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. |

Thanks much for your answers. As a long time computer programmer I KNOW how a certain specialty has its own jargon and how people in their fields sometimes don't even realize they are using terms outsiders don't really 'get'... I've tried to always be patient and re-explain things to people....
I guess I'm begging for mercy --- I'm still a little confused about some terms or usages. Midi controller - I assume that my Casio keyboard can serve as one but want to make sure. audio mixer - I would like to be clear how they prevent latency. Doesn't whatever they 'mix' still have to get into the computer and bounce around in there just like an 'unmixed' microphone sound? Is it just that they might use USB vs the line-in port or something like that? sound fonts - a new one on me. I was assuming the sounds in the Casio were ok for starters. I'm vagely aware that there is some kind of Quicktime internal sounds now. That somehow the MIDI keyboard can be mapped to these computer software sounds. I assume you then hear them via the computer's speakers? I'm not up to the point of worrying if the mic or the mixer is that good - it will sound better then i do without it (smile). Just so long as it works ok. I'll be exploring the software forums etc - thats for the suggestion. Read enough jargon and it might make sence in context - Thanks - landlox |
