i dont have much money. and to do simple recording/sequence (1trackat a time, maye 2 but i doubt it) tasks. i wont be needing a G-something, right? im a guitarman and i just want to make some songs with midi drummachine, work out structures etc...
theres a company here in belgium that recycles macs and they sell a full equipped 7300/200 for 200euros. i wana buy that thing it looks very interesting for the price(for the research i have done on macs) the only problem left is SOFTWARE, how do i get older versions of whatever cubase, cakewalk... another thing: yes i wanna do those things on a computer. i worked with cakewalk pro audio 9 before on this computer (which is a pc that runs on windows and isnt mine) and i like that better than working on the stupid drummachine (alesis) on which i tend to lose my patience all the time. keep in mind that i dont have my own computer yet so im gonna use it for some other minimalistic things you think id be allright for 400-500 euros? any suggestions Highly Appreciated  and im sorry if theres been someone else before with a similar question. i looked for a bit and it looks like the most have a g3 or more. so before i got crazy i made my own thread

The points made already should cover what you need to know, other than software.. You probably already know the origional factory specs, but if not, CLICK HERE... The machine seems to be good enough to run some basic multi track software, but as pointed out so many times up there, finding it may be the hardest part of your project. My best advice would be searching ebay or any of the p2p networks. I know how hard it is finding older software first hand because I'm trying to feed a PowerMac 5500 my self.. Cubasis AV is what I'm looking for, and I too am a guitarist looking to turn my Mac into a simple 4 track recorder.. After all the headaches, I sometimes wunder if maybe the old Fostex and Tascam cassettes were really that bad... Then I remember that I can't bring up a good website on the 4 track, and I know why I go through all the troubles....
Best of luck to you and your project.. and what ever you do, post your findings, especially if you find a killer software archive or something us old farts could use. Take care now ! ...... Tom |
