Start Me Up Help please Posted by TBenzel (from: 207.230.193.173) on January 30, 2000 at 15:41:09: Please help me figure out what I need to start multi-track audio/MIDI recording with the high school's music stuff. I am a newbie wanting to volunteer with students after school. HERE'S WHAT I WANT TO DO: Get high school student interested in multi-track recording using the school's Macs (8 - 10 tracks bounced down to four or stereo). Final products might include complete songs on music CD's for boombox quality. Songs might have all but one instrument present so the missing instrument player could practice. MIDI pieces (long running blues loops) could be built for students to practice improvising in the any desired key. HERE'S WHAT WE HAVE: iMacs and Power Macs (5400/180 56mb) and possibly a G4. One copy of OPCODE Studio Vision Pro and one copy of Coda Allegro Microphones PA Midi Keyboard One single-line A/D converter with MIDI via serial phone port Fender and other guitar amps with pre amp line outs HERE'S WHAT I FIGURE IS THE MINIMUM TO GET STARTED ON A $1000 BUDGET Darla or Wave 424 Small mixer (Mackie 1202 VLZ pro or Carvin similar) for pre amp inputs and monitoring play/record to PA/stereo CD-RW for archivng MIDI/Wav/StudioPro files and making music CD's ALL HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS What is the minimum recommended hard drive if we keep audio tracks limited to 7-8 for all the editing and bump down to 4 tracks or stereo for archiving and printing. How would 12 MIDI tracks add to this recommendation? What CD software is better than TOAST for archiving and burning music CDs? Should I forget all about my Swissonic Studio posting?
