Can anyone help?
I'm looking to record two live acoustic instruments or vocals (classic guitar and flute or voice), probably with small condenser mics, and have enough software to clean up the recordings and publish and burn to cd. I have a Mac G4 400mhz w/640 ram. I'm thinking of Garageband, but am not sure what else I need. Will something like an M-Audio Delta 1010 card be enough to get going? Should I get Protools instead of Grageband? Would I be better off with an MBox or a Motu 828 or something like that? I will also be doing some composing in the near future, and will probably get Reason or Logic Pro. Should that have any impact on what I need right now, just for recording? Thanks everyone! |

You will have to find an old version of iLife to use GB on your current machine.
The current version requires at least a 733MHz G4 or higher, when I attempted to load it on my now retired G4/400 the installer would not allow installation. Recording audio won't be a problem on that machine but adding virual effects and instruments will bring it to it's knees. I don't think your machine has enough juice for the current version PTLE. Apps like Logic and DP have a freeze function that allows you to free up cpu resources. On my old G4/400 I was able to sessions of 24-32 tracks using Logic 6, and 7 and DP3.
