Hi, I am kinda new to what is available in the world of the Mac. I have ordered a new iMac G5 computer with 512MB of RAM and started looking at Garage Band. I wanted to talk to my uncle regarding things having to do with music as he used a Mac to create the songs for all his albums using Digital Performer (not sure of the version). However, I am looking at Garage Band and Logic as possible options, but I am not sure where to start, or what equipment I would need, or how it all works. I used to do music tracking on my old 486 PC in DOS with Impulse Tracker 2.14, and I am wanting to get back into music.
What do I need to know to head in the right direction? What do I need to use? What is the differences between programs like Garage Band, Digital Performer and Logic? Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. |

Twain I can honestly say if anyone asked for someone's opinion you win the prize! Other than that your comment about Logic being terrible? Probably because you just don't get it isn't fair to Enygma. Logic is an amazing program and out of the box is well worth the 1,000. Let's try and buy a plugin bundle for Pro Tools? You just seem to like things that are simple to use and that's understandable. Flexibility and room for growth is key in my opinion and that is Logic.
Quoting Trent Reznor? Come on get it together! Anyone who is curious to get into music production should just check out the product demos. I have used several programs and yes I have used Pro Tools and still feel that Logic is the logical way to go. Be safe everyone |
