Hello All,
My son and some friends have started a small garage band. They recently bought some really nice speakers and a mixing board with something like 8-10 channels/tracks. This things has just about every imaginable connections I ever seen on it. I'm a computer graphics person by profession and really get into cool software, I'm now studying Electric Image Universe 3D app. They came to me and asked if I could setup a MP3 jukebox for them after seeing my tower running iTunes. I sold them my iMac 400 DVSE, we dropped in a 160GB drive and a Gig of memory and have currently loaded all our CD collections onto it. They now plug the iMac into the mixing board and the songs really rock over the new speakers! I thought I was at a concert. Now they want me to be their "sound man" and find some software that we can use to send some tracks into my G4 tower from the mixing board and eventually burn to CD. Last night I loaded the free Pro Tools LE and OMS package. We played around with some simple voice tracks since we didn't have it near the band's equipment. We used the Mac's little microphone to get the sound in. They got pretty excited about it. Of course I had to bootup into OS9 to run ProTools. I'm currently running 10.2.1, have a Radeon 8500AGP, Radeon 7000PCI, 60 and 80GB drives and 2GB of ram in this G4 400 sawtooth tower. My question, what software for OS X should I be looking at when a OS X version is released? The LE, light, beginners edition is probably all we would ever need. Pro Tools LE looked like it had plenty of features along with the 8 track limit. What about a LE version of Logic? Does one exist. I know we're just now seeing OS X music software coming our way. I can mess around with Pro Tools LE in OS 9 until something is available but I'm not sure if I want to learn it to much if something else would be better. I'm a pretty fast learner and can jump around different software apps without problems. Thanks -------------------- ----

QUOTE (lantzn @ Oct 11 2002, 23:03) Mackie Compact Mixer 1202 VLZ Pro http://www.mackie.com/record/1202vlzpro/index.html Sorry, but for what i've seen on the MAckie's site, you only have 2 aux sends... No routiung or groups or sub-groups... Sad, IMHO... More than 2 simultaneous tracks will not be possible, untill you directly plug in the audio interface... QUOTE I currently have over 500 music cds, and had a ton of LPs which were all recorded onto a Teac reel-to-reel years ago. I like preserving my investments (LPs) Amazing, i'm quite impressed... Is this only private & personal stuff? Did you ever broadcast, in any manner? Where? ;-) I'm suddenly feeling so lazy... :-) Bye. |
