[QUOTE="AnatomyOfARyan, post: 462304, member: 11304"] yes yes, the imac will do nicely. however, a 20 inch imac is quite a bit to pack up and take to church with you. have you considered a macbook? i do recording on both my macbook and imac, both with 1.5 gigs of ram and they perform nicely. a macbook would be a much better mobile recording computer. yes, garageband will work. its free, and its effective. however, you are going to have some serious limitations to just plugging in a board to your computer. it will come in as one track, making it impossible to mix or put any effects on individual instruments. what would i recommend? pro tools. the pro tools m-powered software is great. you are going to need to get an interface as well. if you have alot of soundgear at the church already, and a decent board, im assuming the board has decent preamps and direct outs. i would look into an M-Powered FW1814. it can record 8 tracks simultaneously. this should at least be enough to record different instruments, vocals and a few drum mics into different tracks making it possible to do a bit of mixing later. good luck [/QUOTE]
