OK I'm brand new (both to this forum as well to computer recording). I'm in the market for a new PC and want to record music as well. I have a BOSS 1180CD but I think I want to e-bay it and start with computers. I'll get a PC (not a Mac). I know I'm on the wrong forum for that, but you guys seem knowledgeable and passionate and the platforms are pretty much interchangeable, so let's not go there.
I just got back from Sam Ash and they recommended the M-Box 2. I was skeptical of the USB connection and spent a lot of time trying to determine if it was 1.1 or 2.0. I have no software preference (i.e., I don't know a Pro Tools LE from a Cubase SE). I want to do all the normal things (EQ, compression, delay, etc., and wouldn't mind a bunch of other tricks (pitch correction, etc.). I don't need to record a whole band (but wouldn't that be a nice option?).
Let's assume I spend between $1000 and $1500 on the computer and get a fast enough chip, enough RAM, and two hard drives. What interface should I get, (or does it really depend upon the software that comes bundled)? What's the best value at $500? At $1000? At $1500?
Please help me out here.
