I want to get a software to start recording music, both virtual music and live, direct input (guitars, voices, even drums sometimes). I find Garageband pretty weak. Is it Pro Tools rather than Logic that I need ? Or something else?
(Please do not baffle me with talk of MIDI etc.) I presume I also need to buy a soundcard (which will go in one of the empty PCI slots). If so, which one? Does the fact that I am going to buy that Formac Studio TVR (or CANOPUS ADVC 110) to convert vhs to digital make any difference to anything? |

Thanks.
I have a G5 dual 2Ghz with tons of RAM and two large hard disks. I am prepared to lern about MIDI. But at the moment I just do not get it. I understand that what you sing into a mike can be recorded on to the computer through the soundcard. I assumed that Logic has loads of inbuilt virtual sounds and that therefore they can be recorded onto the computer. So whence the MIDI? Is this simply the name of the interface between the external keyboard and the triggering of those inbuilt virutal sounds? |
