(I first posted this in the newbie section, then it was somehow moved to the studio design section, then someone suggested I re-post it in the keyboard section, here goes . . . .)
I am a newbie (which will become apparent once you read on), and I want to start a computer-based home recording studio. A few years ago, I had been using "MidiSoft Studio," which I felt was decent for my needs (piano midi, sequencing of sounds (waves)). Anyone ever heard of MidiSoft Studio??
Actually, now that I have a bit more cash, I wanted to buy sequencing software, and (gradually) other items to add to the studio. My main goal right now is having something to learn with and play with until my next purchase.
What's the best piece of software for a beginner like me who eventually wants to have a full-blown home recording studio. Preferably, something I can play with, become proficient at, and have fun with, but something that allows me to expand eventually.
Ideally, under $300, but I can spend more if it'll be worth it in the long run.
Cakewalk? Cubase? Emagic (Logic Audio)? I feel like I'm shooting in the dark here.
If I have a computer with a soundblaster and I buy this sequencing software, will I be able to compose?? (understanding that I can purchase microphones, midi equipment, and a drum machine or Acid Pro later?)
Am I way off base here? Help!
