However, I'm a firm believer in "don't knock it till you've tried it!", so has anyone stepped up to using a computer from doing it the "old" way with sequencers and multitrackers and so on? If so, what are the main advantages? Does it take the "spontanaety" (I know i've spelled that wrong) out of it?


Hi,
There are lots and lots and lots of major advantages to using software sequencers and computer based DAW setups. Too many for me to list right now...

if you go back and read many of my posts I've already posted a few dozen recommendations.. ugh.. I mean a few thousand suggestions in regards to software sequencers and software synths. I've got to run now so I can't really go to the level of detail I usually do...

BUt in short, I've been using software sequencer programs like Cubase, Logic and DP, Pro Tools etc for about fifteen years now. At the moment I'm using Logic Pro 7 on a dual 2.7 mac G5. Mostly using software synths. There isn't a lot to learn really if you are familiar with MIDi and Audio. There's hardly any real *programming* that needs to be done. I prefer to think of it as just using software. It's been programmed already. LOL

Okay, gotta run. Take a minute and find one of my old posts (just do a search for my username and put in keywords like 'software synths' etc). Should be enough there to keep you busy.



Okay later,

-ED-
