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

QUOTE (flobiej @ Jun 27 2002, 08:15) 1. Why choose a Mac instead of a PC? Mac or PC, it will be the same... But the userbase (ie. support) is greater on the mac side. Also on Windows, you'll have to be more vigilant concerning disk formating (hfs versus fat32). QUOTE 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 You'll need an audio card or an audio interface. If you want to use pro-tools with more than 8 tracks (like the free version), you'll need pro-tools LE (with m-box or audiomedia III hardware). If you just want pro-tools and can afford it, go with a mix system, or even a HD system, if you want to record with a 192kHz sample rate :-) You definitely need an external drive (scsi or fast firewire). Expand your thoughts if you need more advices. Bye. |
