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. |

Sorry to offend you deadman. Just giving him my opinion on things. Nothing sucks worse than to shell out a bunch of money and get home only to decide you've bought garbage and are now stuck with it. I've done this quite a few times. And to being uber rich I don't just have the money to always go remedy the mistake. My audio interface is one example, my 410 has terrible latency, and after spending several days tryig to correct the situation, all I've discovered is there are lots of other other mac users who are just as disappointed in their products as I am. And now I don't have a usable AI!
