surfjunkie Posted February 28, 2002 Share Posted February 28, 2002 this must be a PCI thing? otherwise you could probably get a laptop that would do what you need- a lot safer than flying with a tower. i'm not an expert, they should be here shortly. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan South Posted February 28, 2002 Share Posted February 28, 2002 A laptop (iBook, G4) would be SO much easier! With Firewire, USB, and the PCMCIA slot, you'll have a lot of connectivity at your disposal. The Black Knight always triumphs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offramp Posted February 28, 2002 Share Posted February 28, 2002 Either some serious road cases (meaning serious money) or a Titanium G4 (meaning serious money). Either way, plan to arrive very early at the airport so you'll have time to plug everything in, turn it on, and demonstrate to security that it's not a bomb. If you have the cash to drop, I'd consider getting a regulated power supply for 'foreign currency' (hah hah ha hah h,h......ahem...), because not a whole lot would suck more than getting your baby over there, only to have it destroyed by crappy, unfiltered, un-protected power. I've upped my standards; now, up yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
where02190 Posted February 28, 2002 Share Posted February 28, 2002 Good road cases, and do not take it commercial, ship it with an international freight company. It will be handled better and have a far better chance of actually getting there. Hope this is helpful. NP Recording Studios Analog approach to digital recording.

deanmass Posted February 28, 2002 Share Posted February 28, 2002 I'd look into renting one once you get to Europe, unless you know of a retail outlet with a liberal enough return policy to cover your trip.. :p While not for shipping, [url=http://www.thinkgeek.com]www.thinkgeek.com[/url] has some really cool tower sling cariiers designed for gamers, but great for hauling a tower around without heavy travel...

ustah Posted February 28, 2002 Author Share Posted February 28, 2002 Thanks guys for replays,yes I do have an Ibook,but I have a lot of software[especially waves]installed in G4 so there is no chance to have them on both computers also I need G4 because I'm using motu -1224 and...you know PCI thing[and I need to record 10 tracks at a time],The only problem is do you think that I'm allowed to put G4 onboard!!!!???

where02190 Posted February 28, 2002 Share Posted February 28, 2002 very unlikely they'll let you bring the G-4 onboard, as if it is cased properly, it will be too big. Even so, I'd be prepared to spend much time powering it up, making it function, whihc of course would also require a monitor, etc. Renting or shipping is the way to go. Hope this is helpful.
