Ok. So I have a G4 laptop I got a hold of. I also have an M-Audio E-Keys 37 USB midi Controller. I am totally new to this. I am looking for a good setup i can use to record a multi track midi song. I tried using garage band but it's not working out for me. I am using ableton live 7 LE and I like it, but my computer overloads quickly and it is a little confusing
All i want to do is use this USB controller to make some midi songs. software instruments would be great Stylings for drum n bass, 80;s electronica, and techno would be my forte. some small Fx like Echo, Delay, Chorus,and Distortion would be awesome... I am a guitar player, so this is going to be an interesting experience. Something I can get ahold of as far as being able to download would be great as well because I will be unable to accept delivered items for the next 4 months as i will be traveling. If it would work on an intel CPU i would be grateful so I can use it at home when i return. I was trying to find a copy of tracktion 1.5 but I am un sucessful I was peeking at Cubase 4 and it has a 16 track Midi Recorder.... could i Use this with my USB piano? would i need a way to use Midi Inturements outside of the program? Can anyone guide me in a general direction with the keyboard? I havent even recieved it yet and will get it on tuesday. This post has been edited by IRONSLAVE: Sun 31 May 2009, 23:03 |

Assuming your g4 laptop is not brand new ...
Run the Disk Repair program (in hard drive / applications / utilities / Disk Utility ) ... run it and just repair the permissions on your drive, then do the verify routine ... often this frees up a whole bunch of questions and resources ... Once a month is usually more than enough. And before you spend a bunch of cash on more ram (although that is always a good idea) you might google "mac performance" and try some of the simple fixes that remove a lot of dreck on your hard drive, etc, etc ... Have faith in your USB MIDI controller ... it can even write sheet music with the right software -------------------- |
