Music software for Mac Classic?
Posted by: BlastoiseBlue on 2012-06-23 11:26:54
I was just wondering are there any decent, easy to use music composers that will run on a Mac Classic without and add-ons? And if not, what's the best/most easily available? Thanks in advance! : D

Alright, I went last time for Cubase but the downloads need to be fixed because they're old Megaupload links. And these don't require any kind of hardware add-ons?

Piracy + this forum = no.

Cubase Lite came on my mac, and I love it! I've also got the disks for it.

A whiile back, I transfered my 800K Cubase disks to 1.4MB images-PM your email address and I'll send them if you like.

As for the hardware-all you'll need (but you probably need this for any composition software) is a MIDI interface box and a MIDI keyboard (make sure it's got built in sounds if you want to hear your music).

MIDI keyboard? Where would someone come across these things? XD

MIDI keyboards are used for inputting note data into your mac. They are easily available, new and used, from music stores and eBay, and can be whatever price you want.

Of course, the more you pay, the better the sounds you'll get.

Oooh, keyboard as-in the instrument kind! I thought you were saying there were typing keyboards with sound capabilities. That would have sent my "holy-crap-that's-quirky" meter over the top. XD
