I'm now purchased a new computer and I'm planning (mainly due to finance reasons) to switch on to record on a computer

right now my recorder is the Roland 1824cd
and I am VERY pleased with it

today I use the computer mainly for sequensing and mastering
and also as a sampler (selling my Roland S750)

what recording software would give me the best quality and still be a fairly good midi sequencer, and also would integrate with a sampler ?

I don't want to mess with too many software
And I need audio quality


thanx

Audio quality is not determined by the software you use but rather the card you have to convert audio into digital information and the DAC's it uses.

Figure that out first then think about software.
 
I put a side hardware coz' I understand that better and probably will go on the delta 1010

doesn't n-tracks is audio only ?
 
from http://www.fasoft.com/what_is.shtm:
n-Track Studio allows to use your computer as a complete recording studio. You can record and playback a virtually unlimited number of audio and MIDI tracks, depending on your computer’s speed. (emphasis added)

I am not connected in any way to fasoft or n-Track. I don't even use n-Track. But apparently lots of people do, and it is inexpensive.

n-Track should get along fine with the Delta 1010.
 
I've heard that Aardvark makes some nice sounding hardware.

I am going to purchase the Q10 myself.
 
does anybody knows the quality of N-Tracks ??

What is the sound quality, does it stands in midi capablities like cubase or logic ?

I'm an N-track user who's not familiar with Cubase or Logic!My experience with midi on N-track is limited,but I don't believe it works all that well(I use v.2.2,which may be quite obsolete in terms of midi).It may very well be worth trying though,being that it is VERY inexpensive compared to those other programs(I believe you'll pay $60 bucks for the 24bit version of N-track)whereas Cubase or Logic will cost you hundreds.Food for thought,I suppose.
 
Check out some of Sonic Foundry's products, as well as, Cakewalk....

Sonic Foundry

ACID PRO 4

Vegas Video 4.o

Sound Forge 6.0

CD Architect 5.0

Cakewalk

Sonar 2.0

Fruity Loops 4.0
 
Both websites have downloadable demos of ALL of their products.

:cool:
 
Dittos on the M-Audio Audiophile 2496.

For software, try "MultitrackStudio v 2.1" by Bremmers Audio Design. It's affordable ($69-$99), FEATURE-RICH(audio & midi), rock stabile and important to me - easy to use.

You can download a free demo at http://www.multitrackstudio.com/

Have Fun !
 
I have an Aardvark Q10 currently in the UPS truck on the way to me. It comes bundled with Cakewalk Pro Audio 9, which is now obsolete. I've been looking at the Sonar demo and am amazed at how busy and complex it is. At first glance, I don't even know where to start.

This is my first step into both multi track live performance recording, and single-artist, multiple step recording.

My question is: Is Sonar 2.2 overkill for this purpose, or should I learn to use 2.2 anyway? I don't want to get down the road, only to find out I need to learn another package.
