[349] I'm a nerd today, too. (^_^) - 2007/05/12 (Sat)

Always, I'm worried about whether or not to buy something,
but I went out and bought the thing anyway.

With Pro Tools, it's of course mainly recording,
so I wanted software that can do input with.

Being surrounded by musicians, a lot of them use Logic pro for input,
but there's not even a version for the long-awaited Mac Book Pro. (^_^)

But, really, the Intel Macs are amazing.
Mac G5 can use Pro Tools,
but on the Mac Book Pro, it crashes to the desktop.
2 years ago, the G5 was the flagship model, too...

For now, people who are starting up home recording stuff
should be fine with Digi 003 on a Mac Book Pro, I think.
Well, there are even people who use it professionally.
Inputting instruments, vocals, rhythm tracks,
mixing, you can do everything in one place.
If you're a keyboardist, though, Logic pro.

I bought Logic pro,
and I'll be learning all sorts of new things starting today...
I'll be a shut-in for a while. (^_^)

Most people think home recording is pretty simple (^_^)
but if you use a Mac, there's nothing like GarageBand.
You can make amazing tunes with just that. Plus it's simple.
People who don't want to grope around should check it out. It's fun.

Well then, everyone, have a good weekend~

P.S. Hrm~ How effective is this Billy thing, anyway...?
It seems a little tempting. (^_^)


[hello again: today's box is LogicPro 7.2, which, for those of you keeping track of YOU-kun's finances, is $900 retail. for those of you who read this post and thought, wtf is he on about, Pro Tools is basically software for people who have a hookup between their keyboard or guitar or whatever and their computer. you plug your (usually) keyboard into your PC/Mac and record directly from there. you can record with LogicPro and GarageBand too, but you can also use prerecorded loops of music, arranging them however you'd like to make a song that way, and of course, even adding your own vocals or instrument or whatever to the loops. it's about $1000, but it is hot hot hot. mm? how do i know all this nerdy stuff? didn't you know? Yuu and i are clones? (^_^) no, actually, my father does that kind of stuff. i dabbled with it in my youth, but i turned out not to be terribly good at it. when you're boring yourself with your own compositions, i think that's when you should just quit. ]
