Hello I just bought a used mac g4 with nothing else. Can anyone tell me what I need to get started (recording). Do I need some sort of interface and adapter? What is the best product and or the cheapest..... I have a mixing board and lots of instruments.
I am also curious if there is anyone from red deer on this site? Thanks and yes I am very new to this. |

I can recommend the things I use myself.
Motu 828 firewire interface aka soundcard. (8 analog ins/outs + adat sync + spdif in/out etc etc) Check it out at http://www.motu.com/ or alternatively their Traveler box - a bus powered firewire box. The 828 MK-II has one midi in & out I believe (I have the MK-I without midi ins/outs) I also have the MTP-AV usb midi interface with 8 midi ins/outs SMTP time code etc etc. I also have Digital Performer-4.6 an awesome DAW as my tool of choice. If you by the Motu interfaces you'll get AudioDesk for free. Which is like Digital Performer ´WITHOUT any midi capabilities - strictly digital audio. And yes - if you like AudioDesk you can upgrade from AD to DP - thats what I did. In sweden where I live this will set you back about 3.000 us dollars == 22.000:- swedish crowns. (Interfaces + DP ) Cheers: Dixiechicken -------------------- ==================
