You can start a garage band - just hook up a Moog Synthesizer to your computer and you have a complete DAW. It's not complicated.
[image: Inline image 1] [image: Inline image 2] First, we installed the free Audacity software on our computer. Then, we bought a microphone from the Shack. So, we hooked up our Yamaha keyboard with the synth. You can also get yourself an outboard unit like an Mbox or Motu that comes with Pro Tools. Always try to use audiophile-grade components and MIDI and XLR connections which deliver a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of 114dB.

It is developed by Apple Inc. as a part of the iLife software package on OS X. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GarageBand "A digital audio workstation (DAW) is an electronic system designed solely or primarily for recording, editing and playing back digital audio. DAWs were originally tape-less, microprocessor-based systems such as the Synclavier. Modern DAWs are software running on computers with audio interface hardware." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_audio_workstation On Wed, Feb 5, 2014 at 1:05 PM, Pundit Sir <pundits...@gmail.com> wrote: > Get ready for a techno tribal beat stomp! > > [image: Inline image 1] > > This tribal beat stomp with DJ Danny Tenaglia is legendary - a homage to > the original Sound Factory on West 27th St in New York City.
