Time Sync

[Matt303]

I currently use an old Fostex D80 hard disc recorder. I like it because I can record all 8 tracks at once and it was cheap, I already had a desk, some compressors and effects for live use so all in all its a reasonable compromise home recording. I have been cnsidering getting a software package like logic or Cubase. This is mainly because my keyboard sequencer is a pain in the arse to use so for midi its easier and more flexible. I don't want to spend loads of cash on this but I also want to use it for some audio work (mainly vocals).
Does anyone know if I will be able to accurately time sync the two systems for audio and midi I am assuming this will be by midi time code I have heard that I may get sync. problems particularly with Cubase altough I've been told that Logic is better in this respect?

Logic handles midi very well, but I dont do any sync with outside hardware. I would say dump your audio into Logic and then use the Midi for your midi tracks, in addition plenty of power for editing your audio tracks as well.
You can pick up an older version of Logic on ebay to save some money.
