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

Teiwaz - Just a point: PT comes free with digi equipment, so you don't buy it.
I have an Mbox, and I wouldn't blame digi if I couldn't make it work with another app than PT (I once tried petrol for my diesel engine). Still, I am interested in the Emagic/Digi cooperation (see News). I've no recent experience with other equipment + their appropriate apps, but I can say my PTLE and little digi box does what I want, and the cost was small compared to the rest of my set up. You aren't credible when you say PT is crap. It's not crap and some great music is made using PT. Perhaps Logic does well the things you need, and PT does well things others need. The instructions that come with the Mbox/PT are amateur, so I do grumble a bit. Well, not much - its so easy for what I need (for the moment). Perhaps you're upset because they made you buy a floppy drive to read the plug-in authorisations. -------------------- Without shit, we wouldn't be here ;)
