hi.
i'm thinking of getting cakewalk pro 9. being a newbie, i don't think i would be able to even make use of all the cool features that sonar offers. i don't even know what dxi synth is...
before asking questions, here's what i have and what i want.
i have a keyboard (w/o synth), a guitar & an amp, an acoustic guitar, a bass guitar & an amp, a shure 57 microphone, boss gt3 guitar effects unit, and a computer with a not so impressive sound card and a decent cd burner.
i'd mostly record rock songs with heavy usage of electric guitar and make them into mp3s and CDs. so i would need some kind of drums software or something. (pro 9 deluxe comes with a drum studio? what's that?) also, i'd need some decent piano, organ, classical string instruments, sitar, accordion, harmonica, ...sounds. the most important thing to me is the sound. both miked and digital. i've got about $1000~$1500 to spend.
so here are my questions.
if i buy cakewalk pro 9, what else would i need? i know that i'd need a better soundcard. i also understand that i'd need a preamp for mic recording. besides a soundcard and a preamp, what else do i need? any suggestion of a particular model/option?
so far (with limited research and knowledge), i'm considering cakewalk pro 9 deluxe, m-audio omni studio w/ delta 66 soundcard, steinberg wave lab.
i tried to read threads in HR, but there're simply too many of them, and i don't know where to begin. any book i can read except for cakewalk power (which just ordered from amazon)? any search suggestion? any webpage? what's a good place to begin for a newb like me with cakewalk-home recording?
thanks a lot in advance. your help is greatly appreciated.
