Is there such a thing? I have the opportunity to pick up a G3/500Mhz. laptop for beer money and I'm wondering if I could press it into service as a simple mobile recording system.

Thanks for any help!

Uh, Tracktion was slow on my Dual 2.0 G5... :roll: He said a G3.

Psycle fro my experience is very cpu friendly when using built in synths,and effects.

Reason is not a host and won't record audio (and might be dead?).

:P

Uh, if Tracktion runs slow on your Dual G5 you gots a problem, and it ain't Tracktion.

I highly recommend Tracktion. Intuem is meh, imo. Too fiddly.

Your not going to do too much audio recording with a G3 laptop anyway... In which case were talking efficient music apps, of which, for a G3 there is only one... Reason 2.5 Tracktion 2 is OSX anyway... You could barely run OSX on a G3, if at all...
Reason will still run on OS9...

:P
