I presently own the ibook G3 800Mhz with 640 ram. I am about to buy the korg microkorg which is a mini digital/anologue synth with midi capabilities.
I will eventually be upgrading to either an Imac or a powerbook sometime in the next 8 months. I am mostly interested in making experimental electronica, ambient, future lounge, jazzy beats, drum and bass, trance, ect, ect... I basically want to start with the bare minimum for a desk top computer based music studio. I would like to star out with one software solution for my needs. I would like to buy a software package that can make drums, effects, samples, layers?, and sequencing. Is Reason 2.5 my best bet for getting started. I also want the program to be able to run on my current G3 ibook, and on my next upgrade which will be a G4. I know Trent Reznors made his first NIN album with an anologue keyboard synth, and an old Mac. I want to see what I can do with the most basic set up for electronica type music. Any advice and help is extremely appreciated. Thanks. -Jason |

So if I want to use my minikorg to play live over pre-made tracks, or to just record bass lines over pre-recorded tracks and layers.....reason would not be good for that? Logic's big box would make that much more simpler huh?
But then Logic's bigbox and reason together could be quite a little powerful set up for what I wanna do then right? Also let me get this straight... I can play live with pre-recorded tracks on the bigbox with my minikorg and vocoder, right? And the bigbox can record it all and then I can use it to burn it onto a CD? Also can the bigbox make its own synth leads, bass lines, do layers and make drums? Does it have looping, sampler and effects capabilities? And let me get this straight too: Can I use the minikorg to pre-record bass lines into reason? just not live? or will it jst be stand alone? And can reason be used to burn complete tracks onto a cd? thanks for the previous advice and thanks for any additional help in clearing things up for me. Much appreciated, -Jason |
