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 |

Hi There !
At the present time, My 5500 is 64 megs shy of max, but the chips are on order. I'm running OS-8.1 and considering 8.6.. I won't be takeing it to OS-9 because of all the problems I have read about with that OS on older equipment.. I looked into the free version of Pro Tools, but I have yet to try it. I'll give it a shot soon, and post my findings. One program I know worked on other systems such as these was Cakewalk's Metro 4, but since Cakewalk sold off the Metro line, finding old versions is getting harder every day. My experience in digital music is 99% PC based.. I use Acid Pro 4, Cubase SX, CoolEdit Pro, Cakewalk Express 8 ( simple is GOOD ) , and an old copy of Cubasis AV ( My Favorite ).. Having something like any of these programs that would work on the 5500+ ( 250Mhz with all the toys.. video board / tv/fm board .. it's the PLUS system.. sorry for not pointing that out before..) would be awesome! Man, I didn't want to turn this thread into my quest.. sorry about that.. but it is cool that this is being addressed. Thanks ! |
