Hopefully this is the "best" forum for this thread. Im going to be buying some new software soon to record and edit audio.
What I am looking for is something like Apple's Garage Band, but with more features. So what I mean is:
1. Easy connection with MIDI controller such as keyboard
2. Easy integration of virtual instruments for MIDI
3. MIDI writing and editing in-program
4. Looping of audio AND MIDI sequences
5. Effects, panning etc etc
6. Editing of basic audio
7. Capable of handling many tracks
8. Included virtual instruments a plus, but I have my own.
My list so far includes;
Sony Acid 6 (or newest version) [$70]
Cakewalk Sonar 7 (or newest version) [$100]
Sony Sound Forge [$70]
Im thinking Sonar, and possibly Acid are the best for me.
Any opinions and input would be greatly appreciated thanks!
Note: Im really just going to be creating virtual instrument -(with some real recorded instruments and sounds)- music with plenty of self-created loops. I want to be able to create a real song with VERY easy MIDI recording and editing.
