Hey guys, I used to post here a lot but work has finally caught up with me and my spare time has really taken a beating. To make a long story shorter . . . . I was hanging out with some friends when somebody starting playing a cd he had made using cool edit pro (varisity edition). I was immediately hooked and I want to know more.
I have 1,000 bucks (hopefully I won't have to spend it all). I've been recording at home for years. (Mainly on 8 tracks and 4 tracks etc. . . ) and I'm ready to actually have a studio. My band plays loud crazy death metal stuff and I need to be able to record all of that stuff. It's pretty simple and I don't use a lot of effects or anything crazy. I would also like to try my hand at doing some drum and bass or trance style music. I was never really into the club scene, but; I really love some of that music.
Would cool edit and acid make a good combination for doing some techno stuff? I'd like to be able to play tracks backwards and do some other really weird stuff . . . I'd also like to have drum samples ready to go (or easy to program).
If I wanted to record my intruments and not use samples what would I need to buy? (I'm assuming some sort of interface or something).
Is there anyway that I can put something nice together for $1,000 bucks. Keeping in mind the only things I have that I can use are mics, intruments, cables, and a mixing board (I'm pretty sure I can get a used computer monitor for cheap as well). Other than that I will need everything from the computer on up.
If the Cool Edit / Acid pro isn't the best way to go, somebody please set me straight. I want to spend no more than 500 total on the computer (it doesn't have to come with a monitor). The computer I have now is a piece of junk and I really don't know if I can fix it up. . . . . Does anybody know if I could find a computer without all the stuff I don't need? I want to have the recording computer just be for recording and this computer to just be used for surfing.
I know I'm probally asking a lot out of a thousand dollars, but; I've done some (in my opinion) pretty impressive stuff with a tascam porta studio. So I have a feeling that I can make whatever I get work.
Any help would be greatly appericated.
