I have an m-audio 49 Workstation.
Would that work natively?

But what's more important is that accessibility will keep improving on that product, so buying a license would probably not be a bad idea. The thing is that Protools is made to work with M-Audio interfaces, so you will have to buy one of those. There are some cheap ones around, maybe $200 or even less. The fact is that if you want to record stuff in a decent quality you will probably need something like that anyways. Also, the latest version of Garage Band is much more accessible than any of the previous ones, so if you don't have it you might want to try it out. Depending on what you want to do, you might not need anything else. It is possible that the accessibility improvements that we have seen on Garage Band make it into Logic. We'll have to see what Apple does about this whenever the
