Hi all...new to the forum & I'm kind of new to the whole world of computer recording too, coming from more of a tape & then digital 16 track DAW background...but pretty soon I'm going to have a s/h g4 Powermac ( 450 cpu, 512 ram) to play with.
I'm going to run ProTools Free on it ( can't afford full blown PT just yet) & I have a little audioBuddy pre. I'm also thinking about getting a better soundcard - something like the Audiophile 2496.

So...will this card be compatible with my set-up?

Oh...and my Mac has OS X & Panther installed, but ProTools Free only works on OS9 so I'm pretty sure I'll have to install that & remove OSX...unless it'll run in Classic mode.

Any tips, advice, etc will be gratefully received!!

Thanks..

PT Free isn't compatible with with OSX even in classic mode. That being said- maybe garage band comes bundled with your G4 which I understand is quite a cool little application- If it's not bundled, GB can be purchased for 99 bucks as part of the I-Life package (other cool stuff like I-Picture & I-DVD). I wouldn't recommend going backwards to OS 9 since the Mac World is hurtling ever further away from it. If you go to www.hitsquad.com there are some shareware/freeware apps that might keep you busy until you decide to buy an M Box or whatever.
