Hello, I am new to making music on my mac. I used to use an old Tascam 4 track player back in the year dot.
I have a macbook pro here and logic express and garageband installed on it. I am wanting to start to make my own music, mostly electronic music with great basslines, drums and guitar sounds, keyboard sounds etc. I would lilke to ustilse the keyboard or mouse/software interface for playing these virtual instruments and think I would also like to be able to record some vocals or guitars in in the future. Can I please have some advice on what equipment I would require to start to make layered music with these different instruments on my mac. I feel I need a nice keyboard (possibly portable one?) some great samples and software for drums, organs, guitars etc and the right sound card to get my music laid down as professionally as possible. Many thanks in advance for any information about this. Also I am in the UK so any links to onlline stores to purchase this equipment from might be useful also. Thanks alot for any advice, Al |

airbag,
mortalengines, is one of those 'Whiz Kids' I mentioned in my original text to you. He always seems to give good advice but the stories "Technical Problem" be they Hardware or Software often are not answered, by the 440 Member who requested help. I always follow the stories "Technical Problems" but they just end! I'm like hangin' out wondering "What happened"?? Please 440 Members, "Let us know if your problems have been solved or not. Did the advice help or not? mortalengines, I would like to thank you for your obvious experience in the world of Computer Music and understanding of "What's Happenin' in the world of "Stuff"! I will certainly check out the links you mentioned/suggested to airbag in your text... mortalengines, your text is always understandable. If your music is as good as your advice and experience suggests, I'll bet it is awesome. hanuman, "Happy birthday, happy man!" I don't get it? Is it a code or "in thing"? It's not my birthday if that's what you mean... How are your "Gigs" goin', doin'? airbag, hanuman is a GarageBand 'Whiz Kid". Yes, this text is all over the place... hanuman, mortalengines and airbag... Plus, Mac-Dee, I think there is a rule about using ALL CAPITALS. I'm not playin cop or rule enforcer, believe me I have broken almost as many rules as there are rules, but I think it was lepetitmartien who posted that note? Am I right or wrong lepetitmartien?
