I'm new to recording and don't have a clue what recording software would be good to get. All that's really important to me is the recording and editing part, not virtual tracks (that seems to be advertised a lot). Just to give you some specs, I'm looking for software for Mac, and a price range of a couple hundred (preferably not over 300). If I left anything out just tell me, thanks a lot!

I have been doing some research on some good authentic software instruments. And I came across Colossus from East West/Quantum Leap. From what I read it seems to have all the instuments I need, piano, orchestra, bass, strings the whole nine yards. Im alittle new to the midi software game. My question is has anybody heard these instruments and the quality of them?

hello everyone, this is my first post on here. I have already found a wealth of information after my discovery of this site tonight. Let me introduce myself. My name's Brett, i'm from Jax Florida and i'm in a band Post Faction. We've been touring/playing for a few years now, recorded a few EP's with some well known producers, and now i'm ready for the recording fun in the comfort of my home.

Magix Samplitude 9.0 Classic, the Magix Samplitude 9.0 Master, or Magix Blem Samplitude V8 Classic Recording Software. Which one is the best for my, who is just starting out with recording? Also do you no any type of interface that is good for me also?

Hello everyone, pretty new here. I'm building a song in reason 3.0 it's becoming pretty cpu intensive. I've got a lot of combinators running these patterns etc and I I'd like to re-create my' music in pro-tools. I've tried rewiring but it's difficult trying to get the mix to gel as it did solely in reason. Whatsmore it seems I cannot actually record anything this way.

I don't know what it is called, but I want the software to be able to separate all the tracks, so I can have an acapela vocal rtack and so on. Please help. This would only work with wav files right?

I do pop punk stuff. I also do hip hop stuff. What would be the best drum program? Two separate programs is fine too. I'm using a crappy Yamaha keyboard with midi INs and OUTS to play the drums through the software. Thanks.

I am new to recording, I am running Pro-Tools LE on my Mac Pro Quad. I am a songwriter mainly, I write with my guitar which I am limited on skills. I am looking for a good software program with pre-recorded drum beats, where I can pick and choose from for my original songs.

I don't know the first thing about mastering and I have only just started on my recording path. I have a Mac and I am just using garage band for now. I wonder if there is something out there for mastering music that is as introductory and elementary as garage band. I like the idea of just figuring out how to use what is simple first and then upgrading.

This isn't a debate section for whose DAW is better, but rather what features do you enjoy about yours?

Personally, I use Sonar 6 PE. It's a very powerful program with a lot to offer, I also like how well it works with soundforge and reason.

Cheers!
