Hi all. I need some serious help in making some music on my Powerbook. Can I use the input in the back (I have a G3 400, 192Mb ram)? I have a USB Midi converter (Steinberg), but don't have a USB audio unit (ie roland UA-3). I was thinking of downloading Pro-Tools Free, is this a good place to start? I just need to make demos, I'm not recording pro CDs (yet). I am totally confused by all the software choices there is out there. Is there anyone out there who works on a G3 Powerbook who can guide me? I'm near Toronto, Canada, and I'm used to recording with MIDI equipment. Audio on the computer is another question. HEEEEELP! Thanks to all........mark

They are too jacks! 'Synthetic' if you are out there help me on this one - sounds like James is getting tired of my opinion! Speaking of which, it is my opinion that you won't getting anything but beeps (if that) out of your little external speakers unless you already have a sound card in which case the answer is 'yes' - you should be able to record your vocals on your computer and mix it, if you choose, onto another recording device such as a boombox without having to upgrade your sound card.
