Hey all. I play guitar, started out early on with clarinet and sax. I record into ProTools and import other tracks from my sessions goofing around in Reason. I'm a techie girl that got into computer music through a friend.. and so few other girls there are. Just wondering if any of you chicas are into this stuff.  |

Like Maggis mentioned, check out the Backstage Babes Forum. All kind of tech talk going on in there.
I use ProTools and love it! The ProTools hardware sounds great. The software takes a little getting use to but it's cool once you get it.
Maggis: What soundcard thing are you referring to?

Nah. It comes with hardware though -- either a digital mixer or the rack version. The software won't launch unless it recognizes the attached hardware. I have the rack since I already had a mixer. The hardware connects to the computer via firewire. It has 8 ins 8 outs. Four ins are XLR, the rest are 1/4 inch TRS, MIDI ins/outs and sports all the usual digital I/O -- S/PDIF, fiber-optic ADAT, etc.

Damn because I set someone on a mission to get me a crack of it and he's got me three versions I think they all need this hardware you speak of... But I just want to learn how to use it so i can get into the studio stuff... Is there software I can get hold of which'll show me the practical basis of how it works?

Yes, there is a demo version available and it is hardware independent. You don't need anything but a computer. Because it is a free version it has a few limitations -- I think you only get 8 tracks of audio and 48 MIDI tracks -- but otherwise it's fully functional. It will not run on Windows XP -- it will only run on Windows 98/ME and Mac OS systems. Here is the URL for more info and downloading www.hitsquad.com/smm/programs/ProTools/ Let me know what you think after you have a chance to use it. |

Ok I'll have to get hold of windows 98 first and see if I can run it along with xp and then I'll let you know how I do thanks |
