I am looking at upgrading my recording software and want your opinions on what I should get.
I primarily record metal, so I typically use trigger on the drums (other than the over heads of course). The way I want to start recording drums are track the drums with my triggers going into the mixer, then have go through some sort of cutting program to cut all the trigger hits to equal sizes and use drumogog and put the sounds on it. Quanitize it, make sure it's all in the right space, then have the drummer play the cymbals seperately over the trigger sounds.
I recorded this way and it was incredible. It sounded very solid and very clean. Right now i'm using Cubase LE and feel like when I tried recording this way, it didn't work that well... The engineer that recorded us had sonar and he said it works great (i'm not sure what splicing program/vst he used...)
I'm running my mics/ pres out of an Alesis Multimix 16 USB 2.0. I was thinking about getting pro tools but I never personally liked using it on other people's computers. Granted I never used it before and didn't know a lot about it, but when I used ableton, I seemed more comfortable
