I recently bought a G5 powermac and I am looking for an audio recording program in the range of $300 that can offer surround sound mixing, unlimited or a large amount of tracks, at least 24 bit and preferably something higher than 44100 sampling rates, a good amount of effects, and general useablity. I would also like to be able to do video synchronization. I have looked at a program called Deck 3.5 by a company named BIAS but I do not completely like the layout of the program, so I was wondering if anyone else knew of anything they could refer me to. Basically I am looking for a high quality low cost recording program, original I know.

I have made music for a living for my rntire life.
I started doing sessions and playing in bands. When I first began, it was an all tape world. I can remember paying $7000 for ProTools 1.0 including the computer. I have several PT systems now. I use an LE system on a Powerbook when I travel and use PTHD3 in my studio. I also have Nuendo, Logic Pro, Reason, Live and tons of plug ins as well as lots of outboard analog gear. I'm only telling you this so that you'll consider this. Digidesign is not the nicest or the most innovative company. I have had several beefs with them (especially about using other brands of converters). That said, if you plan on working on projects that involve a large community of musicians, you will be better served by getting Pro Tools. You will be able to share files, sessions etc. with a larger pool of people. If you are a keyboard player and plan on primarily doing your own music, then you could make a choice for Logic or DP or Cubase. All of them are great creative tools. I use Logic and the other programs mentioned when I score for TV or film but it always ends up in Pro Tools for the final mix. I also think that Pro Tools is the easiest to learn. I hope I haven't put you off with all of this blather but I can remember wishing for forums like this when I had to make tough choices. Best of luck, chap |
