What To Use?

[Alexandrah]

Hey everyone,

I'm a newbie to pro audio recording and would like to create the humble beginnings of a home recording studio. I would like to create music along the lines of PJ Harvey, Queens of the Stone Age and The Doors. What would be my best bet in terms of hardware/software?

I hear so much about Cubase, Logic, Protools, Propellerhead...etc. but I don't know where to start for some eerie blues aggression. I would HUGELY appreciate any help you can offer.

Thanks a bunch,
Alexandrah

The Newbie section would be a better place to post this.

However, If I were just starting, one of the first things I would invest in is a good set of monitors!

No matter how good your other equipment is; if you are stuck with a crappy set of monitors you will have a very hard time trying to get your mixes to translate well. You should do a search to find out more info on monitors.

Thank you! I'll check out monitors soon.
