Hello everyone,
I bought a PowerBook G4 this week to (finally) replace an old Dell laptop from '98. I got it for school, and also to get started in the world of digital recording. I am absolutely new to Mac and am having trouble getting started. My equipment consists of: Guitars, amps, mics (all stuff I understand :) Edirol UA-20 interface thing Roland G-10 MIDI guitar system PowerBook G4 w/ Garage Band Recording audio seems pretty straight forward to me, but MIDI is giving me some difficulty. The UA-20's accompanying cd has drivers for OMS and Free MIDI platforms, but I'm not sure which (if either) is used in the Mac OSX operating system. Right now I can't get Garage Band to recognize the MIDI device plug and play style (yeah, I'm lazy). I've been browsing these forums for a little while, but am completely lost on the acronyms, techie terms, etc. I would be most appreciative if someone could point me in the direction of some good beginner tutorials. Something that explains the basic way to set up what I have so I can start playing around. Thanks a lot. |

no need for oms and free midi in osx. this os has its own midi configuration tools. check the "audio midi sep-up" in your application folder (utilities) and follow the indications you'll find there.
good luck. eric@theloofok.net |
