[QUOTE="darkmelody, post: 950150, member: 40578"] Your ebay link is not responding, but anyway, a G5 should have plenty of juice to run GB. You really NEED an audio interface [url=http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2508]Mac 101: Audio Attachments[/url] That article will give you an overview, a guitar should plug straight into it (providing it's an electric guitar of course). Also, if you are going to record vocals you want the best possible microphone you can afford. If you are going to be recording mainly in a controlled environment, get a condenser mic like a rode NT2A otherwise a Shure Sm 58 is pretty much the stock standard dynamic vocal mic. I think an SM58 is around 200 though you can probably get one for less on ebay, any condenser mic worth owning will bee around 750 minimum. The other tip is to trawl sites like [url=http://homerecording.com/]HomeRecording.com[/url] there is a heap of tutorials and stuff on there. (sorry I am kind of assuming you are new to the whole recording thing, apologies if you are not) but you want to learn as much as you can about EQ, compression to make your music sound good. Capturing as good a signal as possible is important, but post production is just as important. Hope it's helpful. [/QUOTE]
