Hi Rick,
A couple of quick questions, as the responses will make a difference:
1) what power G4, and will it be running Tiger (by PCI, do you mean Yikes)?
2) are you aiming for strictly software based, or do you have some resources
for hardware additions?
Best regards,
Dana

Ok, I expect to use an agp G4 like a Digital Audio or a Quicksilver, probably
800 mhz or better and yes it will be running Tiger. I've worked with some
multitrack software like ProTools and Final Cut (which is certainly a multitrack
audio program), but I'm not sure what hardware is reasonably priced to bring in
four or more tracks of live audio simultaneously.
In terms of hardware, I'll need something to bring in a live recording using
several mics. I know there are pci solutions, firewire solutions and maybe usb
hardware too, though for many tracks, I guess usb 2 would be called for. I'd
expect 16 bit sound, with a sampling rate of 42 or 48 khz.
I'm open to advice on software too. I'm interested in having middle school kids
work with this system so it should be fairly transparent and even attractive to
look at, if possible. Affordable, too, if possible.
Thanks Dana, I look forward to your insight.
Rich
