Testimonials

Customer Testimonials & Reviews

Read what Rain Customers think about their LiveBook audio workstation:

"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.

"I love my laptop and I am half-way through recording my first album on it."

–Todd O.
