I've got an Acer Aspire
that I love! Granted, I'm just getting into the looping game, but for
the video, etc. that I've played with on it, I've been very happy with
the performance. If you get one, you'll probably want to reinstall
Windows to change from FAT32 to NTFS and leave out a bunch of the Acer
bundled software. You might also want to partition it differently than
50/50. But for the money, IMHO, it's a great machine.

Dear mark, Per, Andreas...
THAT DOES IT! I have to now go out and buy my first ever PC in order to run
Mobius. This is gonna drive me crazy if I don't.
What is the most affordable, small and powerful enough PC laptop I can buy
to augment my 17 inch powerbook, operating with a Traveler? Any hints??
Since I don't know windows architecture or assemblage whatsoever, I'd love a
hint or two should you all be willing...
All best,
Todd

OK, a while ago I fooled around with Mobius and
Sooperlooper unsuccessfully. Not sure why, probably
under powered in the computer dept. Well last week my
Toshiba dual core 2gighz machine showed up on my
doorstep (literally, I can't believe UPS fucking left
it on my doorstep with no signature or attempt to
leave it with a neighbor or have me pick it up at
UPS!)
(immorality alert..)
Well then you never received it! Call the computer company! "Where's my
2ghzDual!?" I'm sorry, but delivery people need to be taught an effin'
lesson sometimes... Besides, if the computer company don't get a
signature on their track-n-trace they'll probably claim it themselves.
;)
For the first week I just played around with
softsynths. Man I love some of the instruments that
come with Reaktor 5. Anyone make a good Reaktor based
looper?
I've made a tiny little looping module for reaktor - it can do
stuttering loop mult/div, overdubs, replace, sync and even do feedback
percentages above 100, to bring up old noises from your loop, plus you
can easily insert effects in the feedback chain for more craziness. I
keep meaning to touch it up and share it, but... yeah.. don't seem to
get around to it. Bug me by sending me enough emails, I guess.
I'm getting a dual 2ghz with 2gigs of ram on tuesday... can't wait!
Andreas.
