Hi All, Well, the Amiga still kicks computer chip butt, in wanting a lot of digital audio tracks, and no pc or mac sequencer has even half the features of bars and pipes pro. There are rumors of new multi track boards for pcs coming out. There are a couple about $3000 or so, but one can get an Adat for that. Quad Studio fans swear by its 4 tracks of DA. Just as many dont like it. You definitely want to try it out. Maybe you could synth 2 Quads and 2 turtle boards together for a $700 8 track? Musicator GS has just added 2 tracks of digital audio, synths to midi, and editing too. They plan to add 2 more tracks too for 4. I use it a lot more than Cakewalk Pro. Musicator has a lot more features overall. Outstanding score displays, notation editing and printouts. Cakewalk is cool, if you plan to use a lot of cal routines. Good if you dont need accurate notation, or have a lot of notation tracks. Manual is good and its a very stable program with huge user base. And the dna groove stuff is very useful. Buy the pro version. IF you read music, cakewalk and musicator would be a good combo. Wouldnt have to even bother with encore, finale, ete. Midisoft Studio is great if you're on a budget. Has some nice very simple tools for vel and tempo scaling, ete. Its notation is a lot more accurate than cakewalk, and its very fast too. The easiest one to learn to use, even for kids. And everyone should have a copy of Power Tracks Pro, just to see what you can get for $20. Happy Shopping. Timothy Kelly MidiVox -- MidiVox-Worlds 1st Voice to Midi Converter. Real Time. No Delays.
