Several years ago I decided to try recording with my computer...I bought the (then) current PowerTracks (midi/multitrack recorder software) and Band-In-A-Box (both made by the same company). I also bought version 7 of Cakewalk Home Studio. I had a very low-end system (tiny speakers etc.), which did not help to inspire me. I got tied up with issues involving my non-general-midi keyboard's communication with the software...To get to the point: I just got frustrated and gave up on computer recording (and stayed with my cassette 4-track)...I now have a current computer with some decent speakers and (hopefully) a much better sound card (I think it is Soundblaster Live 5.1). I also have a fairly modern musical keyboard. I am ready to try doing multitrack recording with a computer again, finally my question:
Does anybody here use and like Powertracks Pro for computer multitrack recording...it seems to a great bang for the buck.
I have also looked at Cakewalk (XL I believe)...I like the additional FX software that includes a compressor (which I think is on the basic Powertracks Pro already)
I have also leaned toward Cakewalk's Guitar Tracks 3 because it claimes it is easy and intuitive to use (though it does not include midi and I would have to buy the compresser add-on seperatly)
Thanks for any comments
