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 |

yep... I agree with xingu totally... Reason and Logic together are a awesome combo but when it comes to audio recording... Reason just can't do it... it's not the best for sequencing pre-existing audio either... Logic has some nice featires that make looping and working with samples much easier than Reason but Reason is a sweet sound arsenal
