I have been working with digi 001. I've used performer 3 for a short time. I thought it was great for midi. My old g4's main harddrive crashed on me, so I Purchased a 1.25 ghz machine (osx only). Lately I've been using digi 001 for midi as well as audio. I know there are much better programs that I can use for midi, but I'm just stuck on which one would be right for me. I'm working on a Hip Hop track right now but I also do stuff like bjork, jazz, and house. I just started getting a system going when my computer crashed. It's becoming very frustrating...( I create music so well, but these technical difficulties are just really slowing me down.) I checked out logic 6, and found it a little confusing; however, so many people seem to be using it. I am more familiar with performer, but I'm still torn between the two. I use some outboard gear (mc505, proteus 2000, controller jp8000). I also started using unity sessions which, when it worked was great, but I always had some problem with. I basically need a program that will be user friendly and allow me to let my creative juices flow. Instead of being frustrated , a getting a tenth of creativity recorded. If you can help me, please feel free to write. Thanks

well, the mackie control is not an audio interface, only a control surface. to record audio in, you'll need something else... either you're built in 1/8" audio in jack on your mac, or a usb, firewire, or pc card audio interface.
if you've got a desktop and are looking for an all in one solution, consider the mackie hui... incidentally, dp update from the urban matador: i've been sequencing some midi and imported drum loops and it's a dream to work with. sadly, dp and my korg x5d don't understand each other when it comes to switching program banks, but other than that everything is smooth and seamless, and when i need help, the manual is clear and thorough. -------------------- there can be hours between the so and the what of the so
