I've done some extensive searching and reading in regards to the best USB interface/software solution and can't seem to figure out the best path.
I have been playing acoustic guitar (primarily rhythm) for 15+ years. I am looking for an interface that will allow me to lay down guitar and vocal tracks -- and then perhaps add other tracks such as percussion. I have absolutely no experience recording so a lot of the info that I've read regarding features and specs goes over my head. Since this is new to me, I prefer to spend only a modest amount of cash. Should I go with an interface such as the Edirol UA-25 or Tascam US122 (or other) and then add free/inexpensive recording software (e.g. Audacity)? If so, which interface and software? Or, should I invest a little more and get a more complete package such as Lexicon Omega, Mackie Spike, MBox, etc? Are f these products more than I will need for my purposes? Thanks in advance for your advice and recommendations. Taco P.S. I will most likely be recording in Windows on a PC. |

Indeed taco
Protools would keep you (like me over the last 4 years) amongst a big loop of people with similar & totally compatible rigs (both windows & mac) I use a control 24 mix+ setup on a G4 & I regularly come & go with my mate's setup which is running 002 on a carillon PC (not all plugins I've found are transferable, mostly I use digirack plugins if I know I'll be computer swapping) & the plus for me is protools is amasingly self explanatory (for someone who hates manuals it's quite good) so yeah as chappy said & for mobility as well the M-audio can't be beat Happy recording Isaac http://www.qpqproductions.com |
