Hello,

I hopefully am a future switcher, considering getting a 15.4 SD PowerBook in march.

One of the (many) uses I'd like to make of this beauty would be as a live guitar amp.

I am currently using Revalver Live on win2k, from Alien Connection to emulate a guitar amp in realtime, but I have to sit in front of this bulky PC, and well... I'd rather be slothing in my couch, with my PB near me while I'm rocking away :D

So my question is : Will I be able to plug my electric guitar in my powerbook, and hear what I'm playing with some effects applied in near realtime? If not with GB, maybe with some other software?

Thanks for your answers, and your time,
Palad1

Yes, you can do that with GarageBand. See Apple's page (http://www.apple.com/ilife/garageband/mix.html).
