HEY! For starters, I'm a definate beginner. I just got the new 17" updated IMAC, with the audio input, and I'm looking to set up a little place to record some guitar licks, vocal tracks, and maybe get a keyboard (althought I don't really understand what MIDI is) I got all my little effects pedals for my Strat, is there a way I can utilize these and plug my guitar into my mac to lay some tracks. I've heard about the M-Box, where I could get a guitar and mic in, but is that a good way to go, wouldn't I need to applify the signal? Or could I get a mixer and plug evetything into that? I was gonna try pro tools once I got everything hooked up, but I also need a good way to simulate realistic drums. Am I dreaming here or can this all be done?

you can get the m-box from Musician's Friend for about $450 (List is $850)
<http://www.musiciansfriend.com/srs7/sid=030209095155024153180020960778/search/g=home/detail/base_id/59021> It ships with Pro Tools LE. Pro Tools 6 Upgrade is about $200. The mbox has mic pre's on it, but you will need something to convert the guitar signal to something that can be used by the DAW. A DI box or an amp modeller would be best, but you can always just mic your amp. -------------------- |
