good/cheap software

[Maladroit1]

Another good/cheap recording software is Acoustica Mixcraft. I know that alot of the other programs have more capabilities but I have been playing with this and it is VERY easy to learn to use and only costs $40. You can download a full version demo from their site and use it for 7 days. It has all of the features I need to record my band and works great with my Toneport UX1.

Sonar 5. Just got it. IT ROCKS!!!. I've got professional edition, or whatever, but the norm. is 100 and it is nice.

Slapnuts, you are definitely travelling in the fast lane now. Congrats. I think I'll be sticking to the Sonar family for a while myself.

I have looked into it recently, I think a mac may work well for some people. Just get the cheap one, it comes with garage band, REC. sw. It is pretty sweet, I have used it before, maybe too expensive for some.

Where did you buy this? Sonar 5 (either producer or home) retails for WAY more than $100.

I would be careful to make sure this is not pirated software.

I found home for 100, but I have Pro. It was at media play when they were closing, too late now. You could get it online, though. Also eBay.

You will not find Sonar 5 Studio for less than 200 dollars, and Sonar 5 Producer starts at 429 dollars (these are prices from actual listings right now)...

There is one listing for Sonar 5 Producer for 180 dollars - guaranteed pirated copy. And another of Producer and Guitar tracks for $29.00....guaranteed copy. A quick visit to Sonar's site will let you know instantly that 100 dollars is not a bonified price for this software.

Be very careful with your retailer...the only version of Sonar 5 that gets close to the 100 dollar mark is Guitar tracks.
