I'm a cubase guy
dont neccesarily NEED pro tools but im already familiar with it, i've never used any other program to record with. what are some other alternatives? i've heard of ambleton, cubase, garageband. if those are cheaper then i guess i should go that route although im not particularly fond of learning an entirely new program
Yea, you're talking about getting some *really* nice gear for a home studio here - Assuming that mic plays nicely with your voice and whatever else you want to record with it, there's not really an equipment-related weakpoint that would hold you back. Except of course... the monitors (I slipped that post in while you were righting this one, I think).
...what are some other alternatives? i've heard of ambleton, cubase, garageband.
I can appreciate that, it's never nice, but on a budget I'd seriously recommend downloading reaper.
It's free to download and try, and if you like it you pay a small fee. It's like $60.
That frees up a hell of a lot of more money for decent monitors. Spend it where it counts.
I usually suggest Reaper, because I think it's awesome and the developer's a freakin' prodigy of a sound programmer. I wish I had the time to try switching over to it (it's also very inexpensive without technically sacrificing anything that I''m aware of). There's also Sonar, Logic, and Audition (I think a few of these mentioned so far are Mac only, but I'm not sure...garageband for sure, maybe Logic is too).
Yeah, both are true. It's fully capable out of the box but if you want to use 3rd party plugs you can.
Didn't we all go over this issue last month?
