Getting The Right Software N Mac Options

[janiesammut]

Hey guys n gals,
I need some help!!

Here's the deal, ma dad WAS going to get me a pc to do the cubasis route BUT now I have been accepted onto a music tech course which uses macs and logic.

As I want to get into music production seriously I guess now is a better time than any to pursuade ma dad to get me a mac rite

I know the spec for a pc using cubasis and was set, but now I don't know what mac to get and whether to invest in pt or logic and then which version of this. so u see my dilemma


+So that's what I ask of you.

*which is better, pt or logic? AND Which version?? (I'm workin on about an 800 budget here for a home thang goin on)

*Second of all what is the spec needed for a mac and which type works best

I have a great midi keyboard/piano, a lil mixer, a dynamic mic and, that's about it.

I am very serious about this, even though I am aware of the extra hardware needed for macs.

Which leads me to my final question.

*What is all the hardware needed and what are the best ones?? (please give me a range if poss where money is not an object i.e sound cards etc)

The type of music I am working on is RnB/Soul and some hip hop aswell as classical and whatever else the course throws at me.

I'll be using the midi keyboard a lot and using a dynamic mic for vocal input (being a singer and all )

So, that is me, thank you for reading

(hope someone replys)


Bless

Jane
