I'll keep this as short as possible.
I'm about to buy one of the new 15" Powerbook 1.25Ghz specifically for my music. I plan on using it for the following things: 1. Studio environment with ability to record drums, bass, guitars, samples, and vocals. 2. Live sampler for a post-rock band 3. Electronic music production (techno and trance) So, my question is...what software should I truly get? I'm planning right now on getting Ableton Live, Logic 6 Platinum, and Reason. I also plan on getting the MOTU 828 or 828mkII. But if I buy all three of those software packages, will I have some software that basically does all the same stuff? Is Reason designed to do the same stuff that Logic does? And if so, which do you recommend. Thanks in advance for any responses! -------------------- Powerbook 15" 1Ghz 768MB :: MOTU 828 ::
Logic Platinum 6 :: Propellerhead Reason 2.5 :: Ableton Live 3.0.1 :: Peak 4 :: Midiman Oxygen8 :: M-Audio BX-5 Monitors :: Firewire drive |

hi nate d,
I have all three software packages (Logic Platinum 6, Reason 2.5 and Live 2.11). Logic is obviously the most powerful of the three and you could get by without the other two if you had to. Reason and Live both add extra features and offer a different approach to working. What is also great is that you can have all three pieces of software synced together via rewire so that you can have them playing together in time and controlled from any transport bar in each piece of software. If you can afford it buy all three, also look at buying some software synths: Absynth, FM7, Reaktor, Moog Modular V, V-Station, Cube, Tera, Trilogy Stylus, Atmosphere, EXS24, ES2, X-Phraze...... to name a few contenders. |
