Hello all.
I am new both to Mac Music and making music on a Mac (or any other PC). I have absolutely no idea as to how audio setups work, MIDI interfaces, preamps etc. I once naively believed I could just plug my guitar into my computer; that gives you an idea of the level of ineptitude I display. BUT, I am willing to learn so, any plain English explanations of how best to go about recording my voice, my guitar and keyboards (yet to be bought but willing to spend some cash) would be much appreciated. I must make it clear that I fully intend to buy Logic Express 6... other than that, I am a little lost. I do not intend to spend more than £350 after having bought Logic... Many thanks in advance for your time. |

Once again, thanks for the help. i am now considering all these options before going out and blowing my hard earned ding. I am veering towards an M-Audio Firwire Audiophile Soundcard, a small Behringer Mixer (it's only £60) and then I'm still a bit dodgy on the choice of midi controller... I have been recommended an M-Audio Radium 49 with a £430 Roland Sound module. But, as this works out quite pricey, I have been looking for a more workable option: a) I just stick with the inbuilt sound module in Logic for the moment until I get the hang of things and need more versatility or b) something like a Korg Microkorg Synth... although I'm not sure this does the same job. Either way, things are becoming clearer and thank you for you replies and advice. I'm just looking forward to making music now.
