[QUOTE="walkerj, post: 352681, member: 9385"] Sounds like (heh, get it?) your needs might be handled fine with a Macbook and GarageBand. Or at least my brother-in-law's needs are being handled just fine with his Macbook, and he's a hobbiest musician who is finding that the Macbook's built-in audio (and software) capabilities will be serving him well for his own music productions. Perhaps I will check with him to see if he's had time to lay down some tracks with his instruments/equipment. As for performance/$$$ issue, the Macbook specs compare quite nicely with a similarly sized and equipped Windows computer, but with all the software that makes a Mac perfect for audio/visual work on a hobby scale at the same or a cheaper price. If you're going to start getting fancy (as in Studio fancy) then the Pro is where you're going to want to look. Right now, however, it seems as though it's the graphics (3D graphics that is) department that the Pro has it over the Macbook. Otherwise, the Macbook has portability in its favor with all of the capabilities to produce good audio and graphic images at a good budget price point. [/QUOTE]
