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

Maybe we are straying a bit off the topic, but thanks, jq, for clearing up the Imic mystery for me. Yes, this does sound good, especially if one does not have audio jacks on their computer, but I have been using a mixer into the audio in to get the right levels etc. and it works well since I also use the mixer to monitor what I have already recorded with what I am currently recording, thus bypassing a potential latency problem.
My conclusion from all this would be to get Pro-tools free, have lots of RAM (at least 128M), get an iMic (unless you already own a mixer), and a USB/Midi interface such as a Midisport for sequencing. -------------------- Abbie
