Seq. To Record Analog Hard, What to chose for trance... Options

[CatloveX]

Hi all,

I'am building a studio to produce trance and I need a sequencer. I am on mac.

The fact is that I want to use analog hardware gear; I have an andromeda that I will use as a controller/synth and I now I will buy some other analog hard for bass and effects, if I find something that convinces me and my pocket.

As I am using a Powerbook I thought of Logic for the perfect integration but this one seems an integrated studio with all the VA synths and drum machine, and I wonder if I need all these features as I already will have my hard gear.

Digi 002 PT LE seems another option as I am going to record audio, and the interface seems a bit less complicated and white clear (vs. brown/dark in Logic); I won't have much time to study my soft and I don't want to lose my creativity with a mouse and midi.

Get DP, not so many plugs, cover the basic for recording, audio core rivals Logic quality I imagine and still have access to midi features if needed?

Please, what would be your advice?

Thanks.

Hi, thanks for your reply. I will surely look at this program. I need a Pc to try the demo as there is only one demo for this platform.

Have a look at that :
Doepfer MAQ16/3 MIDI Analog Sequencer :

I don't know how to use this thing but I am curious to know how good this could replace a digital seq. What would be your thoughts about that?

For the audio card my choices, as you can see, are not yet done but I think Motu 828 MkII is a very nice interface for the money, 96Khz is enough, even though I am thinking of getting something as a Kurzweil KSP8 that could make converters + effects + compressor in one.

In your post you seem to be more and more soft orientated...
