Brought home a 2.0 G5 with 1 gig of ram this week. Now I'm ready for the hardware step, but which direction should I go? I've heard Pro Tools is the standard. My plan is to record vocals and acoustic (maybe a little electric) guitar live and use some sort of device (synth or sampler?) to add drums/ bass. strings etc. The vocals may be just me, but more likely also my singing friends (all together or single track at a time?)
So what should I buy? I've got the funds to get decent stuff, not like unlimited though. MOTU? Pro Tools LE? Other? Advise soon please. |

Hi booinec, hard to say, but I guess your friends are right with protools, because it sounds to me you will do a lot of live-recording.
I prefer emagic with my electric guitar and some voice, but I do a lot of sampling and looping. Anyway lots of fun and try both systems in a musicstore. Maybe it's easier to find out what you want if you tried it. justd. [FONT=Courier][SIZE=1][COLOR=gray]sfxmusic@lycosxxl.de

Thanks, justd,
I like the idea of an input and control surface together. I know the digi 002 is not cheap. What does the MOTU use for an interface? Anything with sliding faders? I realize how much of a newbie my questions reveal me to be. Thanks again, Boo |

I have a similar set-up and think Logic is the way to go. With Apple owning Emagic now, it seems like a natural development path from Pixar to Apple to Emagic. Their hardware is very elegant and of course it's all designed for Macs. Steep learning curve on Logic but it seems worthwile. U.S. tech support was very helpful.
Good Luck |
