LAPTOP

If you’re looking to build a home music recording and production workstation, then deciding which computer to buy will be the single most important decision you’ll make.  In this age of “in the box” computer music production, we’re asking our computers to: record audio, convert analog to digital, interpret MIDI, process audio effects in real-time, process powerful virtual instruments in real-time, mix multiple audio and MIDI channels simultaneously, control kit hardware, and surf the net at the same time.  It’s a tall order for any box.

So deciding if your first purchase should be a desktop or a laptop is an important one that really depends on your needs.  Fortunately (or unfortunately) I’ve used just about every computer configuration possible including: PC laptop only, PC desktop only, PC laptop and desktop networked using FX Teleport, and now an Apple iMac.  In this post, I’ll discuss some of the advantages and disadvantages of laptops and desktops as they relate to computer music recording and production, and hopefully provide some insight to help you make an informed purchase decision.
