Customer Testimonials & Reviews

Read what Rain Customers think about their LiveBook audio workstation:

"The Rain LiveBook is absolutely a gem. i dunno how i lived without it beforehand. i love this machine."

Eric H.

"The LiveBook ran flawlessly in my first session with it, thank you guys so much for producing a PC with such outstanding and stable power, cheers to you."

Dave T.

"I absolutely love the system and am having a great time recording and editing. I don't have any issues and believe that I owe this to the intelligent application of hardware and software that you people create. The concept of tuning the system to work together makes a lot of sense, but unless it delivered the results, it would only be a concept. Great work!"

Colin L.

"The sound of "silence" - how nice. Thank you for making a "quiet" computer."

Charles N.

"Just wanted to let you know that my recording session went off without a hitch! Almost 5 straight hours of recording without a hick-up. It sure feels like a solid machine and I know it will serve me well. I didn't even bring my ADAT for the "just in case" backup!

You made a great machine and I have confidence I will get years of use (and million dollar recordings) out of it!"

Douglas B.

"I'm a happy RAIN customer. I've got a L5 LiveBook and it's just great. It has enough power to be used as a normal desktop pc, and its portable!!! As a academic studying computers I recognise the quality of this product... the whole system is outstanding. Thanks alot!

For me music is a hobby, I'm not trying to sell cd's, I just want to make music. And the LiveBook gives me everything I need."

Lee S.

Plug & Play

LiveBook Zephyr is the first Rain mobile audio workstation designed as a digital sketchbook for musicians and DJs. Light, sleek and totally mobile, Zephyr is ready to rock wherever and whenever inspiration strikes. Hook it up to your DJ software and the party is in your hands. Lay down a quick guitar part, do a scratch vocal track and instantly capture the vibe of your idea in the moment. Make your edits, do a rough mix and burn a CD for everyone in the band. Best of all, it doesn't matter where you are because Zephyr travels light. In your hotel room or your living room, Zephyr makes it easy so you can make your music.

Digital sketchbook

With a 15.4" widescreen display and Intel Dual Core brain, Zephyr is the perfect balance of price and performance. Designed and tested for use with your audio software like Traktor, Reason and Pro Tools, LiveBook Zephyr gives you the power to add just the right amount of tracks, plugins and synths so you can bring your music to life. A high performance, SATA II drive uses a dedicated 16MB buffer to prevent bottlenecks that cause dropouts and distortion. Rain's Quiet Cool™ Design ensures smooth operation without excess heat and noise. At home or on the road, Zephyr gives you a sketchbook to capture your inspiration and create without barriers starting at just $1299.
