I was in a rock band from 1999 to 2003, and 2 of the band members owned multitrack recorders (Boss BR1180) which I got to use a lot. I have also been making a lot of techno music with a Reason on my computer.
I have always wanted to be able to record guitar and bass lines during playback of my Reason tracks.
My computer had gotten way too shitty, so I'm getting a new one delivered soon (3.2 GHz ), and I'm wondering: what else do I need to make it happen?
Here are some probably important features in my computer:
3.2GHz P4
1.5 RAM
ASUS P4C800-E Deluxe
Reason 2.5
Cubase SX
I still need to buy a soundcard, but I want to make sure I'm buying the right stuff considering what I want to do.
A friend of mine bought an M-Audio Audiophile 2496. He said it kicked ass, and that it wasn't too expensive (which is good, since I allowed myself to spend about 300$ max on the soundcard.)
What else would I need? A preamp for the guitars, basses and mics, perhaps?
What would you suggest?
