Hello guys!, here's my studio/home set-up

Hi Kitsch, nice to see you in this thread ... ok @Moriokun here is what i do + other suggestions...

95% of the music software for Macintosh Plus, or 512K or even the 128k model are huge (between 4 MB to 20 MB or more)... so that's mean you can't use these apps by using floppy disks (800k).  So I bought and plugged a Iomega 100 SCSI drive to the external drive port of the Macintosh Plus... then in  one zip (100 MB) disk I installed System 7.2 + the music apps... that's mean you will have lot of space on those 100 MB to save tracks and even copy more music apps from Macintosh Garden or the System 6 heaven website (check the links down into this post). Another way would be to have an external (vintage) SCSI Apple drive, like the 20 or 40 / 80 SC models with system 6 or 7 indeed plus the music apps (external-boot-drive).

The hard part of the process it's about how you make the set-up, install, and make a good BOOT iomega zip disk to work with the Macintosh Plus. In my case I'm a lucky man cause my best friend own about 20 vintage macintosh computer models on his studio... So I approach his expertise configuring, and creating this boot-able zip disks. I'm also learning and buying different hardware stuff to make this process by myself... I would keep you posted about this  ;-).

My advice if you don't want to spend so much money or even just want to do some test before to continue with the Macintosh Plus adventure ;-), you could always visit and order a custom disk from this website: http://rescuemyclassicmac.com/ . Kevin is the name of the website owner, you can order or send an email to him + a blank zip drive disk + the software you want, and this guy will create a boot disk to work with. I really recommend the service of this guy cause I ordered many floppy discs with mythic games like Dark Castle or Apache Strike, Shuffle Puck, about 3 months ago.

You could even send to him a DropBox link with the all apps you want installed in one zip disk.

So at this point please add to your bookmarks these links:

- Music Apps from Macintosh Garden: http://macintoshgarden.org/apps/music-sound  (<---Thanks Domu)
- Music Apps from System 6 heaven: http://www.euronet.nl/users/mvdk/sound.html
- Rescue my Classic Mac: http://rescuemyclassicmac.com/
- My Old Mac: http://www.myoldmac.net/

By the way, please post the old system 6 tracker app name... I would want to test-it

Cheers!

Yes... I'm doing some tests now... I also have and old PowerBook 1400cs with System 7.5 indeed... I'm downloading the PROTOOLS version on macintoshgarden to make some test on that old macintosh laptop.

The apps called "MusIc works" and "Super Studio Sessions" are good and I believe I would be able to make some interesting tunes with these guys combined with my gameboys ;-) . I would also want to use my original midibox from Apple with my keyboard.

Here's a picture:

HAhahaha... Thanks guys! I would keep the GBLIGHT = Original mode ;-)
