I had that combo with some recent clients..worked quite well.
On what basis would I recommend it?

well..here's your basic tracks..go find an abondoned barn and don't come back till you have some gtr tracks

here's 5 takes of yer lead vocal..go home and edit me up your masterpiece

here's a few mic's and pre's..the string section will be at the church at 9..make sure they tune up..we'll merge it into the mix later.

Hi, thanks for answering. Yet another question: Have you tried Nuendo on a Mac and compared it with DP? I used to work with Nuendo on a PC but now I have this iBook and would love to use some VST instruments. A wrapper would do the job with DP? Are there some other possibilities on DP for virtual instruments?

Thanks
