Emasher Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 Logic/Pro is supposedly the way to go , but lack of funds means I can't confirm this as yet but to start out with you may want to look at Garageband which comes with the mac as part of the iLife package. You can use multiple tracks to record your own instruments (audio interface needed) , software instruments and loops which should cover all your needs across various genres. Also comes with a good selection of built-in FX or you could use your own FX unit (as I do). It will also supposedly integrate well with Logic too should you decide you wish to trade up. i belive apple makes addons for garageband for proffesionals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePigMarcher Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 i belive apple makes addons for garageband for proffesionals The majority of those add-ons are in the form of Jam Packs which are just extra Apple Loops to use , nothing against them as they are quite versatile but sometimes you just want that bit more. Garageband can give very good/excellent results for what it is and for the price you can't really get anything better (unless someone knows different , then please let me know).

Ashley Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 Hmm getting used to this Mac (well the Mac as I'm currently using my PC) is gonna take a while. Any easier way to right click other than putting two fingers on the trackpad and clicking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holding ctrl will help with that problem (click ctrl makes tha arrow change into an arrow with a contextual icon in the right bottom corner). or you could use your windows-mouse.

I got the external wireless mouse because i find it more natural than the track-pad, also its needed for games IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll enjoy it, take it the 360 is down for christmas time or something? lol I love my wireless mighty mouse, i was concerned at first that the scroll wheel may suck or break, but occasionally it does stick, you just turn it upside down and rub it with a cloth or my jeans, and its sound again ^_^ Loves it!

Multiple fingers will rub that screen untill it's down and dirty! P.S.: didn't see your timing, man, I came back an hour later and your post was just after mine repeating what I said. No offense.

Yes, touch sensitive screen but also of an external mouse, probs a load of tosh, i'd be more excited about macbooks incorporating touch.

Though i obviously wouldn't be getting one for a loooooong long long while. June 11th is coming up... maybe Jobs is up to the Job! (God, if I got a nickel every bloody time...) And we all know how Steve loves consistence in all macs. "One mac to go intel? Hell, no - give them all a good working, will ya?" - "One computer to go that new glossy white we discovered while playing with 'my new chemistry set' ("personal time, guys, it was an accident"), no, no - get them all fancy ('I call it Glossy!') white!"... And now... 'One device to feature a screen that can see how many finger are playing my new por... I mean, Safari... thing... game - no, no, no - let's rub all of our devices and make sure they are sensitive enough to read fingerprints so we could have a deal with the FBI ('that'll get them off my back for that backdating fraude I did a while ago!') to get every mac user's fingerprint!" (An FBI spokesperson told us: "The offer made by Apple, inc. has been denied since the amount of users is not enough to support our database. We are, however, in a strange occurence of events, receiving twenty XRaid's from Apple, inc. to make this 'bioprint' system possible. Enough is enough, Jobs - stop the Bribes!")
