Hello to all,

I got one little question. Will i be able to produce music (electronic techno/house) with the following system:


PowerPC 350 MHZ with LOGIC Audio Platinum 4.7.3 installed
256 MB RAM
MAC OS 9.1
Pro Tools 5.0
4 GB extern harddisk
4 GB intern harddisk
CD burner

I also have a korg electribe EM-1 which i want to connect via midi with the mac..... what do i need for that?

I am sorry for my newbie questions, but i have no clue....


Thank you very much for every answer! smile.gif

Well a 9600 means you're stuck with Mac OS 9.1, maybe not even 9.2.x

You will be able to midi at least - probaly quite komplex stuff as long as you dont
do a lot of tweaking on the modulator & pitch-wheels.
( equals a lot of continous midi controller data & may choke your bandwith )

Also a 9600 means NO usb-port, so usb midi-interface is out unless you invest in a pci2usb-card.
(the original Apple ADB-bus is much slower than the usb-bus)

I dont know offhand if any such exists that will work with your 9600.
( if you are still willing to consider an oldtime adb-bus serial midi-interface I have an Opcode Studio 3 I can sell you cool.gif with lots of options )

As for audio I really dont know how much you'll be able to do on it.

All things considered I think you should invest in a more modern & powerful Mac at least a G4. Especially IF, you think you're going to do more audio than midi.

You would automatically get both usb & firewire ports so your options for interfaces & other external gear will be much broader.
