I am not a mac owner but may well will be. My girlfriend has me convinced that this titanium I'm typing on is the way to go. I woulld get the bigger screen of course. Aluminium one.
Anyway now I have a Vaio PC thingy with a Wami box that obviously dosen't work on a mac, it barely works on PC. What I'm looking for is an audio interface for the mac. I know there are alot out there, I just don't know what can be used on a mac these days. I don't know where to look/"shop" on the internet. I want to go screen shopping so to speak see some specs. Can someone point me in the right direction? I'm looking for something with one stereo 2x1/4 input and double the output jacks with or without midi. Something PCMCIA or firewire. Actually my edirol um1? may work with a mac so I guess I don't need the midi. I think I'll wait untill firewire gets cheaper. What does everyone use for their Al-book? And where can I see a bunch of these things, please don't say at the music store because I'm in Korea and that is alot different here. There is one big music market that I can't get to everyday. My set up is the mixer to the audio interface. The audio interface running a sampler out to mixer. Oh yea, how about a good sampler for mac? Audio interface out to monitors. Headphones out of the audio interface.

Really good MIDI software for the Mac is propellerheads "Reason 2.5" - total Rackmount Synth Emulation w/ Vocoder
.... you can purchase reason Online. See http://www.propellerheads.se/ for more info. The UM-1 will work with the Al-Book but I recommend a Midiman MIDI Controller like the Oxygen 8 or Radium series because they have surface controllers that are MIDI assignable... thus turning your Controller into a old analogue style synth..... like a moog or Roland SH series. very kewl. .... you can order a Midiman contoller online. See http://www.midiman.com for details If you have the money to spend on a Al Book then you might have the money to spend on a Pro tools system... I'd go that route. With this setup you could rival Danny Elfman's setup. ( http://www.apple.com/pro/music/elfman/ ) P.S. http://www.usbstuff.com and http://www.firewirestuff.com carry alot of great mac audio gear you can call them here for International Orders : (707) 778-6299 or FAX (707)-778-0776 Hope this helps..... grusel |
