    Hey and welcome! Well today I have to say, laptops still have a huge advantage. I sure hope tablets will get there, but they are not quite there yet…

    Thanks so much for the quick reply Terry, especially as I spent over an hour trying to fathom my way around the Mixvibes forum to post the same question! I’ll have to save my pennies for a laptop. Cheers!

    No problem buddy. I just tried on my minimal spec 13” MacBook Air (2012 model) and 2008 MacBook Pro 15” and both run MixVibes perfectly fine even with my controller, effects and samples running. So even a used MacBook might do fine if you are on a budget.

    Hi djrizki, thanks for the welcome and the funny comment!
    I’m mostly jamming with beats using very processed guitar, no overdrive, and rhythmic loops rather than (hopefully) looking like a prat doing rock licks and tapping a-la-Van Halen. More like Steve Hillage on vallium!

    Oddly enough, I’ve considered just pre-recording my guitar parts and loading them into the samplers in Cross DJ, so I don’t have to ‘pose’ with a guitar and take up more space at the gig, but there is something sonically more interesting about minimal melodies and rhythms played live over a 5min track…. any feedback on this would be greatly appreciated.
