I am totally new to Macs so new I have not bought one yet but want to in the next little while purely for Music.
I have a really good Keyboard Midi Synth, and a proffessional Mixer, PA, and Mics as well as an electric guitar and base. I am a one man band who wants to record on this equipment using a MAC.. I dont expect to be selling my stuff but who knows one day Can people suggest what is a good system to buy ? and what about additional hardware ? I intend to be recoding only 1 audio track at a time so what should I use to interface with my external gear and MIDI . what spec of MAC would you suggest ? and what would you recommend for software and why.. I know it is a big ask but you would be helping a soon to be EX PC user get into some good gear and systems finally where i can hopefully create some good quality Music. Cheers I appreciate your time and input Shane

I would certainly encourage anyone who could to get the latest, fastest Mac possible, but I would say the Metro/MOTU combo should work fine on a G3, and definately a G4 if you want to save money.
Also the M-box with ProTools LE (digidesign) is worth looking into. I find it's audio setup straightforward and flexible, though the MIDI end is serviceable, but a bit clumsy. Also very G4 friendly. These systems will also work fine on a powerbook. And yes, stuff it with RAM |
