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.

Sounds nice! But I'll need a Synthie- instead of Midi- Keyboard to get good sounds for an electronical tip (if you want to play complete own melodys), won't I? Thought that Midi- Keyboards just control the Loops/ Samples you're using.
