Anyone use a Netbook to organize tracks? Posted on: 05.01.2011 by Karolis Petrauskas Do any of you have the S4 software loaded on a netbook? Does it run at all? I'm not talking about a full setup but will it be useable enough to add some cue points and build playlists? I would not play out with this, it would be more of a sit on the couch maybe with an x1 machine. | |

Sweet deal for a mini macbook. I believe with OS X you wouldn't have any issues with the S4 software....you might just need more than the standard 1 gig of memory they come with. |

| Karolis Petrauskas 25.01.2011 | Actually my tracks are super organized...I just wanted to know if anyone was using their netbooks to sort tracks. |

| Julissa Serrone 05.01.2011 | yeah I liked it alot. I haven't used it in a while though....it's been about 8-9 months since I even seen that thing (in storage right now). I used to like it alot. For the price having a mini macbook was awesome. Trackpad was "ok". You can only do 2 finger moves on it. No 3 or 4 swipes. Checkout www.mydellmini.com That's where I got the info to do the hack job and those guys were always coming up with new releases and updates. I know the trackpad was the one thing they were trying to improve on about 10 months ago. I believe for the price if I wasn't going to put OS X I wouldn't get it. The smallness of it, does take some getting used to. If I get to my storage before I take off, I'll let you hold on to it. |
| Karolis Petrauskas 05.01.2011 | Nice Haze, I was believeing of getting the 10v...do you like it? I saw a few others that work well with osx. Hows the trackpad on the dell? |
| Julissa Serrone 05.01.2011 | one thing I forgot to add is the screen resolution is too small for traktor preferrences. I used to have to minimize the screen so I could hit the import buttons and then change it back to normal. |

| Janyce Henningson 05.01.2011 | Haven't tried it but pretty sure it would work for what you said and testing mixes - as long as you're not throwing loads of fx and using the loop recorder should be fine |
