So what is the ULTIMATE laptop scoring rig that you can take on the road and do fully professional work without compromise? I'm Guy Michelmore. and I'm a professional film games and TV composer and that's what I set out to find out scoring an episode from my latest project in an incredible location, inspired by an amazing view. Very large orchestral templates are not built to travel, so taking them on an adventure comes at a price.....

Wealth Warning: I work on high-end TV and film projects and so this setup is definitely not cheap, but if you want to get professional studio performance on the road, this is how to do it.
