meltdown 0 #1 February 22, 2006 Anyone here know which Cakewalk (or other) product I should buy? I want to do mainly midi recording and editing, possibly live recording. Thanks! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AlexCrowley 0 #2 February 22, 2006 How serious are you? Sonar is a great program if you have the $$$ and need for those features. TV's got them images, TV's got them all, nothing's shocking. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skymedic 0 #3 February 22, 2006 Garageband or soundtrack....both are great. Midi recordings are a breeze with either. Marc otherwise known as Mr.Fallinwoman.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
meltdown 0 #4 February 22, 2006 I was looking at Sonar on the Cakewalk site - I just can't really tell from the descriptions what the difference is between the $149 version versus the $229 version. And they have a different thing called "Music Creator". I can't figure out if that does the same thing or something different. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mattyblast 0 #6 February 22, 2006 Cakewalk Express came with a MIDI cable that I bought awhile back to connect my Korg to my computer, and I thought it was super user-friendly and straight-forward. The cable+software was less than $20. So if you want a cheap sneak preview of what the full-blown version of Cakewalk Home Studio would be like, try Cakewalk Express first. Have fun!"DOOR!!!"

MikeJD 0 #7 February 22, 2006 I'm a Cubase user (SX3), and I love it, in spite of a few niggles. Will set you back several hundred, though. Don't really have any exposure to the other tools - what you need is advice from someone who's used a few different ones. I have heard good things about GarageBand, if you're after something simpler and more affordable. Think it's Mac only, though... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
