joshuac Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 Hello. I have Logic 10.4.6 with Omnisphere, Keyscape, instruments etc. I have an m-audio Keystation 88. I want to create a super, portable set-up so I can play these software instruments live. what is the most portable computer/audio interface combo that will allow me to play live without too much latency? I have a Macbook Pro but is there something even smaller, cheaper, more portable? BTW, the venues supply monitors and PA. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddcow Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 I’d have thought that a MacBook Pro with a Thunderbolt interface would be the smallest and lowest-latency option, especially if you need the processing power for Omnisphere etc. If you’re open to using other synths that are less resource-intensive, you could always consider an iPhone or iPad-based rig. There are some pretty amazing iOS synths/plugins now and all you’d need is a MIDI interface for your keyboard....maybe not even that if it can connect directly to the iOS device via adaptor.

Ploki Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 I use a MacBook Pro 13" with RME FireFace 400 (half rack) The combo is literally lighter than my 25key controller is If I went smaller I'd go MBP 13" + RME BabyFace, but i need channel count FF400 provides. Anything smaller is iPad really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
douthet Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 I currently use a MacBook Pro, Maudio keyboard and a Radial USB pro DI (I cant recommend those enough) super small rugged, and has never failed on me. Plug and play as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
