Hi,
I'm in the final stage of my 'research' on hardware and software for my first DAW, and I had some questions regarding sequencing software.
Because I'd like to initially spend most of my money on hardware, I'm considering going with a cheaper sequencer, such as N-Track when I first build my DAW. However, I have decided that the Producer's Edition of Sonar is what I would like to eventually invest in.
Here are my questions relative to this:
1. If I follow this plan (buying N-Track initially, and later buy Sonar) and want to re-mix/overdub in Sonar the .WAV files originally created in N-Track, will I have any problems?
2. And on a more general level, is there any reason that importing .WAV files into different sequencing programs is difficult? (I think I saw mention somewhere the other day of a more kind of generic way of saving .WAV files for this very purpose, but I could be wrong).
3. Finally, what about cross-platform transport for .WAV files? My cousin in the U.K. has a Mac (but he's a really nice guy -
) and he plans to get the latest affordable Apple sequencer offering (GuitarBand, I think). I am a confirmed PC user. Will we be able to easily share .WAV files and work on projects and tracks created in each others' software programs?
Thanks for the help,
