Re: PC Recording equipment suggestions

2002-01-06 by tom_snoot

How much do you want to spend? How "pro" do you want the results to 
sound? The latter will take know-how as well as gear. In general, 
pick a sequencer (Logic Audio, Cubase, Sonar and Smaplitude are the 
big ones, but there are others), get the most powerful hardware you 
can find which runs that sequencer, get a soundcard and midi 
interface, add whatever other plugs ins, mixers, microphones and 
outboard gear you want (the sky is the limit), and welcome to the 
wonderful world of computer based recording. Otherwise, a dedicated 
hardware recorder may be less hassle, but (initially at least) more 
expensive. Roland, Yamaha, Tascam etc etc all make good units. But 
whatever you choose, know that in a short while (if you stick with 
the recording caper) whatever you have is never enough.
Give me some more details and I'll suggest something more specific.
cheers
