Hi all,
Bear with me on this. I’m a vintage apple macintosh hobbist but also nostalgic for all things late 80s early 90s. Long story short I’d always wanted a studio even though i have no musical talent what-so-ever and the time has come I’d like to combine my fascination with 90s studio equipment and my vintage macintosh hobby.
I’ve managed to find an old midi adapter to fit my late 80s Apple macintosh and had been considering purchasing a Roland, Yamaha or Korg sound module, a midi keyboard, possibly some other sequencer, beat box type electronics and linking them all together with some vintage software and having a play basically.
1.) i really don’t know anything about this or any of the sound modules I mentioned or how they work so any advise or suggestions would be great.
2.) will any midi keyboard work or should i match say (example: a korg NS5R sound module with a korg keyboard or doesn’t it really matter)?
3.) any advice on the best novice vintage software to use, i hear Trax or Cubase possibly. I was hoping someone may have used a macintosh in a small studio back in the late 80s early 90s and have suggestions.
4.) finally keyboard size.
Ultimately I’m only planning on spending a few hundred pounds on ebay gear to give it go and attempt to make a track.
Now i maybe talking rubbish and you suggest something else completely which is fine I really don’t know much if any on this stuff hence the shout out on the forum for ideas and advice on my nerdy endeavours.
Thanks in advance.
Neal
