Hey out there,
I'm a musician looking to get an audio recording setup going on a new ibook (500Mhz., 192 MB Ram, 10 gig drive) I just ordered. Eventually I want to add midi as I do play a Kurzweil SP-76 keyboard, but mainly I'm a bass player and need to replace an aging four track for my band. I don't have much money to spend so it looks like I'm going to be stuck with the imic audio I/O. I've read all the posts to this forum and it sounds like protools free won't work with the imic. What other good, cheap, audio recording software do you all reccommend (I'd love a MOTU 828 into Cubase 32, but I just don't have the cash). I have about $250 to spend total. Right now I'm planning on getting a Behringer eurorack Mixer and running that into the imic. Then using Cubasis VST 2.0 to record the actual tracks. The total price for this setup looks to be about $215. Should I be looking at other hardware configurations instead? The mixer is key as I need to get 2 drum mics, 2 vocal mics, guitar, bass, and keyboard in all at once. I'd love to record separate tracks, but it looks like that's not possible in my price range. Any reccommendations would be appreciated. The UA-30 and Egosys inputs don't look like they do any more than the imic, but cost 6 times as much. If I'm wrong about this, please educate me. rtpeyton@ukans.edu |

QUOTE Quote: from abbie on July 31, 2001 - 10:04[br]I read somewhere that the iMic only works with virtual memory on, which is incompatible with a lot of recording packages. Does anyone know if this is really true? see my post in 'PowerBooks, Firewire & Music - how?' forum to same question by someone else -------------------- ----------------------------------------
