I have Cool Edit Pro 2.0 and have been using it on occasion with Sonar for editing audio. I like the per track eq, which my sonar 2.2 does not have. How is everyone using their Cool Edit/ Audition?

A better computer tweaked for audio recording. The 128 limit is the ceiling..and everyone wants to shoot for the sky, right? So why not offer it? Get a current setup and you'll be suprised at the increase in track count. Man, if only i had any $$ leftover to upgrade my PIII.

Kristal all the way for a freebie! Besides PT free version only runs on 98 and ME. If you can spend a little extra cash, try n-track studio. It's very affordable and best bang for your buck.

Unless you plan on taking your Pro tools LE tracks to a professional studio, or you want to shell out $10 ger or more on a high end pro tools system, there really is no advantage to using pro tools over other recording appz in a home recording environment. It's really just a matter of...

I'd stay away from the Mbox. Read the digidesign user forum and you'll see what people really have to say about them. With that kinda dough, you can get a better soundcard, mic pre, and software by doing a little more research here on homerecording bbs. I'd check out adobe audition...

Your PIII should get you started, but I agree on updating the ram to 512. I have a PIII 933 w/ 512 ram and I can record up to 14-15 tracks of audio at 24 bit w/out plugins before it starts crapping out.

Thanks for the info Harvey! Your insight is always invaluable. I'm a newbie on the threads but a constant hack at this home recording venture. I'll see what Roger has to say. Thanks again.

Anyone know how to get the vocal sound of old Byrds tunes (Bells of Rhymey, Eight Miles High, Chestnut Mare). I know they double up quite a bit, but any panning, compression, reverb techniques will be much appreciated. Also I'm limited to Cool Edit Pro 2.0, Sonar 2.2, and Cubase VST plugins...

10 tracks seems excessive, but it all depends on the style, song, and his playing ability. If he's overdubbing the same part then it really helps to be consistent. I've had luck tracking 4 distorted guitar parts,an acoustic, and clean electric panned to give a nice thick sound. Let your...

Well put Ronan! All tweak and no play makes me a dull boy, eh! I'll have to break out the old tascam again to see what I can come up with. It's a nice tool to have.

There is no "sure-fire" way of writing great melodies. I'd say with all of this information everyone has posted, you should try any or all of it to see if it works for you. Knowing your instrument of choice very well and always striving to improve your knowledge of theory and playing never...

Capos baby!

I'm not saying the Pod's tone compares to the real thing. It's just more practical for my situation. It's nice to have something smaller and quieter late at night with a household of kids. A marshall, fender, vox would be great to have, but the pod just gives me a variety of those simulated...

I'd go with the Pod. Your wife and kids will appreciate it. Plus you get a lot more variety in tone.

I agree w/ the tele, but be careful to try out each one in the various price ranges. I had an american standard tele for about 10 years and a friend had the mexican countertop. There's no comparison! I could bang the hell outa mine and it would almost always stay in tune. But his, forgetta...

Sure. You can even get a freebie here: http://www.spinaudio.com/downloads.php?download_type=3&download_id=33

Fruityloops isn't bad for the money, but it has a lot of other stuff you may or may not use (synths and samplers). To get started, I would buy a few drum loop cd's from places like Beta Monkey Music. It's quicker and easier that way. Once you get to the point of wanting to control individual...

Nope, just announcing baseball games in the Chicago area. Or so i've heard.

Battery by Native Instruments has always worked for me. I use that with an akai mpd16 for laying down beats. But if you want to program beats on a 16step grid and could make use of some synths and samplers, then fruity loops or propellerhead reason are nice.
