I 've been recording music for years at home on 4 tracks and lately on a Roland digital 8 track.
I want to invest in a Powerbook & Logic 6. What do I need in addition? For an interface I would like 1/4 inch inputs.
I play guitar and all my gear is outboard rack F/X and pedals. Does that make a difference?
Also, I plan to perform live with the Powerbook. What might I need?
I have read through the forums and would like to be a little more personal. Please go easy on me.
Thanks!

You need to have at least one audio interface, either a firewaire or an usb interface. Depending on your needs you may also need a separate midi-interface. For recording midi-info and possibly also for synchronizing purposes. http://www.motu.com/ & http://www.presomus.com/ & http://www.digidesign.com/ --- makes fw-audio-interfaces. http://www.digidesign.com/ & http://www.event1.com/ ----- makes usb-interfaces http://www.digidesign.com/ ----- makes midi-interfaces MOTU:s 828-MK-II is anexcellent fw interface with simultaneous 8-analog ins & outs on 1/4" balanced/unbalanced trs-jacks . It has also two preamp mic inputs Neutrik connectors with 48Volt switchable phantom powert 1 midi in/out I has a no latencu DSP-Cuemix feature & can route 4 speparate discreet stereo mixes to deifferent stereo output pairs. Can also act as a standalone mixer A/D-converter. I has also some synch possibiliteis as well I believe. Check it out at http://www.motu.com/The above mentioned manufacturers are of course NOT the only ones. Cheers: Dixiechicken

Check out WWW.MOTU.COM They have sequencers and Audio/Midi interfaces. Different pricing. You should be able to do what you want LIVE from MOTU They are the BEST. Since you are using a Lap Top they also have a firewire Audio Interface and a USB midi
