Hi Folks,

Just a brief note to enquire how many OS X hipsters are out there. - I use an eMac for recording purposes etc. - I do attend a Mac user group once a month. - However, there are no musicians in the group...at this point. - I'm keen to learn more about recording software for OS X and all the other problems associated with the whole process - I'm keen to learn more. - Feel free to respond.

Cheers

............good luck. - Don't slash your wrists yet ! - I've up-graded to G.B.#3...it works a treat. - Some say GB lacks this, that and the other. - Keep in mind...there's a friendly HELP menu to explain the in's and out's...piece of cake.

Adios

Burps,
I gave it a first shot tonight. GB sure is user friendly. No hook up's or mic installed just the monitor. Next the other stuff a little at a time.

I use an iMac 17" that I bought in late 2004. That was before Garage Band came out. The OS is at 10.3.9. I don't record much, but have played around with Audacity. I've been using GuitarPro 5 for some light composition, but haven't been able to get the RSE (Realistic Sound Engine) to work.

For recording, I jus turn on my amp and rely on the built-in mic after twiddling with Audacity's level controls. I tried singing into it once, but it made my voice sound funny!

..........all it's going to take now is a digital/analogue device...some RCA leads, speakers and an amp and you're laughing. - The D/A device cost me $200 AU' a few years back...the rest I picked up at a 2nd hand store for peanuts. - A small investment all considering.
