Hey melical. I moved this to item discussion.

With your excellent tunes, there will be many more Garry. Congrats!

Toss up a link when you finish it. I’d love to see it.

I try to turn to virtual instruments when it’s too expensive to get a real one. Virtual pianos sound amazing now and same with keyboard instruments like electric pianos and organs. I record all my guitars and bass anymore. I’m not a drummer and always turn to technology to aid me there. Like you said eroservin the rule is there is no rule. I am using virtual amps with my real guitars though. It’s more of a loudness factor than anything else. Recording a tune in the living room at 2 in the morning with an amp will get my but kicked!

It’s really cool when you look at your page and there’s a paw under your avatar. Great feeling. Here’s to many more!

I held my tongue on this one. I’m not a Mac fanboy by any stretch, but I can say for sure that if you’re used to a platform and you have the quirks laid out before hand you should stick with it. That comes with a big BUT …

If you want to make the switch and your friend is willing to let you take it for a test drive and you’re not depending on this for your main income…. Give it a shot. A 2006 MacBook is fairly old, and if you get the newest version of Cubase it might not run so well. The hardware is not comprable. It’s just plain complicated. You’re not comparing new to new here, as is the case in many situations where PC is compared to Mac. A 400 dollar Dell is not going to touch a $999 MacBook(not pro), let alone a MacBook pro.

As far as starting over again… Well, maybe it’s more like exchanging a command key for a CTRL key… Closing a window doesn’t close the app on Mac like it does windows. Once you’re in an app it’s pretty much the same. If you have the luxury of trying it out you owe it to yourself to see if you like it better. If it’s free. Do it. You will love Mac OS X (pronounced Oh Ess-ten). I have no agenda except to see that you try everything out and see what’s best for you.

Happy Producing.

Welcome Studiobeta. Keep up the good work! You’e off to a fine start.

That will work. One thing to do when it starts to bog down: freeze your tracks. Also if you’re recording instruments you’ll need an interface.

The photodune approach is a good example. Buy the loop, or buy the loop with an intro/ending or buy them all. I like that.

In that case just change the title.
