Hi all. I need some serious help in making some music on my Powerbook. Can I use the input in the back (I have a G3 400, 192Mb ram)? I have a USB Midi converter (Steinberg), but don't have a USB audio unit (ie roland UA-3). I was thinking of downloading Pro-Tools Free, is this a good place to start? I just need to make demos, I'm not recording pro CDs (yet). I am totally confused by all the software choices there is out there. Is there anyone out there who works on a G3 Powerbook who can guide me? I'm near Toronto, Canada, and I'm used to recording with MIDI equipment. Audio on the computer is another question. HEEEEELP! Thanks to all........mark

Yo Musoman 88,
I have a PB G3 (400 Pismo). Like you I have a midi set up but i have just finished an album which I mastered on the PB (using Cubase VST). The sound in port is good enough (although spec heads think a pc card or audio interface such as Tascam USB or Pocket VX are better). I've played my master to professional producers and they think it's good quality. I record 'live' into the mac from the midi studio (via the sound in) then mess with the audio. It seems to work fine. I would be very careful if buying a usb audio unit as there are issues with the low bandwidth of usb -Firewire sounds better but costs a lot more ($700!!). Pro tools Free would be a good place to start , or cubase/logic if your already using them will be sufficient. |
