hello everybody! i have just recently bought my first mac, an iBook G4 12" with 512 MB RAM, 1 GHz processor, OS X 10.3 and 30 GB of memory. i used to record very happily with cakewalk on my PC. garageband seems a bit "gimmicky", if you know what i mean. logic express looks good, but i just wanted to make sure my ibook can cope with it. is the sound card good enough? will the program run smoothly enough, or will it be so slow and painful i would only get annoyed and end up smashing the ibook on the floor?
i am not very ambitious, i basically only want to record real instruments and voices and play around a bit with them and cut them up and stuff like i did with cakewalk. i'm not bothered with midi or anything.

Your iBook should work just fine for you,, you might want to put more ram in it, if it is not already maxed out. OSX uses a ton of ram. I agree with the gimmicky comment directed towards GB, but it does have its uses (even though it is a CPU hog). Logic should run smoothly on the iBook. You may also want to check out Metro 6. Metro 5 was handled by Cakewalk, then handed back to Sagan. It's about as close to a Cakewalk feeling program as you are going to find. Try out the demo's.
