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. |

re Digital Performer 4, I recently bought a 'how to' book on it called 'Producing music with digital performer' from 'Berklee Press' which seems to be endorsed by the folks at MOTU. Not too dear at around 17 quid. Mind you I've yet to discover how good it is (or the bible sized manual which DP4 comes supplied with) coz I'm STILL waiting for my G5 to arrive so I can install the damned thing and write some music!
cheers, jaysee. |
