I want to get a software to start recording music, both virtual music and live, direct input (guitars, voices, even drums sometimes). I find Garageband pretty weak. Is it Pro Tools rather than Logic that I need ? Or something else?
(Please do not baffle me with talk of MIDI etc.) I presume I also need to buy a soundcard (which will go in one of the empty PCI slots). If so, which one? Does the fact that I am going to buy that Formac Studio TVR (or CANOPUS ADVC 110) to convert vhs to digital make any difference to anything? |

What do you mean by virtual music? Software synthesizers?
From your other requirements I would guess that the 450$ Digidesign Mbox would be your best option. You get a soundcard with 2 inputs and 2 outputs and Pro Tools software. It is running off the usb-port, not one of the pci-slots. Since it only has 2 inputs it is not ideal to record drums through, if you're picky: That would require maybe 8 or something inputs (and 8 or something good mics). But you could always use a mixer to get a good stereo recording of your drums. In the fabled music industry Pro Tools is standard when it comes to recording, and it is a good soft to work in. People heavily into software synths (which cannot really be separated from midi; I got the fealing midi is not your cup of tea), often claim that Pro Tools is lacking and that Logic is king. Be aware that Pro Tools only runs on Digidesign soundcards, and selected M-Audio ones. Pro Tools won't even run on your computers built-in soundcard. WHat kind of computer do you have?
