Hi there
We were given an old iMac G3 for free recently so I added some RAM, upgraded it to Panther and gave it to my 12 year old son to mess around on. He's got a keyboard which he likes to record his own tunes on - until recently onto our shared Windows PC.
He's now found that he can record his keyboard as a soundtrack to an empty iMovie project (!) but I have to think there's a better / more appropriate way of doing this. Garageband won't install on a G3 so I've been struggling to find the right thing for him.
Any suggestions? I'd ideally like something free (obviously) but if I should be looking for an old version of a pro package on eBay, for example, I'd happily spend a bit to get him going.
I know the obvious answer to this is a new machine, but finances are very tight at the moment and I also want to just see what he can do before we start spending proper money.
Many thanks in advance
