Seq. To Record Analog Hard, What to chose for trance... Options

[CatloveX]

Hi all,

I'am building a studio to produce trance and I need a sequencer. I am on mac.

The fact is that I want to use analog hardware gear; I have an andromeda that I will use as a controller/synth and I now I will buy some other analog hard for bass and effects, if I find something that convinces me and my pocket.

As I am using a Powerbook I thought of Logic for the perfect integration but this one seems an integrated studio with all the VA synths and drum machine, and I wonder if I need all these features as I already will have my hard gear.

Digi 002 PT LE seems another option as I am going to record audio, and the interface seems a bit less complicated and white clear (vs. brown/dark in Logic); I won't have much time to study my soft and I don't want to lose my creativity with a mouse and midi.

Get DP, not so many plugs, cover the basic for recording, audio core rivals Logic quality I imagine and still have access to midi features if needed?

Please, what would be your advice?

Thanks.

To coldharbour :

Before buying the Andromeda I listened to Virus demos which is supposed to be much better than any V.A. software and the major hard piece to own in trance nowadays... the sound didn't satisfy me at all, that's why I bought analog.

I don't know how Logic sounds but I doubt that it is better than the so well known Virus. (By the way, how to warm up a soft?)

Plus, the majority of trance artists I saw are much more using Cubase than Logic (not the point though, as many are using PC) and many of the ones I like (Xenomorph, Necton, Noma, Ticon, Etnica, Jaia, Yumade... versus Astral Projection as an example) have a different sound, it is warmer and less digital. I suppose that the gear makes the difference and not the producing skills.

I can't see their gear list anywhere... I mailed once Xenomorph and he only told me that he is using a Moog for the bass.
