Hey Everyone,
I'm the proud new owner of a PowerBook G4 1.5Ghz and 1.25gigs of RAM. I really need advice on the best setup to acheive my music recording goals. I'm looking for the best hardware reccomendations to connect my Alesis Qs8 Keyboard to my laptop. I will also be recording my vocals--and would sometimes like to record both at the same time. I've looked into getting an M-box--but I know because of latency issues and software compatablility issues that some don't like it. Any Advice? I am also looking for software that helps facilitate composing and not just multi-track recording. The composing would entail synth string/piano/orchestral instruments etc. My best friend has tons of current OSX audio software--so I'm not too concerned about the price of the software.... What is the best hardware that combines audio/midi inputs and outputs? (I'm looking to spend between about $500 for the hardware.) Thank you so much in Advance!!! Jon
