I currently am, and have been, a PC user. I am making the switch to Mac this week. I am ordering a 14" iBook G4 (933 MHz, 40 Gig HDD, etc...)
I currently have a pretty basic setup involving a digital 8-track recorder that I record onto and then connect to my PC for mastering (SoundForge). I am thinking of downloading ProTools free to start off with, after I buy either the iMic or the Mobile Pre. Will ProTools FREE work with OS X? Would Garage Band be a good idea? Will I be able to use the USB interface (probably the Griffin iMic...) easily with ProTools or any other software? Does anybody have any other reccomendations besides ProTools? As a fallback option, If I wanted to do mastering on the Mac as I did with soundforge, what is a good freeware or inexpensive mastering program I should use? P.S., I am not a newbie when it comes to music and recording, so if there are any suggestions of good programs that aren't necessarily meant for beginners, That is fine. Thanks in advance, Alex |

Well then for that matter...,
Yeah/nay, should I be able to purchase a Digi 002, load DP 4, and, as MOTU advertises, use DP as my "front end"?
