For Those Who Want To Sequence on Computer...

[ddw4e]

Here is my mininum requirements for doing recording on the computer..from my experiences..

533 MHz Processor
128 MB RAM
100MB free hard disk space
MIDI interface and/or Windows-compatible sound card (I use M-Audio MIDISPORT 1 X 1)
1024 X 768, 16-bit color

Recommended requirements
Windows 2000, Windows XP
1.2 GHz processor or higher
512 MB RAM
100MB free hard disk space
1280 X 960, 24-bit color or higher (u can still use 1024 X 768)
MIDI interface and/or Windows-compatible sound card (I use M-Audio MIDISPORT 1 X 1)

I use Propellerhead Reason & Cakewalk SONAR 4 Producer's Edition and they take up CPU power!!! And between these 2 programs I think these are the most reasonable requirements for ya!

What are some of the advantages of the prgrams you use??  If you had to chose one, what would it be and why???

Well I use Reason mainly for the drum loops and the synth patches and SONAR 4 is like my workhorse of the 2 cause it's a sequencer so everything that I do it goes to Sonar for mixing....even Reason (that's called Rewire...which allows me to take one program as a slave (Reason) to another program as a master (Sonar))....If I have to chose one...probably Sonar cause they both are the some features but Reason doesn't support vocal recording...Sonar does but that's probably on only reason on why I would have Sonar and that program can be incorporated with several other programs...If I had Pro Tools then that's a different story but for what I am doing, I an satified with what I have now.

Hey DDW4E,

I use Sonar 4 also.  I also have Reason but I don't use it, I prefer Sonar.  I use it on a computer (XPC Shuttle Case).  Running AMD XP 2800 chip,  256 mb of memory,  128mb Video card, and Terretec Phase 28 sound card.  I also have the Roland XP10 keyboard and the XV-5050 sound module, and TascamTM-D1000 Mixer.  I love my tools.  This is how I make my music for the Lord.  Go to the Shuttle web site to check the case out.  It's a little wonder!!!!

God Bless.

I will chk it out....I just brought a computer myself....AMD 3200+ with 512MB of RAM, 160GB of hard drive space and cd and dvd burner...so i am good to go!! I am wondering are you familiar with Cakewalk Project 5? I have that and Kinetic for beats (use them for rewire)...but if u familiar with CW project 5, hit me back..

Praise The Lord,

I don't have the program but I'm familiar with it.

Be Bless...

i use acid for my beat creation and looping then record all my live instruments into sonar 4. I am the worship leader/youth pastor/assistant pastor of a small church that just formed in august of last year, so I do all of ym music like that and play keys nad sing with it live, along with a 5 person praise team that helps me out.

I use Cubase SX , have the ProTools but preferr Cubase for flexiblility

[SammyT]

I use Sonar 3 and Cubase VST for Hammond B3 simulation. I first create all my midi tracks in Sonar then import them into Cubase VST. I like the traditional sound I get from basic piano, bass, light drums and B3 with leslie effect.
