The new LiveBook Diablo by Rain Recording puts the power and versatility of a desktop computer in a sleek mobile audio notebook. Designed around the cutting edge Intel® Core™2 Duo desktop processor, Diablo uses a new quad-fan cooling system to efficiently draw heat away from it's internal components preventing distortion and audio-engine seizure. The result is pure Quiet Cool operation that maximizes your track-count, plug-ins and virtual instruments in a way you'd only expect from a desktop computer. This is the new generation of mobile audio.

Designed for digital audio

Whether you're plugging into an audio interface or recording straight to an external drive, USB 2.0, eSATA and two separate FireWire chipsets give you the kind of lightning fast data-transfer necessary for professional digital audio production. The internal hard drive is a 200GB high-speed drive with a 16MB buffer - perfect for direct to drive recording and instant access to your virtual instrument library. And Rain LiveBooks are tested for compatibility with industry standard digital audio software/hardware and setup so all you have to do is plug it in and start working.
