Im thinking about getting a Mac PowerBook does anyone have one of these already and would recommend them?

do you mean the new intel macbooks or the old , G series ones.

the G series are massively underpowered if you are thinking of doing anything like running a sequencing app. My gf has the 17" titanium for photoshop and AfterFX work - and it's about a quarter as powerful as my dothan 2.0. Apple were made very aware of the aged performance on those things and they had been promising a g5 for years before they gave up and had to start again with intel chips.

the new macbooks use now use intel 'dual core' , but I wouldn't get an r1, there are a few kinks to iron out. wait until the next version.

    It goes on the track you’re editing there, in place of that track’s sound, and into My sounds. Your other tracks stay as they are.

    Want to keep that track’s sound? Start a new song in SynthMaker first (Song › New song), then open this.
