mac laptop set-up
hello,
i am thinking of getting an Apple iBook for live use as an instrument
(softsynth, sampler, looper/fx). i would like to focus as much as
possible on the iBook and have no external gear, since i am thinking of
traveling a lot with it. has anyone on the list done looping or live
electronic music with their mac laptop? what was the set-up, and do you
have any tips or feedback from the experience? i have lots of questions
about various things, such as how to route the signal internally and be
able to go through various effects, use different apps at once (VST
instruments, etc.), and mix it all into a pair of stereo outs. i've been
playing with apps like Absynth, ReCycle, Phrazer, Cubase/Logic/ProTools,
Reaktor, Koblo, various VST instruments and effects... i basically want
to be able to route whatever sampler or softsynth i am playing through
effects and also do some triggering and sequencing among the different
apps. i mostly do live improv so i prefer triggering different samples
manually to sequencing the whole thing, but i would be curious about
sequencing also.
anwyay, any relevant advice will be appreciated.
thanks,
jeff
