I have almost the exact same setup for production (minus the x-session); 2.0 ghz Dual Core MacBook w/ 2gb ram. Reason and Live run great on it...

Come on, which is it??!!
And by the way, thats bollocks about everyone knows the RP8s are not good for production. Put them next to the M1 MK2s and I bet I know what "everyone" would choose.

i meant that every piece of analog equipment colours the passing signal. but for production some colouring is ok...
personally I think RP8s sound dull and have poor low-freq response
anyways..

What the...
Dude.. that post is WAY off. In my huble dj/producer opinion.
When I produce i am often running 30+ channels on ableton with different effects on EACH channel.
if anything i'd say a gig would be enough for djing and the opposite for producing.
Making tunes works your cpu MUCH harder than playin' em.

I really like the tannoy precision series and the ellipse series. Very nice frequency response very neautral and uncolored.

not necessarily true...thats why you can freeze your vsts and use audio clips rather than individually generated sound peices...plenty of people get by using 1gb (including myself). although on a PC i guess what you're saying is true lol.

I've never had any problems producing using only a gig. I've done it with even less. Hell give me an old Atari and some analog synths!

Oh I'm not saying you can't produce on a gig, I did on 512 for ages, I'm just saying theres one way you could convince me it makes sense for producers to have 1 gig while djs need 2 - and I hate freezing tracks if I can avoid it.
