Morning all from sunny Margate, Kent, UK. I’ve been making music with Macs since mid 90s (Spectrum and Amiga before my Mac journey). I bought the holy trinity of Rebirth first, then reason and recycle and still have my original big box software with everything intact.

I have a G4 Mac mini 1.33ghz running the MacOS9lives OS 9.2.2 which is running great.

I’ll be installing all the software over Christmas and getting back into it all. I have an old M Audio keyboard with a built in soundcard I think I’ll use.

I will document the journey in this thread in case anyone is doing similar . Maybe it’ll help in some way.

I expect I’ll be installing Logic 4.8.1 (using that patcher I remember that says “Excellent!” From Bill & Ted when it’s launched  :D ).

I’ve just ordered a DVI-I to VGA adapter as I can’t find mine anywhere so hopefully should be up and running fairly soon. Speak soon RetroMacAudioNutters!
