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.
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.

Expertise
I specialize in Macintosh recording systems on OS X & am well versed in most of the available software titles relative to the platform. I can answer most questions about home recording in general such as: Mic placement, recording/mixing/mastering techniques, control room set up, acoustics & acoustical treatment & choosing the right equipment for specific recording applications. I do not answer PC related questions, or questions pertaining CD/DVD copying or ripping.

Experience
I have been working in studios for over 20 years both as a recurring artist playing on my own recordings & as a session musician, engineer & producer. I run a Mac based studio from my home, use mostly Logic or Garageband. I'll use Garageband for writing & Pre-Prod & move the project over to Logic afterwards. I also have experience using Pro Tools, Digital Performer, Ableton Live & many others. My preferences are Logic & Pro Tools & as such my area of expertise is focussed in these two apps. I'm also an IT guy, sysadmin & electronics technician so can help with technical questions relating to studio operation & maintenance.
