This laptop good enough for recordings? - 05/14/05 11:53 AM
Before I dig into it and spend time and maybe more money... do you think this laptop I have would do rough demo recordings okay?
Dell Inspiron 7500
Pentium III 451 MHz
256KB cache
250MB total phsyical memory
10GB hard drive
Soundcard Maestro-2 PCI Audio Accelerator
Floppy drive, CDROM drive
This is my brother's laptop and I have been using it for months with a Linux Xandros shell. If need be, I could install Windows on it. I could buy it from him. Wonder what it's worth?
I could also use my Fostex MR-8 recorder and upload to this laptop via USB. Appears that this laptop has a USB port. But just wondering... if this laptop would have enough horsepower to record rough demo's, it would be simpler than using the Fostex.
And based on what I read in another thread, I guess this laptop would be enough to play mp3's at gigs.
