There are not that many people who publish about multi-channel soundstudio's that can by carried in a backpack. That's exactly what I put together last month's. How I did that? Listen:
First I bought a Dell mini10v netbook and installed the latest Apple OSX operating system. Then I connected my very small 8 channel M-audio Sonica Theater audio interface to the usb port. Also my midi controller keyboard is connected to the usb port. The software programm I use is Plogue Bidule. With 2 AU softsynt's and a 4 channel recorder I make my soundscape's. Editing, moving and positioning the soundsources happens in Soundtrack Pro. As surround player I use VLC, playing ac3 files to my interface and my Zalman surround headphone. I am still constructing battery powered speakers who fit also in the backpack. So, being at home, in the camper or in my log cabin everywhere I can put my inspiration in a multi-channel sound production.
