Hello to all of you knowledgeable musicians-
I am a college student who doesn't have much money to spend on a personal home recording system. I am a guitarest/singer/songwriter who wants to expand to being able to record more then one track at once. A friend in the music industry suggested the digidesign 002 rack, but unfortunately it's a little out of my price range... I'm hoping to spend under $700, because all the rest of my money is going towards important things such as an education . Does anyone else have any suggestioons on what to purchase? I have a G4 933 w/ 1.25 gigs or ram and all that good stuff... Thanks!! Andrew Barden |

I thought that the Digi 001 was close to 900$ isn't it ?
Anyway You might also consider the mBox for 590$, doesn't deal with Midi but does a pretty good job with a Pro Tools LE under OSX. On the mBox you can record simultanously two tracks. The preamps for the mics are not killers but I use them for acoustic guitar and it does a pretty good job, even better on vocals actually ! Pesji -------------------- |
