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? |

Oh, and there's another product which comes with all included: the presonus firebox. It has got more inputs (but only two with preamps) than the Mbox, and it has got a built-in midi-interface AND comes with software included: Cubase LE.
Hardwarewise it seems to be better than the Mbox, but I personally don't like cubase that much, however competent it might be. Started out using cubase though. Good thing about Cubase is that there are tons of free effect plug-ins and softsynths, unlike Pro Tools. Mind you, I recommend the presonus firebox only on the basis of its specifications, I havn't used it personally. Mind you part 2, every hardware and software has got its drwbacks. It takes a while until you find the combo which suits your taste and way of working. |
