Cubase, Macs And Broadcast Quality Recordings, Most affordable for Broadcast Quality Options

[csoste]

Hi,
I'm new to this site. Last month I received a wonderful description of how Pro Tools could give me commercially viable broadcast quality recordings, which was very helpful. But, since Pro Tools and its accessories are quite expensive, I was wondering if there was a more affordable alternative that can allow me to record and release the same type of broadcast quality recordings thatt Pro Tools supposedly can. To be clear, when I say that I'm looking to make broadcast quality recrodings what I mean by that are recordings of songs that can be put on an album, played on the radio or the internet, and used in film and tv placements. In fact, being a singer/songwriter my ultimate goal with the next recording program that I purchase, is to make a professional sounding, well-recorded album.
A friend of mine in New York was using Q Base and I was wondering if someone could answer some questions about it for me. First, is Q Base compatable with Macs? Secondly, can one make broadcast quality recordings that can be released on an album, or submitted for film, and TV placements with Q Base? Thirdly, if that is possible what are the best mixers. mics, and other accessories to use with it? Fourthly, if one can make broadcast quality recordings with it, is there a web site that can tell me more about Q Base? Finally, if Q Base is not capable of making the Broadcast Quality recordings that I'm seeking to is there another affordable program(One that costs only a few hundred dollars.) that can make the kind of recordings that I'm seeking to? And that is compatable with Macs?
If someone out there could answer these questions I would really appreciate it. I'm eager to find a new program with which to do this since every time that I' ve submitted music that I've recorded from the Garageband program I have the answer I always get is that the songs are good, but need to be recorded in a better sounding, more professional way.
Thanks and I hope someone can help me.
All the best,
csoste
