That's a good point, Havoc - thanks for bringing that up. ...and thanks to the rest of you who replied as well. I appreciate the info! John

I'm totally green here, and don't have any experience with any sequencers, on ANY platform. My brief search has uncovered ardour and Rosegarden (in the Linux realm), but I'm here to learn... John

[Pick what software you what to use FIRST, then go with the OS that supports it...] This makes sense provided your hardware is sufficient to run that software. My concern is that my hardware may not be up to the task of running Windows sequencers and such, and that it may be better suited for...

Hey Thanks guys for the info. I do have an SM57 already, and after some web research I was planning on checking out the Studio Projects B1, and now I'll check out the C01 as well. No one mentioned the digital multi-track option, but since I posted this last week, I've ordered a Fostex MR-8...

I'm a guitar player who has been away from it for about 10 years. I'm now getting back into it, and much has changed around technology and recording since the mid-90's. I've been working hard at improving my vocal skills, and have been working with a vocal coach. Now I'm at the point where...
