Dual-boot Wins machine
I did a few tracks of guitar on Ableton Live 5 with a number of VSTs and it seems faster than before. Booting-up Live 5 is quick too, when previously it takes longer... Recording is definitely faster and clicking is more responsive. Previously there is a bit of lag in response when clicking anything. So far, i'm happy with the results through this "minor work..." I guess the real test is when i start layering delays/reverb/compressor/phaser for my dub stuff...
In the pic above you can see the Dual boot prompt...
Acer is my "everyday" partition, while DAW is my... DAW partition...
I'm in Create Digital Music!
It was really weird when i was approached by Peter Kirn (editor of CDM - thanks Peter!) asking if he can use my pics for an article. I give him a go ahead with reference links to my "work blog" and "myspace." And i was pleasantly surprised with his kind comments! Still can't believe there's a "feature" of my stuff along with ALL the good stuff there!

Homestudio v3.0
Well, since we are in the topic of "show us your homestudio", here's my latest addition:
- MacBook Pro 2.4Ghz with 4GB ram
- 2nd hand stompboxes: (Boss MT2, SD1 & DS1, ProCo Rat II, Tech21 XXL, MXR Phase 90 - the Boss and Rat pedals to be sent to Robert Keeley for mods)
- Skullcandy Hphones (gift from my sis)
- Line6 ToneportGX
- PRS SE Paul Allender guitar
- Custom Flying-V (made from IKEA boxes)
I was testing/recording the pedals in Garageband. Currently the MacBook Pro will be used mainly for Graphic Design/Art work as it don't have a dedicated DAW (except for Garageband) for serious work. It might change once i have Logic Express 8! :mrgreen:

Well do keep us updated.
I'm quite keen on dual booting as well
