Hi everyone,
I'm a complete newbie to using macs, let alone using them to record multitracked music. I am used to using windows PC's running Sonar or Cakewalk Home Studio but have gotten tired with blue screens and numerous compatibility problems that windows machines typically suffer from! I recently saw the light and purchased an iBook G4 1.2Ghz with 256mb RAM and 30GB HDD and was wondering if it would be powerful enough to run Logic 'properly' with real time effects, multiple 'real' instrument recordings etc? I have a MIDI setup at home which works fine with the laptop in garageband using an Edirol USB UM MIDI input device. Also I see it has no line in and was wondering what you guys would recommend as a decent quality, low latency USB sound input device? Any help would be really appreciated! Many thanks, Anders |
