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. |

my advice, which i'm sure most will agree is, start with garageband & as much RAM as possible (1 gig would be pretty good)... get a big monitor (19") or 2 smaller ones... and of course, make sure you has OSX 10.3 or 10.4...
from there there are many ways to get the sound into your mac... although i've never used it, i have only heard great things about MOTU... all that would get you ready for pretty good quality recordings, and give you the option to edit... I'd advise you to upgrade to another program (such as Ableton Live as mentioned earlier) once you've 'outgrown' Garageband. |
