ahhh..man now i want a mac...it sounds great...but i invested alot of money into my pc ...cant do much about it but the pc version of garage band is mixcraft (in my eyes) it works GREAT

And the guitar rig thing..
i load, like, me playing guitar and i select a preset i like and i cant save the file with the preset on it to sound like the preset when i save it If that made any sense to you .... if it does you deserve a medal haha cause thats the only way i can explain it...and its not a technical problem sooo its not that

1st, don't worry, there is absolutely no difference in quality between a Mac and PC recording.

2nd. Guitar Rig is a plugin, your software records what you played on your guitar and then applies the plugin to that sound. You have to write/print a .wav of that track with FX applied. I don't do that though, as I like to reamp and tweak the sound as I mix.

Ahh... i see....i just got the thing.....sorry to sound greedy, im more desperate than greedy...you dont by any chance know how to get the plugin in mixcraft do ya? If not i fully understand

ya its not a quality thing. i mean i'd vote logic over mixcraft but a capable software like protools would reap excellent quality.

and about guitar rig. ya i didn't realize they were separate plugins. In logic the plugins are integrated into the rack and when you save things they save as projects so everything stays together.

its just another thing lost in translation between DAW's OS's

haha mixcraft is the easiest recording ive seen yet....and guitar rig is quoted "Easiest plug in software" or whatever .... and its difficult....way to go native instruments!

should i plug everything (line6 pod, spds, and axiom) into the tascam then plug the tascam into the interface, interface to comp via usb/firewire?

what is the sorting order

should i get an interface with midi ports so i can just plug the spds and axiom straight into that?
or should it all go through the tascam?

my sound card in my comp has digital audio plugs, should i use those?


and how the crap do i get my spds to work with traktor3 or reason4?
it wont recognize it and theres no option to load files to it.

I'm assuming Guitar Rig can be used as a VST plugin, like Amplitude (what I use)

There should be some .dll files somewhere in your computer if you chose to install it as a VST plugin, a lot of the time, the default path for these files is literally C:/VSTplugins/. Just make sure MixCraft (if it can utilize VST plugins) is looking in the right directory to find your plugins.
