Hey there! Cheers from a fellow music enthusiast!
Congrats on starting your guitar journey—that's super exciting! 🎸 For recording on an older iMac, there are still great options that don’t require heavy system resources. Here are a few you can try:
- Audacity (Free) - A simple, lightweight, and beginner-friendly option. Great for recording and basic editing, and it works well on older machines.
- Reaper (Free trial, $60 license) - A more advanced Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) but super efficient and customizable. It’s light on resources and perfect for recording and mixing as you grow your skills.
- Ardour (Free/Donation-based) - An open-source DAW that works great for recording and audio production. It’s a good alternative if you want something a bit more powerful than Audacity.
Since you’re using the Zoom G6 as an interface, it should integrate with any of these easily. Just make sure you’ve got the drivers installed (if needed) and tweak the input/output settings in your chosen software.
Keep rocking, and big cheers to you in Chile! 🇨🇱 Let us know how your recordings turn out! 🎶
