Hello All,
I am looking for a setup for my powerbook g4. I write alot for different instruments and i would like a setup that would allow me to use a midi controller to record using all different sounds(from drums and bass to orchestras and everything in between). and then for me to burn a cd. My question is what would i need to set this up. I'm looking for something simple so that when inspiration strikes, i can turn it all on, and start recording.
thank you!

Reason Question

Hello Everyone!!!
I recently tried out a demo of Reason and i loved it!!! My question is how do i record with it. Do i hook up a midi controller and then record the sounds into cubase or logic? also would there be any latency in the recording process? are there any orchestra sounds in the software? i'm running a powerbook g4 400mhz. Thank you very much, any help would be much appreciated!
