Guest locum76 Posted July 9, 2006 Report Share Posted July 9, 2006 hi folks... i think i'm possibly going to need a laptop soon for gigging and was wondering what is the minimum spec a laptop would need to run ableton successfully. (presuming i'll have a decent external soundcard). Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/10556-laptops-and-ableton/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Idiron's Giblets Posted July 9, 2006 Report Share Posted July 9, 2006 i just got a new lappy with 1gb ram and 1.8ghz processor to use ableton on. it runs almost perfectly with a load of effects and synths playing in 32ths.

BCM Posted July 10, 2006 Report Share Posted July 10, 2006 Runs OK on my 1.6Ghz AMD MT 64, only got 512MB RAM too.....pity I can't work out how to use Ableton properly.... Oh well, back to FLoops....

Guest greenbank Posted July 10, 2006 Report Share Posted July 10, 2006 yeah, anything above 1ghz and 512ram should be a'right. my old desktop ran ableton fine with that and 1ghz sucks for a laptop these days so any decent mid-price will easily cut it.

Guest Broxburn Posted July 11, 2006 Report Share Posted July 11, 2006 Also try and get a laptop with a fast hard drive. 7200rpm makes a big difference when using audio programs.
