Having to have been away from music/recording/mixing for 3 years has been tough enough but now I want to build my studio back up and I'm not sure what software I should go after. Things change so fast. Believe it or not, up until 2000 I had an Atari 1040 with an old Cubase 2.0 for sequencing. It was running man drum, bass, wave/sound modules and samplers and I sync'd it to a Roland VS880 so I would have 8 tracks of digital recording. Never had a crash/lock up or any lag. It actually worked great for what I was doing. Anyway, had to get rid of everything and bla, bla. I've demo'd FLStudio and it seems to really tap my 733/PIII processor. To make an already long story short, is there such a set up these days where I can do everything I mentioned above on one PC? I would like at least 8 tracks of audio recording with 24+ sequencing tracks and are there enough plug ins etc for drum/bass/wave/sound modules? I'm mostly into techno/dance/hiphop/ but like to ocassionally record my acoustic guitar for some melo/ambient stuff. If I need a faster computer, so be it. What's the killer set up?

Thanks, Daniel
 
I currently have a PIII 850, with 192 MB RAM, running Sonar 2.0 XL on Win98SE. 8 audio tracks + plugins works ok. With more than 8 audio tracks (all with plugins) I have some dropouts.

I have dual boot, where the one I use for Sonar is very clean (no antivirus, no firewall, no nothing), though.

You may find other threads with the 'killer set up' you want, just search for it.

Cheers,
BShark
 
Hey ohtu02, you posted the same question in two different forums?

Like moskus would say: "Cool kids" don't do that!
 
Not Cool

Guess I'm not cool! Thought maybe different people read different forums? Same question can be asked different places for different opinions. Thanks for your input though!

Most forum regulars travel from forum to forum. Answering the same post twice is just annoying... ;)

Or finding out that someone else already answered it in another forum is even more annoying.

Particularly if they answered it better than you. Which never happens to me, but I heard happens to others. ;)

Pfffft! I answer faster and better than you even when we're in the same forum... :D :D :D
 
With a setup like bloodsharks, you should be able to get 24 tracks (including effects on 8 of the tracks and a coilple of effects on the MASTER).
