Greetings,

Sorry if I'm posting this in the wrong section.

I've always been opposed to using a computer for recording because it seems like cheating (i.e. pitch correction, and automatic harmonies, etc). But I'm tired of using a Yamaha AW16G and staring at the little tiny LCD screen. I'd like to start using digital recording software and buy a dedicated computer for recording. I want to be able to record about 16 tracks of audio, no more than a few tracks at a time, and I want to be able to adjust EQ and dynamics (noise suppression and compression) for each track. Effects would be a plus, but aren't essential.

The trouble is... Trying to learn about what is needed in terms of software and computers is an absolute mess. There seem to be a gazillion types of software, hardware, and plug-ins. Where the hell do I begin?
 
wow,

Computer usage isnt cheating. You dont have to use pitch correction or whatever. Just use the tools. ie .compression,eq. all of which are non destructive and reversable is used in the box. If you want 16 track and only 2 recorded at a time I would go get an Mbox. It comes with protools le, the interface with 2 mic pre's, and 32 tracks total I believe. Get an older one for 200 bucks. It would be your cheapiest way out and learning protools wont hurt you.
