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. |

G4's are great - pick up iLife-- that will have Garageband on the disk, and it's pretty inexpensive. I pretty much anymore use Live 4.0 -- it updates to Live 5 in July -- for everything anymore. It is by far and away the most awesome audio software on the market today, and perhaps a bit under rated. You can sequence, sound design, as well as record in MIDI and AUDIO sources. It also allows a huge amount of flexibility with editing, plug in, and mastering and now renders at 32bits -- as opposed to just 16 or 24.
And, if you have Reason, it is rewireable as master or slave. ((and no, I don't even work for Ableton )) Good luck !! |
