Hello to everybody on the forum at first. I'm very glad that I found this site.
I'm currently working as a Dj and want to set up a private recording studio for myself to produce mainly electronical music (UK Garage/ 2 Step, House, Downbeat...a little bit of Bhangra). I haven't had any experiences with a mac but definalely want to get one for producing because I've heard from many sides that mac's the only choice for proper media- quality. So what do I exactely need for a good private studio? - Mac (which one?) Is the 1,8 GH enough? - Logic? Or is Garageband enough? - Do I need something else? Like Keyboard, Mixer, Interfaces... I would be very thankful if someone could help me because I've currently no idea because there are so many opportunities if you're getting started. Cheers Dan |

Since you get GarageBand 2 free with your new Mac (it's part of iLife 05) why don't you see how you go with that? When you reach its limits, then move up to Logic. The basis of both is the same: apparently the 'engine' - correct me if that's the wrong term - of GB2 and Logic 7 is the same.
Flatten the learning curve as much as possible. I have an M-Audio FW410 which is great: stable and sounds good. I've only had one problem, and that was driver-related. If you follow the best practice of always downloading the latest driver from the company website, I doubt you'll have problems. |
