[G4] Midi & Mac

[Shaene]

Paul,

Slightly off-topic, but should you get MIDI to work, and, BTW, the 
instruction Rick gave is the route I took, you should take a look at 
GarageBand, especially if you're just starting out with MIDI -- there 
are lots of very nice features to help get you get the feel of making 
music on your Mac, but you won't feel overwhelmed.  GarageBand may have 
some processor and power issues, but it's great to play around with, 
especially for someone new to the scene.  With a Quicksilver, you 
should be good to go.  Just don't keep your projects in your home 
directory if you have FileVault on.  If you want to talk about music on 
a Mac, email me.


Good luck,
Shaene
