I want to set up a home studio and I'm not sure which software and sound card to buy. I have a G4 Quicksilver 733mh with 384 mb of ram. It's running OS X 10.1.5 right now and it seems that I will have to upgrade to either Jaguar or Panther. Will Mackie, MOTU, EMagic, CU Base or anything else work on my system? Basically I will only be recording vocals, acoustic and the occasional electric (one at a time). I know I need to get an extra hard drive too but I'm not sure what kind or speed I need.
Any suggestion will be appreciate!

this is kinda a vauge question with so many options... it all depends on what features you want, how much quality are you willing to pay for and how much do you have to spend. Thus reason for no one has tackled this question yet I think.
I would seriously do some research into the different audio programs and see if any of them seem to fit what you would like to do. Almost any of the major audio apps should work on your system. Then after you have found a program that fits your needs... research it more and see what interfaces work well with it and decide what fits your pocket as prices vary on these quite a bit. Some programs work better with certain audio interfaces than others... usually audio interfaces made by same company of the DAW program are a sure bet to compliment each other well and some interfaces like Mbox Digi001 002 etc. come bundled together.
