Hi

Sorry I'm new to the forum, apologies if this has been asked before but i haven't found many threads.

My daughters are very musical and want to start making music.

I've got an AKAI Professional MPK Mini Play keyboard for Xmas (plus will get a reasonable Mic and monitors)

Not sure what else I need? Please can you advise?

They will be using an old Mac Pro tower with loads of RAM and Storage - do I need to get an audio interface too? Anything else?

Can tell - i am reasonable technical, just want to start on what they need before blowing too much money.
Any advice really appreciated.

A decent interface and a daw. Personally I would go for a Focusrite Scarlet interface and Logic Pro. Apple also offers a free daw, Garageband which is definitely perfect to start with as well. And if your daughters are going to do some recording they will need some headphones as well.
