Hello all - I searched for info on this first, but the search feature omits "LE", so the results were a little scattered.
I've been recording live to DAT with an analog desk for some time, but I'd like to get involved in digital recording for home studio stuff.
Right now I am planning on using my powerBook G4 (1.5Ghz 17" 1 GB RAM, 80 gig HD, 400GB external), and am considering the Firepod for a decent starter interface.
I have just a few minor questions regarding Cubase LE - it is what comes bundled with the Firepod and I haven't used any decent multitrack software before... does the LE version allow 8 simultaneous channels to record? I seem to recall a while ago I tried Cool Edit Lite and it limited recording to 4 tracks, and you couldn't do things like export your final mix.
I just want to make sure I will be able to actually get started with this version of the software if I buy the Firepod. I know there are free (or very cheap) software alternatives for getting started, such as Reaper, but even that only has a beta-released version for Mac, so I figure I might as well just start getting to know one of the bigger programs, in this case I suppose that software being Cubase
