After 20 years playing music and PC I have just found out that I could use them both and help me creating my music.
First what I want to do:
I want to track my guitar with a simple drum track to help me creating my vocal parts and lyrics and record fast demo to help other my band members learning or adding to the song.
What I have:
I already have reaper installed and one of my friend isntalled me a great program called EZdrummer.
I have already ordered KRK rokit 5 monitor.
I'm on a i7 920 windows 7 64pc with 6gb 1600 ddr3 (gamer pc but should do ok)
Type of music:
Heavy rock with bit of metal and punk.
Will be recording rectifier, JCM 800, Bogner type of guitar sound
Also do some solo acoustic stuff.
What you need to know:
I have tried two cards already (a friend have them). The
fast track ultra from m-audio (USB 2) and a
firewire solo also from m-audio. No problems with USB but really bad sound fro firewire... My mobo is an Asus rampage II extreme.. don't know who's doing the firewire chip, maybe that's the problem.
What I want to know:
Ok what to buy?
At first I wanted a
pod x3 live since it can act as a sound card. (read that somewhere)
But since i may really like doin' this maybe it would be better to get a good sound card.
My budget is around 700$.
I was looking at the
UltraLite-mk3 Hybrid from MOTU, have USB2 and firewire.
Maybe add line 6 plugin pod farm or the
pod 2.0??
Or choose the
pod x3 live and... will it sound as good as the motu?
Or something else....
Thanks
