I've read the many discussions in this forum, but didn't find my exact situation. I'm trying to choose software for live multi-track recording using a MOTU firewire interface. I have a 1.2GB iBook w 1GB ram, 10.3.9.
I doubt I'll ever go near midi. Just want to location record multi-tracks, then mix them down. Pro Tools file compatibility a must. CPU usage light enough to allow for recording 24 tracks of 24/96 at once on my iBook. Seems like it comes down to Digital Performer vs Logic. Opinions, thoughts, tirades? Thanks |

DP and Logic are both excellent. Audio editing functions are a little more Pro-Toolsish in DP. I'd go with whichever program someone else you know has already. It never hurts to be compatable with your neighbors.
Onr more thought: You probably don't need to spend the extra $500 on Logid for all the softsynths you won't be using... I don't think either program gan do 24 at 96k on a laptop, though. But don't quote me. One cheap last idea - Tracktion is a little underfeatured for the studio, but it might just work for you live. You'd just have to drag the WAV files into a Protools session. |
