software to recreate acoustic instruments

Aloha,

I did a search but came up with nada.

I'm looking for software that will recreate the sounds of acoustic instruments reasonably well. What I'm after is something where there was a microphone, a player, and a studio involved in creating it. I'd want it to include electric bass for sure.

The same idea for drums would be great.

Any recommendations?

AGC in software? For recording music festival this weekend

I've been asked to provide a computer and software to record a small bluegrass festival this weekend.

Looking for a software package that will allow me to record to a computer and have AGC too.

Is there anything out there that will do Automatic Gain Control?

Other options and suggestions welcome.

Simplicity is best.

Thanks,

Neil

about the locked discussion about software cracking.

Don,

I'm glad we agree on this discussion about cracked software. I would not have argued if I knew about your section's policy. I'm don't visit this section of RO very often, otherwise I would not have gotten started and wasted everybody's time.

Thank you for trying to keep good values in the audio community. Please delete my message once you've read it...

Recording software - Pro Tools vs. . Cubase

I'm putting together a recording studio to record drums for the most part (so I need 8 mic preamps at least), and I've pretty much decided that I'm going with the Mackie Onyx 1620 (about $700 US) as mixer, along with the M-Audio Firewire 1814 (about $430) as digital interface. Of course I'll need mics etc but I think I'm straight in that area.

Software compressor or Hardware compressor?

I was using the Reason 3.0 Mastering suite last night and I must tell you guys that it is amazing! I don't know if you really need a hardware compressor. I know Reason can't do audio but you can always export a file from a program like Cubase as an audio file and then load it into the Reason sampler and then use the compressor (or M-class mastering suite).
