whats up,
i have been doing live performances for about two years but it is finally time to step into the realm of computer recording. i just wanted to get some opinions about what to use before i put out all the money.
here is what i have:
sony vaio p4 pc, windows xp
korg triton, roland jx-305, roland sp-808.
"i know, the analog synths are on the way"
ni absynth, fruity loops
ibanez sr 5-string bass, zoom multi-effects pedal
behringer eurorack
here is what i am thinking for the recording setup:
cubase sx
audiotrak maya44 sound card
audiotrak 2i/2o midi interface
questions:
1)cubase sx or cakewalk sonar 2.0 xl? i havn't used either program but i have read great things about both of them. you know what i need: plug ins, effects, live audio recording for the bass, mastering tools, etc.
2)audiotrak soundcard? not a very big company but there is a store where i get good discounts because i am a full-time student. i have also read good reviews about this card.
3)midi interface? the audiotrak is a hardware installed interface. does this mean it has better timing than the usb interfaces? or does it not make too big of a difference and i should go with a midiman usb?
let me know what you think. thanks.
peace,
