I've been recording on a Yamaha MD 4 ( minidisk ) for the last 5 years and am finally looking to invest in some recording software for a Dell PC with windows XP and a soundblaster soundcard.
I'm looking to commit some home recordings to a good standard
of production (own guitar based songs with synth support and vocals, theatre soundscapes and possibly some dance) within a budget that doesn't require me to sell all my instruments! Sound familiar? Anyway, I'm wondering what people recommend? There's such a black hole of products out there!
So far, the Cakewalk Home studio 04 XL looks a good bet for the price. I see alot of Sonar users on the forum and wonder at the step up. The Yamaha MD 4 has midi and RCA line outputs will I need another interface? If so what would anyone recommend for this? What are the drum options like on the XL?
The other route is a little pricier but I have a some trusted friends who swear by cubase and studio seems the one closest to my budget. Is it worth the extra to pay?
Thanks to anyone who replys.
