What Should Be My Next Steps..., lost Options

[zydriusiti]

Hello all,,

I am graphic designer for 5+ years workinf with mac full time.

Next week powerbook 1 GHZ comes to my hands fullly dedicated to art and music..) therefore i am in some qq about support gear and soft for my the music creation..

So, i need: Usb or firewire sound card... Thereore, the sound card will be dedicated for recording my oldskool russian synths Polyvox, who themselves have really wide and groovy sound,, And U know people, i want to have all these viby sounds on my harddrive Well, i see MAudio Firewire 410 Mobile Recording Interface is coming soon to the world, and i look more and more to the side of it... But i have heard very good reviews about waveterminal U2A from frineds.... I wanna use it in the fields too with mic for some river, cats and animals all over:))) So people, what are Your suggestions...Sould i wait for MAudio Firewire 410 Mobile Recording Interface, or Peak, Deck, Live, Logic, Cubase, Max/Msp.....??. I am totally lost there, but what i know really: i will need a lot of effects... Pluggo, Vst's Hypeprism....and i want to hear everything from my monitors live too??? I am lost there at the moment too...

And the soft. the firsts steps to the music will go like this: 1-2 synths are conntected to my sound card. i do all manipulations with the sound from my synths and want to put on some EFX live, sraight from some app, and with possibility to record everything i do for an hours of the night..) later i will want to cut the places i loved, to make some autechre, coil'ish sounds from them and to organize something i will call song later:)) So boys, what soft should i use there. and yeah, music i hear now, is something like early plastikman, coil vintage series and the similar ones...)

As i do understand, any firewire haddrive is more that reccomended if lap is dedicated to make music ) maybe someone could reccomend any good in these fields too.

What else should i know??

THANKS A LOT IN ADVANCE!!


ALL THE BEST!
