My G4/protools/m-audio Situation... Options

Well, fair enough, sounds like it's Pro Tools for you, then.

Id like to comment on the protools thing. Many people need to understand that these software programs are tools, nothng more, nothing less. What I learned a long time ago is that it's not always "This program or that program" but many times it turns out to be "This program for this and that program for that".

For instance, I like Logic Pro 7 for its vast Midi capabilities and production tools. And even though I could mix in Logic and it would sound awsome, I still am more comfortable and feel more efficiant editing the audio and mixing the audio in protools. So i will trigger the midi and record all my outboard synths and things with my motu2408 into logic pro 7, and then bounce the audio over to protools where I use just an Mbox to get to the software, and Mix and Edit there.

Basically I use Logic for midi and recording through a nicer sounding audio interface and protools just for mixing and bouncing. I dont confine myself to this or that

Hi, sorry for disturbing, since I saw you've used the program, i was hoping if you could provide me the protools free installation files. I would be very gratefull.

you are right on target rickenbacker , regarding pro tools. I've been blessed to have submitted music to some industry people, whom were surprised that the work I had done was done with Logic. of, course, it was them that assumed that it was, with pro tools you should also count the cost, for all of the plug-ins that you might want to incorporate, and a lot of them are great and lend to giving you a great sound, however,the cost could be go thru the roof. don't believe the hype, work with what you can afford, and let's you express your musical ideas in a fashion that the listener can appreciate, they, the listener don't know the difference, but they do know what sounds good to them, and, this can be achieved without pro-tools, trust me, come up with good compositions, and not to many people will care what you used to do it. :-)

As Protrools Free is a discontinued product, it isn't forbidden to talk about it.
It's still a freeware aplication that dudges cost. Cause it's FREE
Is there any other competing software, with the same price.....i know the answer, it's no

For now, i think I found the app.(payd a web bux for the transfer:)
midex, got it off ebay, 15 euro (midi interface)
apple g3 (70 euros)
Man....in a few days the system will be running loud

Congratulations, and you are right, you can not top FREE, that's for sure.. not in this economy.
Good luck, and have fun with it.

Great this is of course true work with what one can afford there are a lot of great sounding plugins out there that are free and inexpensive that can get the job done ,lets take a look at psp plugins to me they are some better sounding plugins to get a fat mix and they're very inexpensive not to mention the one that come that come with logic studio , they of course color your music a little but they work great.
i have to admit though protool mixing engine still has very fat sound naturally but i find ways to make logic sound big without any other plugins, just have do your research join forums and share ideas .

Just to note
Use any DAW that you feel comfortable with they all can give great results.
Just get a good mastering and your mix will be as fat as any other.
just give them a sample of what you would like.
