I have been doing my homework on PT, Cubase, Nuendo, the Tascan SX-1,
but want to know if anyone out there has any particular advice to pick
one over the other, or to stay away from one or the other.

I primarily am going to use this to record myself and local
artists/small bands. The style of music will probably be guitar
based.

Turn off your computer. Buy an Ampex MM1200 and an MCI or Trident
console. Shouldn't cost you any more than a nicely equipped ProTools
or Nuendo system (except for tape - use less, make more decisions as
you record). Say "no" to software upgrades and obsolescence.

I'm really being somewhat serious here. Think about it

So, you're saying that the next step from a VS machine is a MM1200 and an
MCI or Trident? Interesting :-) Ok, I'm teasing a bit. How bout some good
outboard pre/ converters and a computer? Add a used d8b and stir well.


I thought the part about "saying no to obsolescence" right after he suggested
analog was the interesting part.

ok, ok... flame away.
