I have some basic questions for any Pro Tools user.
First of all, I'm a songwriter in Nashville and I'm curious about upgrading to a protools setup. 1. Why choose a Mac instead of a PC? 2. Besides the Protools software, can someone list what all I need? I can't seem to find any complete information on what to buy. And some general price estimates would be great. I'm interested in the HD recording and not simply recording it to the computer's drive I probably sound like an idiot, thats because im pretty new to this. Anyone that could help and be a reference or a guide would be greatly appreciated -------------------- Jesse

Ahhh...latency... I'm glad I have a mixer to avoid it...
Meanwhile, are you aware that there is a feature in PT called 'Low latency monitor'?... It has some drawbacks (disable all plugs inserted on the recorded track, disable display of the track in the Master fader) but will surely reduce latency to almost nothing. Give it a try (it's in the Operation menu). -------------------- |
