Much appreciated.
I didn't realize how much recording can do to help a person toward improving one's guitar playing. When your just practicing on your own, you normally accept your own limiations and just forge thru regardless of mistakes or less than accurate playing. You just remember the other times when you played that part better, but, when the whole thing get's recorded, there is no way to undo it if it does not sound right.

I really look forward to recording and practicing daily like I should. And it sounds like even I could end up figuring out the drop down menus.
:D

I'm a bit time and financially challenged, but if I can help out in some way, I'll see what I can do. I like the creative process, but I don't go much for steep learning curves. I have the feeling that I may be moving in the not so distant future, which will sorta be like moving twice, so the time crunch is significant. It may be a few weeks out for checking out this program because I'm looking into buying a new PC for DAW, but I will check it out as soon as possible!
 
Had to vote 'other', I use Cubase SX3 and will soon be getting my upgrade to SX4. I've used ProTools too but I actually prefer Cubase SX because of the midi functions okus I have becomes used to the interface. They both pretty much do the same thing once you have good hardware.
 
I'm viewing SawStudio. The new version is looking promising. My teach, who know's the dude who created the whole thing after being let go by Digidesign, showed me the program, and how powerful it is. The only thing is that the colors on there look kind of unprofessional. Kind of like a coloring book with menus lol. Have anyone used it extensively enough to tell me how the program works in real world applications?

I can tell you that if you are using your color and fashion sense to determine the worthiness of an audio tool, you are in for a hell of a bumpy ride

SAW is smart stuff. Like most other native apps, it reached high definition audio years before PT, and allows a wide range of plugin support. More importantly, the users build a lot of their own stuff and you have the support of a small but powerful and friendly community. The GUI for SAW IS a problem for many though, not just because some, as you, feel it is the ugliest thing since Kirk Cameron's banana suckage, but because it is so large and obtrusive as to take years of scrolling around, or hotkeying from universe to universe to get anything done.

At this point in time, all native apps can pretty much do the same things. A year ago that was a TOTALLY different story, but the absolute possibilities gap is being bridged fast. Note this doesnt mean all apps can do everything at the same speed, FAR from it. SAW and REAPER share the distinction of being built by actual audio engineers and that to me, is a HUGE difference in the feel and workings of the apps.

Try the SAW demo, see if you like it. Try the other demos too.
 
I'm currently switching from SX3 to Digital Performer. I'm very new to DP and it seems very confusing so far
 
ive been using fl studio and adobe audition since they're both relatively cheap and simple without sacraficing features. i really like adobe audition except you can't edit/undo if you accidently record over something.. otherwise it's great. fl studio is decent but not great, i tried reason and liked it even less though. and it would be nice to have both sequencing and multittrack recording in the same program so i'm downloading the sonar demo but i couldnt find a cubase demo anywhere ? anyone know if there is one?
 
$2500 for SAW, vs $200 for Reaper. I'm choosing Reaper every single time. Plus it actually makes sense to use.
 
Bunk!

I think all this computer recording is just hype!

Analog is the ONLY way to go.
It was good enough for Elvis, so it's good enough for me.

Here's the unit I've been using for a while now...

I paid $59 for it back in 1978.

It even has an "auto reduction" that cuts back louder passages (kind of like a compressor)

It's easy to carry (very portable) and the built-in mic has never failed, even after 30 years!

Make sure to buy Ampex cassettes...those cheap TDK & Maxell won't do it, even Memorex & BASF are not as good as Ampex.

Another tip: fresh batteries!

No need to thank me...I'm just glad I could help.

This is funny. Not lol funny, but "true" funny. ;)

I think every guitar/amp should have an ego filter. :rolleyes:
(esp. really expensive gear)
 
I've only just made the move from Cubase to Pro Tools. I made a leap of faith as my decisions were either to upgrade from Cubase 4 to 5 or get Pro Tools.

Without looking at Cubase 5 (I can't see it changing very much between versions), I'm utterly impressed with PT8!

(p.s. It's only PT8 LE)
 
Reaper.

I switched from Pro Tools after Digi bricked my interface. I used PT for about 9 years, and loved it dearly, and if I wasn't feeling spurned by my hardware experience, I'd consider using it again.

But Reaper, I love it now. It's not better than PT, probably, but I find it easier, quicker, more intuitive, and far less proprietary. I find my work goes much more quickly and smoothly in Reaper than it ever did in PT.
