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

I don't know how this would work with an iMic. Some recording software packages allow you to route your input to the output, but the problem with this is that you might have a latency problem (i.e. delay) which makes this process useless.
I get around this problem by using my mixer to monitor what I am recording as well as monitor what is already recorded on the Mac. Specifically I am using an old 4 track portastudio as a mixer. My mic goes into one track of the mixer and the output from my mac goes into another track. So that I don't re-record what comes from the mac and I monitor in mono and pan one track to stereo left and the other to stereo right. This method poses a problem, however, if one wishes to record a stereo instrument. Another way of doing this which is better if your mixer allows it is to use the auxiliary out of your mixer to monitor. This is more complicated to explain and if it is of interest let me know. -------------------- Abbie
