hello everyone, I see there are a few gb users on the forum & having had a mac sat on my desk at home with gb installed & more time on my hands these days I thought it was time to put it to use (running osx 10.7.5, not sure what creature it relates to tho'). After some homework it looks like I will need a usb input interface 1 x line, 1 x mic wil be ample & a simple usb/ midi keyboard (25 keys should be enough for my dodgy digits), bad news is I have a budget of about £150 ish at the moment, my gut feeling is to spend biggest part of the budget on something like the new focusrite scarlet or a tascam unit & try & pick up a s/h m-audio, alexis or akai keyboard, hopefuly somebody has trodden a similar path, my initial aim is simply to record some 4-8 track rehearsal tracks, any info or advice welcomed, mike b.
