I am head of a music department for a community college where we finally convinced the powers-that-be that a Midi studio/recording Certficate would be a good thing. So now we are ready to assemble a DAW, etc. and need some advice.

I posted this question at a couple of the other forums but I thought I would put it up here to see what the DAW world folks have to say.I run a small recording studio that does mostly demos and low budget indy releases. I prefer to have my mixes mastered by a professional mastering house because I don't have the tools and monitor set up to get proper results.

I posted a similar question in Harvey's forum without much results so I thought I would try here. I run a small recording studio that does mostly demos and low budget indy releases.
