Hello all.
I am new both to Mac Music and making music on a Mac (or any other PC). I have absolutely no idea as to how audio setups work, MIDI interfaces, preamps etc. I once naively believed I could just plug my guitar into my computer; that gives you an idea of the level of ineptitude I display. BUT, I am willing to learn so, any plain English explanations of how best to go about recording my voice, my guitar and keyboards (yet to be bought but willing to spend some cash) would be much appreciated. I must make it clear that I fully intend to buy Logic Express 6... other than that, I am a little lost. I do not intend to spend more than £350 after having bought Logic... Many thanks in advance for your time. |

Ok. Things are starting to make a little more sense. I have a Powerbook G4 (1.25 gb and pretty damn quick) running OSX 10.35 with 512 mb SDRAM which I am hoping will be more than adequate just for starting out. Other than that, I have nothing but my guitar and voice! In terms of microphones, is it worth getting two for stereo sound or is that comlicating the issue? With regards to the keyboards etc, I had envsaged getting keyboards capable of simulating other instruments as well like organs and more modern dance sounds. The music itself will be fairly straightforward (voice, guitar, drum loops (are they built in to Logic) bass and keyboard details) but I do want the ability to make more 'intelligent' detailed music with a more modern feel as I progress... Can I ask what you imply by a MIDI 'controller'? Is that not a keyboard? And is an audio interface the same as an external soundcard?
