I just ordered the new IMac G5, I have heard some things about using macs, (I am new to mac, been a pc guy for a while). I heard you need external sound cards and the like. What does a guy needs for the basics to set up the mac for recording tracks using guitar, vocal, drum machine and keyboards, not all at the same time, maybe 2 max at the same time? I just need to know the basics so I can get up and running. I'm not even sure yet what kind of software to use, I was going to play around with garageband until I found something I liked better. Any info would be great.

Check it out - it may also be the answer for you?  I was a PC user this time last month- I am never looking back!
