Hi, I am kinda new to what is available in the world of the Mac. I have ordered a new iMac G5 computer with 512MB of RAM and started looking at Garage Band. I wanted to talk to my uncle regarding things having to do with music as he used a Mac to create the songs for all his albums using Digital Performer (not sure of the version). However, I am looking at Garage Band and Logic as possible options, but I am not sure where to start, or what equipment I would need, or how it all works. I used to do music tracking on my old 486 PC in DOS with Impulse Tracker 2.14, and I am wanting to get back into music.

What do I need to know to head in the right direction? What do I need to use? What is the differences between programs like Garage Band, Digital Performer and Logic?

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Enygma.
Your using Panther not Jaguar. That old cat won't even boot on your iMac G5. GarageBand is fun and will give you lots of positve reinforcement but the reality is you are just playing loops someone else recorded. You can add melody to them but it's a very poor way in my opinion to develope any kind of songwriting or composing talent. It seems very uncreative. There is still no short cut to making good music despite what Jobs was hocking at MW. It takes hard work and talent so decide on a sequencer with some plugins and go for it.
