Question hi, i wanna record music but can't decide on which software's to choose from. i'm looking to record multiple tracks at once, for example - kick in track 1, snare in track 2, etc. what program would you recommend for this? would i be able to use cakewalk home studio 7XL? cubase 4? those are the cheap one's.
Answer Hey Jim, I don't use PC, so I really don't know which to recommend to you. I've used Ableton Live before & found it was quite good, but I use Logic now & haven't even thought of using anything else since. Maybe one of the other guys here would be more qualified to answer that question. If you need anything else though, just drop me a line.
Peace - J.
