you mean the 1700 mbpro? or the 1200 one. in that case both are identical except for the 2gb ram difference
will both of these choices support the logic studio recording program?

thanks....although i have no idea what you're talking about.
logic studio, logic express and garageband are the music programs for the mac. logic studio software is $500. we're thinking about getting him the macbook or macbook pro with the software for christmas. pretty pricey.
I'll get ragged on for this, but my choice would be the pro, with the optional 1920 x 1200 resolution.
WC and his "special eyes"
I didn't comment on that thread and could care less what screen resolution you use, but I did read part of that thread and, well, I just couldn't pass it up.
i suppose the pro, that's what i'd get.
btw, logic for $500? ... torrent baby!
See, didn't take long to be ragged on over this.
get the one with the bigger resolution, you know you want slant eyes for wide screen viewing![]()
I'd go with the MacBook Pro. I had the 15" and ran ProTools, Reason, Live, BFD2, Recycle and many other sampling programs and it cooked. Is your son, I'm assuming, familiar with Logic?
a little. got him the macbook pro and logic. friggin $$$$$$
Wow. The kid should be happy for a month or so.just kidding. Hope the kid sticks with it.
what do ya think about the keyboard for logic studio?
Oh, and one thing. Don't know if you know or if your kid already has one but DAW's(ProTools, Logic, etc) recommends an external HD for all recordings. It's optimal for the computers drive to handle the function and the external disk to handle the actual recording/playback. I'm not sure what Logic requires but PT requires a 7200 rpm disk which is kind of a to find with FireWire. Hopefully that wasn't a suckerpunch to you.
wtf? you just tin me, right?
How do you mean? The midi controller keyboard or one of those shortcut keyboards with colored keys and all that? I use an Axiom 61. Pretty nifty gadget. Those shortcut keyboards are ok. My buddy has one but me personally didnt feel it made things easier. I just made a file, put it in the dock, put all keyboard+mouse shortcuts in it and went back and forth between that. Better than looking up and down.
Nope. You'll have to check. I'm not too familiar with Logic. You'll have to check the requirements. It's what I had to do to get my ProTools rig up.
the shortcut keyboard.
now that you said he'd need an external drive.........screw the keyboard.
goddamn money pit.
almost 3 grand already.
Yeah. It can be but check out if Logic does require that. Like I said, it's what I had to go through with ProTools.
And yes that shortcut keyboard is about $120. If I'm not mistaken there's a skin you can buy. I think I remember seeing those out there.
Yep.Plus, does your kid have a recording interface already? Something to get sounds/midi info into the computer to record?
ok......now your pissin me off.
I'm not pulling your lariat.
you need a recording interface to get sounds/midi into the laptop. Luckily you're not putting together a ProTools rig. What all is your kid wanting to do with this? Recording wise and all that.
lucky kid... ridiculous parent. kids don't deserve $1000+ gifts, i don't care how good they are all yr. i would've got him an ipod and called it a day, an old cheap ipod at that.
well, he's able to get sounds into the imac through garageband.
what am i missing here? is it different on the macbook pro?
