I have some basic questions for any Pro Tools user.
First of all, I'm a songwriter in Nashville and I'm curious about upgrading to a protools setup. 1. Why choose a Mac instead of a PC? 2. Besides the Protools software, can someone list what all I need? I can't seem to find any complete information on what to buy. And some general price estimates would be great. I'm interested in the HD recording and not simply recording it to the computer's drive I probably sound like an idiot, thats because im pretty new to this. Anyone that could help and be a reference or a guide would be greatly appreciated -------------------- Jesse

Logic is the program I have chosen over all others. Damann converted me to it back in 1996 and I've never looked back. As a guitarist/songwriter/programmer, Logic has been the most stable program I have found. I used Cubase for 6 years before that on an Atari, and when I went to Cubase on the Mac, it was full of glitches (major sync problems, amongst others) but hey, that was 6 years ago. Logic has the best 3rd party driver support, some of the best virtual instruments, and along with VST support, just about every kind of sonic manipulation you can imagine is easily attained!
I recommend Platinum 5x. Though I dont run it on OSX yet, because I have too much to lose migrating from OS9 (tons of plugs, software, etc). If you have to get Cubase, I recommend Nuendo (sounds better than Cubase SX, I've heard) but NOT on a Mac, unfortunately...on a...ugh..PC. -------------------- Nobody can take from you what you give freely.
