Hi all. I need some serious help in making some music on my Powerbook. Can I use the input in the back (I have a G3 400, 192Mb ram)? I have a USB Midi converter (Steinberg), but don't have a USB audio unit (ie roland UA-3). I was thinking of downloading Pro-Tools Free, is this a good place to start? I just need to make demos, I'm not recording pro CDs (yet). I am totally confused by all the software choices there is out there. Is there anyone out there who works on a G3 Powerbook who can guide me? I'm near Toronto, Canada, and I'm used to recording with MIDI equipment. Audio on the computer is another question. HEEEEELP! Thanks to all........mark

Hi, Guess I'm not a spec-head because I find the audio in works really well. I am not sure, however, whether you want to record your keyboard as audio, or as midi tracks. If it's for audio, you probably have all you need unless you need a mixer to boost the sound. The iMic sounds good too but I have heard that it doesn't work with virtual memory turned off which is required by some audio recording programs. If it's midi tracks, you will need a USB interface such as the Midisport which also requires you be be at OS8.6 (available as a download from Apple).
