Hey guys
I thought this forum would be the best place to ask this question, as i could get answers from people who use the products.
Iv been offered a place on a course to study Soundtrack Production, annoyingly one of the requirements for the course is to have a laptop and get pro tools, now i use a 2nd gen 8 core mac pro and logic 9 for all my music needs. Getting pro tools isn't a problem, they teach it from scratch on the course, so using it wont be a problem.
I only need the laptop for audio recording with protools and the Mbox, and i will be primarily using the laptop to take into uni to showcase my work to the tutors and other students at workshops. Also to take out and record Foley, etc.
All the main projects i will do on the Mac Pro, so im wondering if i should just get a bog standard MacBook with my student discount, or is it worth spending the extra money on a MacBook Pro, baring in mind i have the 8 core MacPro in my studio?
Any advice would be appreciated!
Cheers!
