Hello!
I've got PTFree, Logic 4.8.1 installed on my imac OS 9.2.2. Concerning MIDI, my DX7 is connected to the imac via the Midiman Uno 1*1 (Midi Interface). I've connected the sound output of the DX7 to the mic input of the imac via an adapter but when I record/play a midi track on any of my sequencers, there's just NO SOUND going out of my imac! Actually, the only possibility to hear this sound is to listen to the DX7 via the headphones or to connect the sound output of the DX7 to my stereo! It seems like I need an audio interface since my imac is not expensive enough to provide me with good staff (the internal speakers are worse than any ones on PCs....let's switch!!!).... Which one would you recommend me? How is the delta 44 from midiman ? Finally, as a beginner , I'm wondering what else should I get before beeing able to RECORD MUSIC?! thanx ! |

Hi,
i think the small Emagic USB Interface (Emi something) would be a good choice for you. Should work perfectly with Logic and also with PT Free. After that, nothing will stop you anymore. Except maybe, the ghost in the machine.  No kidding, a decent audio interface is a must when recording with a computer. You will be able to record and mix masses of DX7 tracks. When you start recording vocals or other live instruments you should consider buying a nice microphone...and maybe a mixing board...a good preamp always improves the sound..etc ad infinitum. After all, saving money for new gear is almost half the fun when you're building your little studio. Never give up Johnny -------------------- The Artist Formerly Known As AxL
