Wondering who is using what around here to create.

As for me: Mostly Digital Performer with Reason. Some outboard gear.

wow $800 for 'digital performer'.... looks like a great program, is it easy to use? i use a cheap program "powertracks"... i wonder where the major difference is

hey basu, what soundcard you use?

JoyBasu · 03-03-2004, 08:35 AM

Not sure what the maj diff are. I use the sound card that came with the MOTU 2408. I think its called PCI 341. Something like that.

I'm still learning that too Joy, I recently got an Audigy 24 bit card (usb actually) and the difference in both recording and playback are marginally better.

Cakewalk 9.0 but I have Sonar so I'm going to (if I get the time) learn this more recent sequencer. 9.0 feels like a warm' safe place tho!

I am using a PODxt with Cakewalk Guitar Tracks Pro and Fruity Loops. [img]images/smilies/icon_jam.gif[/img]

I'm considering buying Garage Band from Apple for my Mac. It's got 1000s of sampled instruments to play with and jam/compose.

I have since changed a few things and it has made a huge difference. I bought an

Wow...all my posts seem to get cut off. Strange.

Eric, is this a hint to upgrade? [img]images/smilies/icon_wink.gif[/img]

Sure you aren't smacking Enter before you are done? [img]images/smilies/icon_wink.gif[/img]

Yeah. It seems to happen if I try to type something lengthy. I'll try again.

**stingx** · 03-22-2004, 05:02 PM

I am going to try to post this again

Anyhoot, I bought an M-Audio Firewire 410 to input my audio to the computer. I have a Y-cable that I use to run both outs on the PODxt into the 410. I dropped Guitar Tracks Pro for Steinberg Cubase SX. I cannot rave about Cubase enough. It is just a pleasure to use and offers so many options. Lastly, I got Amplitube and this has got to be the best software ever written. It is just unbelievable. Go to http://www.amplitube.com and check out the samples if you aren't familar with the program.

Very strange

I dunno...anyway looks ok. I just thought it odd cuz that was the second time that happened to me.

Oh you mean it crashes when you submit? Mine does that sometimes too and it pisses me off when it happens [img]images/smilies/mad1.gif[/img] Best thing I can suggest is to compose it offline and then paste it, that's the safest bet.
