I will be getting a Xone 4d soon and was wondering if the new 15" 2.53GHz is powerful enough to handle the Xone 4d using Ableton live?

i run my 3d on a 2.0ghz macbook. and 2nd, i don't think the mixer does anything but send messages to and from your computer? what you should be asking is how the macbook will run ableton, and the answer to that is, perfectly fine

if i can play an 80 track session on a macbook then you can prob play a 200 track session

I just want to make sure I buy the adequate one so it wont crash while performing live

more is always better

lol

The 4D is basically a nice looking soundcard as far as the laptop is concerned, so it will be fine. And as mentioned previously, it's just the laptop running Ableton which is the query. To be honest, if you're getting a Macbook Pro I'm suprised you even had to ask that question.

You'll be way, way fine.

you must be loaded.

Yea I can see how you're surprised I would ask the question. The things is Ive been using Ableton on my crappy pc for 2 years now, and now that my dj schedule is beggining to go off I will be using the 4D and need a mac and I have zero knowledge on macs.

Why do you need a mac? Ableton will run just fine on a pc. Are you needing something mac-only like Logic?

I dont the the 2.53 is worth it for ableton. Even with logic 8 studio i dont think its worth it.

2.4 @ 3mb cache vs 2.53 @ 6mb cache

There is more cache but i havent maxed out my macbook pro yet and i have the 2.4.

Macs are easy to use... just click on buttons and youll get it eventually.

Because I will be using it for playing live, carrying around a pc would be a hassle. And its time to buy a new computer too, my pc is old and cant handle it anymore lol
