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 was not saying that Protools is terrible. I love the application myself. BUT I have heard many people "in the industry" saying that it is THE platform for audio applications. It's not true. Protools doesn't make great songs, that comes from the talented people.
I use Protools for Vocal comps, I use Logic for most other stuff but I would never ever say that one is superior to the other. Anyway the question was about an interface, so all this is superfluous crap anyway. If you want protools compatability then you will have to go for a Mbox, 001 etc If not, then take a look around the web: m-audio, motu, edirol. Look at reviews of equipment in Sound on Sound (sospubs.co.uk), Musicians Friend. But don't whatever you do let someone tell you that without Protools then you will never make anything worth while. Many people forget this fact and it is not good for the industry. Not wishing to start a flame/platform war of any kind. |
