There are those who would swear by their Mac and Protools rigs. They're great rigs, don't get me wrong, but they do not monopolize audio/video production anymore. There's a reason why Apple switched to Intel processors. Not only that,...

I use a laptop for music production and had an Acer Aspire 1710 that died. I've just ordered a pimped out Dell 9300 that will be compatible with everything that you want to do. It's less than the laptops at ADK proaudio that i...

Bump... I took a chance and reformatted and doing a fresh install thinking that may fix it. It didn't fix it and it didn't load the drivers with the rest of the installation. I went back and manually loaded the drivers, tried to...

I'm not familiar with using the Fn key to cut off hardware during boot. I'm not sure what to press with Fn to shut if off. Right now I just have my WiFi card out and it's been running fine for the most part. It's when I put it back in...
