Newbie to Mixing, yeah i know this is always asked Options

[spuncan]

K heres what i have, first gen. G3 powermac (getting G5 when they come out), Yamaha keyboard w/ midi in + out, Protools LE. What id like to be able to do is Mix and Remix songs. So my question is what else do i need to connect all of this and and what other hardware do i need (please keep prices down). My past experience is keyboarding, percussion, and audio cleaning (basic just running stuff through a peak demo for a friend.
Thanks for any help you can give.

It sounds like you already have the audio app you need. ProTools LE is great app for home audio production. My question is... do you have a Digi001 interface? You should have some type of Digidesign interface if you have PT 5 LE unless you got the other version which is PT FREE. If you have the Digi001... no mixer needed. In fact, you can use the Digi001 as a mixer if you ever needed.

In my home studio... I use Digi001 with ProTools 5.1.1 LE, along with Bias Peak 2.04 and T-Racks 24. i have some other audio apps but those are the heart and soul of my audio editing and recording needs. I use PT for everything including midi sequencing (which some people claim to be inadequate), audio sequencing, and recording. I use Bias Peak for 2 track editing once in a while and use the T-Racks for mastering tracks.

As long as you have and audio interface for your G3 that allows enough inputs and outputs to meet your needs... a mixer is only and optional item and not really a necessity. I have a 8-track mixer that hardly gets used except to send signals to my keyboard amp and bass amp for jamming. I would recommend a good mic preamp though. I recently acquired a Presonus Blue Tube Preamp and Blue Max Compressor and love the way they add more life to my synth and bass recordings.
