Hi, I posted this on the hardware section but didn’t get any takers. Thought I’d give it a try here. I am just about to buy a little Netbook. Mainly for email and web stuff on the move etc but want to have a little of my DAW arsenal with me if I can. It’s only a cheap HP job with the following spec: Intel Atom N2800, Processor speed 2.13GHz., 1Gb DDR3 RAM, &320GB SATA hard drive.
I have Cubase 6 and Studio 4 and a Windows XP/2000 edition of LE. I would like to try and get the LE loaded on to the Netbook. Will it still work with Win 7? I know I can use Studio 4 on it but I didn’t want to use/loose my dongle therefore I thought LE would do the job and be more mobile. Alternatively is there a free/cheap LE version out there that will do the trick. I was thinking for tweaking mixes on the go etc.
Anyone have any thoughts or sugestions?
Cheers
Paul
You could either try to find the cheapest hardware device that comes bundled with a LE/AI version or …
You could buy Cubase Elements 6.
I have the Elements 6 trial installed on my laptop right now and it’s pretty nice. Of course it isn’t a netbook (2.4 C2D, 8 GB RAM, 7200RPM HDD).
I don’t know how your little netbook would respond to some Cubase action. A lot would depend on what type of projects you are running, I would think.
That 1 GB RAM spec is what would concern me the most. I keep a little Toshiba netbook at work to use as my jukebox and internet machine. The first thing I did was bought a 2 GB RAM kit for it. Definitely made a difference.
Hi and thanks for the responce. I’m going to go for it all the same given that it’s primary use will be web and email on the go. I figure that if I can get some of my music stuff on it then that will be a bonus.
I’ll let you know how it goes.
