Hey out there,
I'm a musician looking to get an audio recording setup going on a new ibook (500Mhz., 192 MB Ram, 10 gig drive) I just ordered. Eventually I want to add midi as I do play a Kurzweil SP-76 keyboard, but mainly I'm a bass player and need to replace an aging four track for my band. I don't have much money to spend so it looks like I'm going to be stuck with the imic audio I/O. I've read all the posts to this forum and it sounds like protools free won't work with the imic. What other good, cheap, audio recording software do you all reccommend (I'd love a MOTU 828 into Cubase 32, but I just don't have the cash). I have about $250 to spend total. Right now I'm planning on getting a Behringer eurorack Mixer and running that into the imic. Then using Cubasis VST 2.0 to record the actual tracks. The total price for this setup looks to be about $215. Should I be looking at other hardware configurations instead? The mixer is key as I need to get 2 drum mics, 2 vocal mics, guitar, bass, and keyboard in all at once. I'd love to record separate tracks, but it looks like that's not possible in my price range. Any reccommendations would be appreciated. The UA-30 and Egosys inputs don't look like they do any more than the imic, but cost 6 times as much. If I'm wrong about this, please educate me. rtpeyton@ukans.edu |

you could always record with simple sound or another cheap app into the ibook with the imic and then pull the sound tracks into ProTools LE for mixing. I did this some a while back with my bass. Sometimes I would just want to capture a quick riff or idea and would record through the my plaintalk mic. I even took one of the idea tracks and normalized it and applied some distortion and used in a final mix in ProTools. It didn't sound that bad really. Just an idea.
Also, I think M-Audio makes a USB interface for macs that is about $225 and gives you 2 tracks in and 2 tracks out of analog audio and it has midi. This seems to be reasonably priced audio interface that may help you too. -------------------- ----------------------------------------
