What pc laptop should I get to produce music with Pro Tools?

I got his for my son and he is using a macbook pro with 8gb. It works great.

You shouldn't. Get a Mac. Much better for music production; and I'd go with a desktop if you can.

Buy a mini 5 channel behringer mixer and musical deviceconnected to preamp in back of computer,or get a behringer usb interface to connect audio devices to usb cable port.

It's hard to say as that's a pretty broad discussion. Pro Tools is essentially an editing/mixing suite. They're not really interchangeable. But they ARE compatible. You can download files from it onto Pro-Tools no problem.

That depends... PT 10 and PT 11 (And I think maybe PT 9) have finally adapted the open market standards like ASIO and CORE Audio. Any Pro Tools versions before that required proprietary Avid hardware... Probably one of the main reasons I use Cubase! But Yes, the current version of PT11 can most definitely interface with the 16.4.2.

No. This attaches to a PC running using USB (thru MIDI protocol). The software on your laptop, then uses the laptop audio to mix music, change the speed, select tracks. Instead of using the computer keyboard and mouse to control the software, you can use this controller. The computer emulates the functions of mixers, speed control, turntables, etc. to let you DJ with this, a laptop and amplifier. Nothing else needed except maybe a Mic mixer..

the laptop has a good screen size and premium sound. Its light weight as well.if you really want ease try the 11.6 inch laptops screen as well

Also, if what you want to do is hook up a studio-quality microphone to your computer (rather than mix several audio inputs in realtime) you're better off with a dedicated mike preamp like the Art Tube Studio and a USB sound card (cheap ones are fine).

I don't use Pro Tools but the quality is outstanding. Really the only gripe I do have is that the headphone volume uses the same knob as the monitor volume. Having said that I have no regrets about this purchase. Check the Pro Tools site for compatability and if all is well then go for it. You can always return this unit if you have buyers remorse. As for playing metal it retains the harmonics of distorted guitars quite well.

Brandon, Good news and bad news. The ART Tube mp project is a great preamp and can warm tones greatly! On to the other side and to answer your question. You will need an audio interface. I use and recommend a Focusrite Scarlett series which feature XLR and 1/4 inch inputs to a USB output. I personally use a 2i2 model which features 2 inputs to USB and sells for $150 on Amazon. If you only need 1 channel then the Focusrite solo @ $99 will work for you. Read reviews and search youtube and I am sure you will find this the way to go. Sorry to double or triple your expenses, but it has worked fantastic for me with instruments or mics into a DAW computer based system. Hope this helps..... Brandon, Good news and bad news.

I use my G600 for audio production. It's a mouse and keyboard in one for me; this way I can have my left hand free for simple harmonizing and melody making on the midi keyboard, and it also greatly reduces the amount of clicking I need to do going into menus and sub-menus in my music software. You can also create different profiles with different macros, say for your common MS Office functions, like copy/paste, underline, bold, etc. These mice are timesavers!

Any laptop works fine, Reason is a well designed program with capabilities of working on PC and MAC with a low CPU rate. I recommend you any computer with a memory cache (RAM) higher than 4GB, because sometime Reason needs a little boost for working fast with audio tracks. If you are just working with MIDI files any computer can work fine.I hope that this answer will get you the info you needed. I've been using Reason for 5 years already.Best regards from Mexico, and good luck on your purchase!

If you're determined to stay under $100, the ART DJPRE II and Pro-Ject Phono Box MM would both be decent choices. If you're willing to go a bit over budget, you might want to look at the NAD PP2i or Music Hall PA1.2 - both of those are under $200.

Highly recommend you get a MIDI interface. M-Audio makes a good one, the 2 X 2. I've had it for years and I've always been very happy with it.

I would opt for a digital music recorder like a Tascam DR-05. It has direct guitar cable inputs for electric too.

The mini - mini will work fine. Remember the monitor is self powered so no sound quality loss between laptop and monitor. That said if you want more control and/or want to include other inputs (voice, instruments) you can put one of these in-between Avid Pro Tools Express + Mbox

I feel you! The Tascam will be better if you plan to do all mixing on the one unit. In my case the R24 was better because its more compact lighter and ultimately I finish my mixes in pro tools. R24 gives me enough to mix on the move but for stationary recordings Tascam may be the better option with the nice screen. Good Luck! Either way you shouldn't be disappointed.
