RE: laptop based loopers/effects for live



I've gigged many times with my Powerbook and nary a glitch other than those
clearly caused by my own programming inadequacies. Lately, the glitches are
universally the wetware (i.e., me) and never the hw or sw. On the PC side, 
I
have a DELL laptop that is poorly engineered for audio, despite being
marketed as a multimedia laptop - it has never worked consistently. OTOH, 
my
desktop PC is a highly reliable audio powerhouse.

Best wishes,
Warren Sirota
