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 to all for your ovewhemingly rich replies.
Forgive my delay in replying. Events would not allow. I am starting to get the midi thing now. I have no other stuff at the moment. Let us check to see how I am doing with understanding the rest of the advice: I need a software, that much seems clear. Either ProTools or Logic or Cubase. I need a sound card, or some sort of external box (firebox, mbox ) I need a keyboard I need a decent microphone. I also need a preamp and an external mixing desk. |
