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 |

QUOTE (Schmeckitup @ Dec 1 2005, 05:48) 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. Audio editing functions are a little more Pro-Toolsish in DP. WHAT? There is NO comparison to editing audio in PT to DP... In PT you have to make WAY more moves acrossed the screen to do the same thing that DP does easily... DP is WAY more intuitive IMO. -------------------- Take Care,
