    Default First time with S4 and MBP=D

    Hi again peeps, i used S4 for about 2 months now with my win computer, today i got a MBP But i never used a Mac before, but i got very good computer skills when it comes to win pc's.

    Just make sure your latency's ok, but I doubt you'll have any issues. You know what they say, they just work.

    tbh i've never bothered turning off my wifi, never had a problem with it.

    I stream my show over wifi, using a bluetooth keyboard and mouse to chat in multiple windows while I'm playing. I've never had a problem, and my MBP is not anywhere near current top of the line. I think the problem comes from where there's nothing for bluetooth or wifi to connect to as would often be the case when you're playing out.

    I too am a new MBP user, i just did my first gig with my mac at the weekend and all turned off was blue tooth and wifi and everything was flawless.
    i did a 7 hour gig with the 2011 13" base model. and i had not one issue at all,
    i would however suggest to have all your tunes allalized and well organized before hand to save you time, but also, the day before i did the gig, i transferred over a good amount for songs from my PC and i was using the internet and analizing tracks (almost 5000 tracks-wich took a fair bit of time) on the MBP while quickly jumping trough tracks to refresh the old memory a bit and even then i never had an issue, even with using loops and effects etc i dont think i seen the cpu move over the 5/7% mark. everything was just PERFECT
    but even though it was all good at home, i made sure i had a back up plan with an mp3 player and cds cued up and ready to go on the house system.
    but on a whole, you should be fine and good luck

    I'm pretty sure that'd be fine.
