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? |

I recommend the MACKIE SPIKE. It has the best Pre-Amps going (Better than the M-Box in my opinion) and it also has a free sequencer called Traktion.
Ultimately, LogicPro 7 is the best 'bundle' for the moment as it comes with a HUGE array of plug-ins. All the keyboards you need to get started and all the effects you will ever need (Up to a point). Get the two together if you can afford it and you can't go wrong. Now all you need is a great microphone....... -------------------- ________________--==:: Watch The Skies ::==--________________
