All this information has been extremely helpful as I am trying to set up something as well. My particular challenge is this: I have a Roland Vs 880 that I used for awhile in the dark ages and I want to figure out whether I should scrap it or somehow integrate it into something new. How to integrate it is also a key issue.
Any advice would be much appreciated. |

DannyMac, you can record your own stuff as well. I record vocals, electric guitar, bass and use the softsynth that comes with GB. I use an FW410 and it's fine for my needs (and probably overkill).
I also use the samples, which are surprisingly good (though I reckon maybe about 20% are really useful). The best thing about the samples is that they're in Apple Loops format, which means they're not tied to a particular tempo. You can have the same loop going at 60bpm or 250. Aurios, I don't know much about MIDI and suchlike, but I would think you can use the synth Line Out as the source for a Line In on your interface. |

But I'll need a Synthie- instead of Midi- Keyboard to get good sounds for an electronical tip (if you want to play complete own melodys), won't I? Thought that Midi- Keyboards just control the Loops/ Samples you're using. |

Thought that Midi- Keyboards just control the Loops/ Samples you're using. There are built-in software instruments in Garageband, and even more in Logic Express and even more in Logic Pro. In Logic there are really wonderful analogue modelling synths, like ES-1 and ES-2, not forgetting the wonderful EXS24mkII sampler. I see you're going for GB,you can read more about GB's software instruments here. |
