Hi everyone. This year I'm the music director of our school's show, A Christmas Carol the musical. Its a rather large band and we don't have the time to get one together so were thinking were gonna do a MIDI system. We are looking for something that we can play along with as the actors sing. So, we'd play what the actors were singing and the rest of the "band" would follow. It is the same train of thought as Orchextra. Here is a link: http://www.mtishows.com/resources.asp?id=6...alresourceid=31 It can be for windows if anyone knows a type of software like this for windows but it is preferably for mac. Thanks everyone!

Hi!

 

Im not sure exactly what you mean but i use garageband on my mac with a lot of midi channels. So if you want to play a midi song its no problem. If you need real audio like microphones, guitars etc. you will need to have a good (professional) sound card.

 

Here is a 4 in/out midi interface to give 64 in/out discrete midi channels:

I think this is the most cheapest advestment if your on a mac. Garageband is REALLY easy to understand and it comes with Ilife: http://www.apple.com/ilife/

 

Good luck and dont hesitate to ask more if you need!
