I'm looking into buying a new mac laptop, and having done a lot of multitrack recording on PC in the past, I'd like to eventually get back into some serious recording. I'm thinking about either Pro Tools or something similar (Logic, Cubase) with a USB or Firewire interface. I'd like to have the capability of recording at least four separate tracks at once.
I'm debating between the Macbook Pro and the black Macbook. For my purposes, is the Pro really needed, or will I do just fine with the Macbook? Both have 2.4 Ghz Core 2 Duo processors, 200 GB hard drives, and 2 GB memory. I live in Japan, and the cost difference between the two is even bigger here than in the States. Is the Pro really worth the extra money? Some advice would be highly appreciated!
