Hello. i'm new to the forum and to direct music, so i'm sure i will have many other (weird) questions along the way... however, my question now is what kind of system/hook up/rig should i have for direct music to be begining and to possibly do a final project on? (details on processors, OS, etc would be great.... i'm a mac user at the moment and looking at laptops being sold around school...) any information would be great! thanks ya'll! -LN ------------- "Never put off until tomorrow what you can avoid doing altogether."
