Jun. 26th, 2005 06:10 pmStuff Wot I WANT:
Either Alesis M1 Active MKII or Mackie Tapco S5 - in actual fact, I think I'm almost certainly gonna buy the Mackies. For my home studio kinda setup, they look ideal, and get decent reviews, plus, it'll hardly break the bank.
Akai PD16 drum pad unit. no real use for it, just WANT.
Behringer BCR2000 - because, at that price, it's a fucking steal and I've been enjoying using my cute, but limited X-Session which has way less features (it was about half the price of the Behringer six months ago - wow, are prices falling.)
Anyone got any opinions on the Mackies and / or Alesis?
another thing I could use a little information on:

messyscribbles is after a new laptop and I'm trying to find out whether he'd be better served with an AMD Turion ML30 1.6gh ML30 processor or an AMD Sempron 2800+. Two laptops we're looking at have those as options for comparable prices, but I don't know enough about either to make a call.
For your typical desktop applications, is there a vast reason to pick one over the other?
Speak up, techies :)
as per usual, though, unless you can recommend something different / superior for the money, "ACER ARE SHIT!!" or "AMD ARE SHIT!!" responses aren't really useful to me. I've been running an Acer Aspire 1350 for 9 months and have had a really good experience with it, so I'm relatively happy to recommend 'em.
to put it another way, "use linux!" replies can fuck off ;)
