Hi recording Gurus
At what point does it become feasible to use a laptop for recording, only top of the range i7 or never (rather go for a PC)? Lets assume I want to track and mix with plugins and software synths etc. Is there a (rough) nr of tracks limitation? What spec would you recommend? Are there some common pitfalls when it comes to laptops and recording?
Software would probably be Reaper with a Presonus FP10 (8 channel firewire). Sorry if I left any needed info out.
Then anyone use EMES monitors? Kobalt (5") / Quartz (6")?
Contrasted against something like the KRK VXT6?
Would you rather have higher quality smaller woofer monitors or vice versa? The smaller the woofer the less lower freq it'll have, so what would you say would need to be the minimum? 50Hz? 60Hz?
The monitors will probably be in a pretty small room with slight accoustic treatment (my next area of investigation).
Thanks in advance! ?
