[hatari-users] My Hatari Laptop

[robin heath <robinheath11@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Hatari,

I am a professional computer musician, and have always used Cubase as my preferred music software. I use it for producing teaching sheets, composition demos, and a practice tool, for mastering new pieces of music. 

As I have watched and meet people in the music industry, I have noticed that the Atari Cubase setup, is still used and preferred by many musicians, and wondered if Hatari could offer me a professional system, running an old version of Atari Steinberg Cubase; rather than looking for a secondhand Atari ST or Falcon, which could have support and other problems. 

The specifications for this project, are as follows:

1. I would prefer a laptop computer for this project.
2. I would like to run, Steinberg Cubase Score, or Cubase Audio, Atari versions, one only. Specifications below 4.
3. I would like a midi in/out interface, one of each to start with, but maybe more later on.
4. Native audio, 3.5mm stereo jack output, 3.5mm stereo jack line input.
5. Good enough to use in a professional environment.
