I've done some recording with Audacity and Garage band 1, but now I'm ready to move up a notch. I record only classical guitar. I just purchased a matched pair of Rode NT5s and upped the memory on my G4 iMac (OS 10.2.8) to 768K. My mic pre amp is an M-audio mobile pre. I'd like to record true two track and do mastering. Any way I look at it I have to buy some stuff, but I'm having trouble deciding what.

I could buy an MBox and delve into Pro Tools, but I'm scared of the learning curve.

I could buy Tracktion, but that requires OS 10.3 and I'm not sure it has any mastering functions. I could also buy a Spike. It includes Tracktion, but I don't know if it would be that much better than my mobile pre.

I could buy the new iLife and use Garageband 2. Again, mastering? Requires OS update.

What have I left out? What options do you all think would work best? I like intuitive solutions better than more powerful, but dificult to use options. Ultimately, I just want to be able to put out nice guitar recordings.

Thanks!

Mike

Will you expand on why you feel the presonus might sound better? The Lexicon has respectable dbx Silver preamps.

I also like the fact that it is $100 less.
