Members pogo97 Posted December 9, 2006 Members Share Posted December 9, 2006 I'm hoping to see my new black MacBook early next week; I needed to upgrade so I could run windows for FileMaker development (part of my job). At the same time, it hasn't escaped my notice that this machine has some serious music potential. So now I'll have two computers in hand: Mr. Fancy Pants MacBook and good old PowerBook G4 400. The G4 is barely fast enough to run GarageBand but works fine for B4 which is what I use almost exclusively in public. It completely fails to run Pianoteq or any advanced music tools (which I can't afford right now anyway). Should I set up the G4 as a kids and mobile music computer? Should I sell it and put the money toward Pianoteq? What should I do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members syncretism Posted December 9, 2006 Members Share Posted December 9, 2006 Pogo, Use it for everything but music creation. Throw it in the kitchen, dial into the MP3 stream at http://resonancefm.com and let it run. Loverly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sealed Posted December 10, 2006 Members Share Posted December 10, 2006 I use OPCODE VISION PPC for my main Mac G4. It's a freeware sequencer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members pogo97 Posted December 11, 2006 Author Members Share Posted December 11, 2006 I'll look into those. As it happens, a kids computer would live right by the stereo, so resonancefm may be very nice (along with iTunes of course). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
