Hi all --
I guess this has been discussed many times but I needed quick purchasing advice. I recently switched to a Mac PowerBook Pro and need a recording software to record and mix a small jazz band.
What would you recommend?
1) ProTools M-Powered ($249, would support my M-Audio interface)
2) Ableton Live ($299 as upgrade from a Lite version I have)
3) Logic Express ($299)
I need a lot of plugins, so ProTools seems attractive as it comes with tons of plugins in a bundle, and is actually the cheapest of all software I narrowed it down to.
Ableton Live is very intuitive, which I like a lot, but it doesn't come with any plugins (compressors, reverb, etc).
Logic Express seems a bit like a toy, but I used the full version of Logic 5 for a few years a loved it. Can't afford and don't need the full version right now.
Cheers!
