Howdy everyone. I have been looking for a Mac that I can afford to do some music (and maybe home movies) with a MIDI keyboard and get started with creating a DAW.
My uncle has a very old dual G4 450 mhz that I could buy from him and start using in my home. Is there still software out there that I could use for a long while, is this Mac powerful enough for my recording needs, or is this way too old to really be worth my time? He says it has mac OS X9 currently as the OS. IS that a problem? Where would I start looking to find the software I need to get started with this older machine? Any other tips welcome/appreciated. Thanks for your time. Razor |

Razor,
There are lots of options, but if you get a good deal on the G4 and want to keep things simple, you might try Pro Tools Free ( http://www.macmusic.org/software/view.php/lang/en/id/17/ ) which will run in OS 9, works great, and is absolutely free. If you don't use too many plug-ins you should be OK. I ran Pro Tools LE on my 800mHz single processor G4 in OS X for several years without problems. Ron |
