hi all I'm new to digital recording and i desperatley want to get into it further.I have used Cubase and pro tools in college afew times and I'm looking to buy either of the two just to do recordings at home, but I'm not sure which to buy, i found Pro Tools quite confusing but iv been told that it is the best one to get to grips with since it is pretty much the industry standard. bassically i just need something thats going to have atleast 16 tracks or more, a wide range of good sounding midi instruments, the ability to to see,quantise and put in midi notes freehand, something that can transcribe to score form and transfer to mp3 file without messing up sounds. its just going to be in my room on a laptop so I'm not looking for anything spectacular. any help would be appriciated, cheers!

I agree with demented chord regarding midi. Most editors these days that are beyond a certain price point are decent. There are some that do things easier and more efficiently than others, and there are some that excell in a certain area more than others. Pro Tools may still be the standard of the industry, but I believe that's only marginal at best. Being that Pro Tools is a proprietary editor, it continues to lose favor. This is of course driven by the fact that Digi has put out a line of mediocre hardware. Several weeks ago I was in a situation where the only available editor was Cool Edit Pro v2. I hadn't used it in years, but I was surprised at how intuitive it was for it's time. So, get what you need in order to do the things you want to do (midi), and don't worry about the standard of the industry unless you need the name recognition to draw clientele.
you said midi is a concern??? then cubase it is!!!! protools doe
