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

More info:
Pro Tools LE comes with the Digidesign's Digi001 interface or the Mbox. Check www.zzounds.com for very competitive prices. The software is very reliable on a Mac. Most folks in Nashville run PT on Macs. You'll need at least a G4 to run it effectively. The Digi001 requires a PCI slot, which means you'd have to buy a regular Mac. The Mbox is USB, and that will work with an iMac. But, I'd recommend at least a 19' monitor and that rules out the iMac in my humble. Yes, you'll need an additional 7200 rpm hard drive...the biggest you can afford. Also, beef up your RAM to at least 500 mB. I recommend a $300 AKG or Audio-Technica condenser mic. Great for vocals or acoustic guitar. |
