I've had so many recommendations that my head is going to explode, and yet I'm still asking for help - [size="4"][/size] begging for help.
I have an Alesis HD24XR and a brand new MacPro Dual Quad, 3TB/16GB RAM. I used to have a Dell, and after fighting this thing (that's why they call 'em workstation) I finally gave up, took out my drives, threw it down the stairs, then went online and bought the Mac. I don't want to invest in cheap bottom of the line stuff, but don't have a lot of cash after buying the Mac I am in need of help finding the right interface (or sound card) and the right software for the Mac. I've been told ProTools is good, but I want to move 24 tracks, so do I need to spend a ton of money The M2...whatever only does two tracks. Help i am lost!! I'm an old school analog guy, wanting to get into the DAW age...

Here's a little more input, and I'm really sorry I forgot about this one the first time I responded: Electronic Musician recently did the article "Building a Personal Studio on Any Budget," and they break down 4 different types of studios (portable digital versus film composing vs. sound design vs.....) and build them out at low and high budgets. Really great roundup.
