i was wondering if theres anyone who could offer some advice,guidance or sanity! Well, here goes, I want a mac for audio music production purposes and to add electronic sound on top. I don't really need to record onto tracks, just to be able to download tracks from a yamaha aw4416 hardisc recorder and have flexibilty with them. I've heard the cheap pro tools is the best for audio, but am i right in thinking i don't need a 'break out box' as i will not be recording to the hardrive? or is this bollox? I was thinking of an G4 imac due to funds would this be ok? Any ideas on any other software would be greatly recieved! As I've never used macs before, is there a quick way to get pre recorded audio onto the hardrive. Does anyone know if its possible to hook up the yamaha aw4416 to a mac!!?? ANY help or advice would be appreciated Thanks in advance

Thanks for the reply. i need real versitility with my audio, and my experiences with cubase don't give me enough ease when trimming, time compressing and looping and the quality was not all that hot.
The main audio I'll be tinkering with is live drums. If I'm wrong please put me right, as i have the dosh to spend but i don't wanna end up with the wrong piece of kit. I've pretty much decided on a G4 imac, it's just the software.

here is something I found on a FAQ page for the Yamaha; I would like to transfer audio data to my computer for editing. What's the procedure for doing this? A: You can use either of the procedures below to transfer data to your computer. -Use the internal CD-RW drive (or external SCSI storage device) to read and write the audio data in WAVE format. -Connect the audio output of the AW4416/AW2816 to the input of the audio card in your computer, and record it into the computer as it plays back from the AW4416/AW2816. The info was found HERE
