Hi,
Im new to the world of Mac. Actually I haven't gotten there yet, but Im on my way. Im a musician and I want to start recording some of my bands songs. Im also an applications programmer at a fairly large company, so I know a thing or two about PC's.
But Macs aren't PC's! haha!
Anyways its time for a PC upgrade and I hate vista, so im going OSX. I've read up on Logic and it sounds awesome.
Anyways, my question is, how do you input external Audio into Logic Express? Eventually I would like to input Multitrack live, but at first one input would work.
The "how to" primer gave these options that im interested in.
1. USB
2. firewire
3. PCI card
I would rather use a PCI card because I think for quality if it is worth it, but if its not really that much better then I would rather go USB.
Do you have to buy a seperate board/mixer for inputs?
Is any of this equipment both windows and OSX compatible incase I decied to go back to windows?
Does anyone have any recomendations? After I get the computer and the software, I wont have much money left for a few months.
Thanks!
