$13000 comes with ProTools HD and an awesome plug in suite.

You'll need something for input so:

You could probably get a bundle though and get a control surface as well :

thank you very much hueseph.. Now for those of you who are retarded:

Obviously it isnt a good a mic as others but for a general usage pc mic it was the best available logitc there was.. AND the reason i wanted the best software is, i will get it free from my sources.. i just didnt know what was the best available. Obviously if i was throwing money at this i would hget the hardware 1st. (not that its anyones business here)

Uh huh. I thought so too. Well have fun trying to install ProTools on your computer. I seriously hope you are thirteen or under because your attitude puts you around that age. You're not the only one who knows about peer to peer. No really it's true. I know what bittorrent is too. :roll:

Hey maybe he can really get good software for free he might be loaded. obviously buying things within your budget are a thing of the past
but look , if you CAN get free legit software, and you want the best there is for your pc dynamic mic
...think outside the box , why get software, get HARDware
you gotta have this instead

tell your source that THIS is what you need ! youll shine tellin every one you got this baby boy.
this plus pc mic and guitar, and Audacity as your DAW( if you dont want to pay for software ,but who cares what software you got any way you got that ssl ! )

dont steal software. unless you want to try before you buy, even then

With an adapter you can plug your mic straight into this.

But for the _BEST_ sound, I suggest this;
Logitech USB mic -> USB port -> On-Board Line out -> SSL mixing desk for pro mixing goodness -> On-board Mic In -> Pro tools for that slick digital processing and HD plugin madness -> Ipod -> VMS70.

Your name should be capitalised, Andy.
It's three dots not two...
It's "an high" not "a high". It's "an" for words starting with vowels and the letter H. And it's not an high quality mic... But that's not grammar that's taste.
Capital I...
Use the word "the"...
Budget...
Suggestions...
Full stop at the end.

Dude, everyone on here busts their ass helping people and shelling out money (in large quantities) on gear.
You, noob, cannot breeze into the room, ask for software, and then expect us all not to care about your complete reliance on bittorrent.
Get a job. Get a haircut. Get an attitude fix. Get TFO.

Did you know, a guy not less than 20 miles from here was busted a while ago. He had over 4.3 TERABytes of pirate software on his PC.

TBH though I agree with this. Going and getting something to use it for a project or even just for half a project, and if you like it, getting it for real, is vaguely acceptable if the company doesn't have a proper demo.
Sony Vegas has an excellent demo, I downloaded and used it for something. Hell, I'd get the new v8 platinum if I could afford it.

Hence why I use Kristal, even with all its faults (broken VST support, broken ASIO support, crappy sequencing) it gets the job done.

realy? me too.. id be suprised if it was on there though.. torrents are for nubs.. enjoy your viruses if you use them.

and yes my attitude was bad.. but i clearly stated good quality pc mic.. i didnt say good quality mic that i can use for pc.. i know it sucks compared. i didnt ask for opinions did i?

ok this has gone too far.No need to be all defensive , we are merely setting you straight dear lad.

by the way you did ask for opinions.

Ill come forth,
Hi, my name is John S. Fedup.
My first setup was....a hacked version of Nuendo AND Waves Diamond bundle . it worked great. But i loved and still love music . So i felt i was stealing from my own pocket as well as the pockets of my brothers...
So i deleted all my hacked software and all the music files i made with it. Do i regret it ? No.
My setup does give me more problems now than when i had my pirated copy , but the guilt and torment of sailing (surfing) abroad the misty waters of the web in search of free stuff no longer haunts me.Today ive been pirate free for about 6 months. And i ask others to please come forth.

Hey wait a minute , this guy never said he supports pirated copies
!

Hi, I am Codemonkey. I formatted my PC about 2 months ago, and have yet to install anything that isn't paid for, a trial, or freeware.

Srsly get Oddasscity (better paying for Reaper) or Kristal (pay for Reaper), or just go on dl'ing cracks ($50 for Reaper, I think).
I really don't mean to push Reaper too much (get it NAO) but it looks like it has damn near everything my cracked copy of Vegas had in terms of audio editing.
And then download Super, a free encoder (frontend actually) that'll make whatever you want out of whatever else you want. Super and some free VSTs should make a nice addition to your lovely new Reaper software.

Oh and on here, we talk about Vocal mics, Guitar mics, Snare drum mics, All-purpose mics, Overhead mics, but never PC mics.
In all my time here, NOONE has asked how to record PC noise. So, you're the first if you want a PC mic.

You have a lot of gall. You shouldn't ask for advice if your going to act like an ASS.

The people here don't support cracked software because for many, audio is their livelyhood. Cracked software is both unethical and an unnecessary risk. Pirates make softare more expensive and more difficult to use for the rest of us.

The fact that you have to ask these questions shows that you couldn't take advantage of "the best" software anyway. There's plenty of cheap entry level software that will be difficult enough to wrap your head around. Get something cheap or freeware to use with your "high end" PC microphone. If you can make that sound good, you're ready to go to the next step. Until then, you're just another pretentious wanabe. No really, you should be able to make something sound good or at least as good as it can get with a pc mic. It will sound like a crappy pc mic recording but if the technique is there, it will shine through the crappy gear and software.

And finally, mind your manners and show respect to others. That will get you further in life than anything else.

That's right. It's not English over there.
I forgot to Americani---->Z<----e my brain. I feel kinda dirty using that Zed.

Plus I think it comes down to how you pronounce the word high. Some people say HI and some say I. For the hard H sound you would use A. For the I sounding one, AN should be used.

I was 'I when I wrote it anyways.
