Hello, I cannot find any useful information, so I have decided to ask people who know what they're talking about.
I cannot figure out what the heck I should buy? I have decided to get a mac g5 and logic 6 platinum, but I have no idea how midi works, and what I need. I want to make music that has synth drums, bass, and effects, me actually playing guitar, and me actually singing. No body will help me and I'm very confused. I don't know if logic is the best software, or pro tools, or what? I don't even know if I need to buy a drum machine and a midi interface and hook it all up so I can have the synth drum noises. Can I use Logic 6 platinum to make all my instruments and noises come together, and then record them? I went to protools.com and saw their "basic midi setups" and I found out how much the protools hd stuff costs, altogether it's close to 13,000 us dollars! HELP ME! I just want to make great quality music. I have a lot of great ideas and I need to get them out of my head, but I am so darn frustrated. Please help me out. |

Hi, I am now completely lost.
I cannot sleep. But, I have stumbled acrost a few things: Digi 001: I can plug in a guitar, a mic, and a midi controller(sampler or drum pad etc. right?), and use logic 6 platinum to assign sounds to those drum pads/samplers.(right?)  A) A Digi 001 comes with pro tools 6 software and a pci card. Do these both work with a mac g5? I am also completely new to macintosh, I though pci was a pc (windows) interconnect for expansion boards? Mac has them too? B) Is this a rediculous price? Darn near 1000 us dollars? Will all these wonderful (?) features of the digi 001 work with logic 6 and the free protools software? Do I need something else? Are Digidesign's products cheap pieces of garbage? Thanks in advance. ( I think I will sleep now.) |
