Dear friends,
I have some experience with the Tascam portastudio world, but little else. What I am essentially looking to do is reproduce that kind of home studio fun on the computer (15" imac), with better sound quality and more tracks. But I am lost in the field of terms. I have guitars and an old korg, which is midi capable (but is the kind of midi used in depeche mode's early career). What kinds of things do I need to couple these forms of equipment to my computer. I have heard of a Logic Big Box..If I buy this would I be ready to go? How do you get a mic into a computer? (is this is the realm of the break-out box?) ideally the set up would have singing, guitar, keys and drum loops... If this question is too far sub-par, please advise my as to any websites that can adequate me to the lingo of the digital age...really, it's all i can do to surf the web. best, |

When it comes to setting up a home studiio, there are many things to concider. How much money one is willing to spend, is the question a person must ask first.
Zooey, I don't know much about Logic, but if it has a midi sequencer, and audio recording / sequencer (multitrac audio recording) it will do all that you need. I believe that the iMac your talking about does not have a sound port, so you will need to get a usb audio interface (like an M Audio one) or a firewire audio interface (like the Motu 828). You may want to do some searches of Musicians Friend and find one that meets your monitary level, then get some feedback about the unit, then buy it. Find one that will meet your needs. Look for one that has mic ins (XLR), some audio ins (1/4" bananced, or not) and a midi interface (midi in and midi out) for the Korg. An external USB (or firewire) audio interface and a recording (audio/midi sequencer) program. Lunker. Looks like your heading down the road to disaster with your program choices. JMHO.. Try Metro 6 SE there is a demo available, check it out. -------------------- kaboombahchuck
