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

uh, looks like I missed an important point here - James, if you don't have a sound card what is it that you are monitoring from you Mac? Are you just using your mac for midi sequencing? Musoman, the sub-mixer sounds like a good idea but I use the aux out of my mixer to monitor to an external amp so that I can record and monitor in stereo. Also, it was mentioned earlier that the iMic records a much better sound. Does it make sense to run my mixer output through an iMic instead of using the audio in port or should I just leave well enough alone?
