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. |

J_Ivans if your just starting out I would suggest getting the Digidesign M-Box instead of the Digi 01. It has what you need including the software (Pro Tools LE) and two very good sounding focusrite pre amps. As for software go for Logic 6 because it will be able to run alongside the Pro Tools nicely. As for sounds and samples consider getting into software sampling maybe the EXS24....or the mack daddy of them all..the Kontakt sampler...either one will intergrate seamlessly with Logic. Then for synths you can choose from an abundance of soft-synths available. Mind you these are merely cost effective suggestions and are based on a virtual style set up within your G5. Last but not least you should consider a midi controller keyboard...I would suggest the Oxygen line.
