Hello to everybody on the forum at first. I'm very glad that I found this site.
I'm currently working as a Dj and want to set up a private recording studio for myself to produce mainly electronical music (UK Garage/ 2 Step, House, Downbeat...a little bit of Bhangra). I haven't had any experiences with a mac but definalely want to get one for producing because I've heard from many sides that mac's the only choice for proper media- quality. So what do I exactely need for a good private studio? - Mac (which one?) Is the 1,8 GH enough? - Logic? Or is Garageband enough? - Do I need something else? Like Keyboard, Mixer, Interfaces... I would be very thankful if someone could help me because I've currently no idea because there are so many opportunities if you're getting started. Cheers Dan |

DannyMac, you can record your own stuff as well. I record vocals, electric guitar, bass and use the softsynth that comes with GB. I use an FW410 and it's fine for my needs (and probably overkill).
I also use the samples, which are surprisingly good (though I reckon maybe about 20% are really useful). The best thing about the samples is that they're in Apple Loops format, which means they're not tied to a particular tempo. You can have the same loop going at 60bpm or 250. Aurios, I don't know much about MIDI and suchlike, but I would think you can use the synth Line Out as the source for a Line In on your interface. |
