hardware for garage band?

In my personal opinion, if you want to start using hardware for making your tracks I'd purchase a copy of Logic before buying hardware for Garage Band. It all depends on what you're wanting to do with it I guess but if you want to be making music seriously, invest in a copy of Logic Express or Pro.

I hope that helps?
 
I thought Garageband was made buy the same people and kind of the "light" version.

Wouldnt that mean id work for both?

Thanks
 
It is and it isn't... It's a tough one really. The way I see it, GarageBand is there for beginners who want to give making music a try before having to spend money on anything. Then there's Logic Express which is a cut-down version of Logic Pro for people that want it take it a step further than GarageBand.

In my opinion, if you're wanting to buy hardware for GarageBand, you're ready to start using Logic Express and start experimenting a bit with differnt things. I'd say that's probably your best move if you want to take it a step further.
 
No problem buddy. What is it exactly you want to do, if you don't mind me asking? Maybe I can help you a bit more if I know what you want to do :)
 
In any case, a decent microphone and speakers would be a good thing to get, and the firepod is good for multi-track recording..
 
Id like to start some light recording and editing.

Dont of a ton of experience but have toyed with A/V equipement for awhile now. Mostly fairly entry level recording stuff, except for back in HS when the paid a fortune for the A/V gear.

I think Im going to get a nice Multi-track recorder from Alesis http://www.alesis.com/products/hd24/

I have experience controlling but none really with recording. Trying to think of how I can do this, being used to hardware but still taking all the advantages of software.
 
Garageband might not be so bad to start off with, but make sure whatever you buy is compatible with Logic.

The iControl is nice, but keep in mind, it doesn't add any functionality to GarageBand, just provides a real-world interface.
