What Pro Tools *****?
I'm about to buy all of this stuff - Tell me what is good or bad - SHOPPING CART PIC
Howdy all! Great forums, I should have joined here years ago!
I have been recording for some time using Cakewalk Pro Audio 9 and my old Athlon 800 through a Sound Blaster Live! Card. It's a crude setup but it has served its purpose over the past few years. I have been reluctant to seek out a new setup since I have gotten pretty decent at recording with it.
Anyway, it's time to move on. I have a Powermac G4 733 and a Macbook Pro. I'm looking to move my recording from my old PC to one of these machines. I am a guitarist and mostly record little alt-rock songs with my setup with my singer. I play the guitars, bass, and use live drum loops and my singer, well, sings. I record one track at a time.
So, I am looking for a good firewire solution that sounds great (I've got some killer vintage tube amps, guitars, etc.) and is as easy to use as Cakewalk Pro 9 that I have gotten so used to. I love plug-ins and would love a setup that supports them nicely and cheaply. I don't do anything with MIDI but would love to soon. It's mostly live guitars, bass, and vocals.
So, I am looking at the Firepod, Mbox 2 Pro, or the Alesis or Phonic 16 track Firewire mixers. Which one is the best solution? Anyone have any experience with any of these? I'm hoping that I can buy one of these and use the bundled software and not purchase anything else for awhile.
Thanks in advance!
