Because of my situation, ie: Full time job and young family, I just don't get the time to frequent my mate's studio to write and compose my music....... frustrating stuff!!
What, (and remember to write in 'lamen' terms please), do I need at home to successfully write, compose, mix and record my tracks to CD quality??
I recently spoke to someone who suggested 'Yamaha XGWorks', which has everything, as an affordable solution. My PC has the capability to run this sort of software, so would this, along with a quality soundcard and my Korg be enough, or do I need other stuff to accompany it?(mixing desk?? other plug ins???)
I just need decent, affordable sequencing software with sampled sounds plus mixing down capabilities so that I can get my songs to a good recording standard.
ANY SUGGESTIONS ANYONE?
 
Hi Joe
Have a look at n-Track.The demo is free and the full 16 bit version is like $40 US.Has lots of high end features for a very low price,so its a good starting place.

Thanks guys,
I'll certainly have a look at those products.
 
Home Studio 2002 doesn't have a lot of the features of n-Track (VST, VSTi, ASIO, recording from multiple stereo pairs, etc), but n-Track is buggy, yeah. Once you get n-Track running stable, it's pretty good, but if you're not patient, it's not for you!

That's not completely true. HS2002 is just like Sonar in that you can use VST's/VSTi's by getting a VST to DXi wrapper.
 
True, but it's not as easy and it doesn't always work. Plus there is no free VSTi wrapper. Good point though!
