well i have been using a Cubase setup for the past year but now i want to get a job as an engineer- so i guess it would be useful to learn the program they all seem to use- pro tools!
obviously, being 17 i cant afford the full blown pro tools HD or whatever it is (the prices scare me much!).
so yea- i need a small, mobile, relatively cheap setup that i can learn the basics on and still get ok demo's for my band out of it..
from what i can see- its either pro tools LE or pro tools M-Powered- are there much difference between these two programs? anyone have a preferance of which is better?
people say you should chose the program first, then the hardware etc. dont they?
so then what would you suggest out of all the Digidesign and m-audio stuff?
i am going to need a couple of mic inserts with preamps , midi capabilities and up to 96khz. USB 2 or firewire, some line outs for monitoring.
there are sooo many to chose from...

You already know what you need so really you don't need our help
You already know what you need so really you don't need our help. You really just need to do some more research, go to digidesign.com and read. Then you should be able to make a decision. If you need additional pro tools help then check out duc.digidesign.com. But honestly if you already run cubase then don't worry about learning pro tools. IF and thats generally a big IF, but if you get a job in a pro studio they probably wouldn't let you touch anything to start anyway. I'd say the best way to get into pro tools is to intern at a studio and try to see what they do.
