Dimension Pro VS Rapture

hello Guys, am going to ask you the question that you might have answered thousand times so far. I am really lost between should I get this or that. All I know that Rapture is more for electronica music synth....and Dimension pro is a sampler or real instruments synth.

which is better ??????

thanks

Thanks Lawapa.

who doesnt want to get the 3 of them! I think am going to take it easy and start with Rapture.

Speaking of Rapture, am new to this what an associate program will you suggest to rewire and do masterig ,recording,cleaning and all that on this big boy?????

Project 5, Sonar , etc?

Markus: I really am a P5 guy, but I'd have to say that Sonar would be your best bet here. Also, you're going to want an audio editor. Since I'm spending your money , I'd recommend Sound Forge orr similar. But you can get a lot of that for free with Audacity.

B Rock thanks so much. I heard about Sonar with flying colors. I am going to hold on till my pocket get bigger , it keeps going smaller :)

wao!! Thanks B Rock. That info is very helpfull .

Thanks again.

Markus,

Rapture is a programable synth while Dimension is a great sampler with a large library of sounds. So, that depends upon which you like or think is more your "style". Of course, if you don't know yet it will be too late once you buy.

Yea, P5 is great for more "loop" oriented music. It also comes with a bunch of good synths for about $250 (there is a roland sample play back unit for meat and potatoes stuff, a virtual analog from the same guy that brought you Rapture, and the original version of dimension. It doesn't have as big of a library, but you can upgrade to "Pro" form another $100. That would give you a head start on your synths plus a MIDI sequncer and analog recording.

If that is too much, then Sonar will be, too. But $150 or so gets you Sonar Home Studio XL, which comes with different sample playback and virtual analog synths than P5 and a lot of the functuality of SONAR. I'd give it a good look see before you jump in.

Well,I figured that seeing as EVERYTHING that Rene has ever designed is quite amazing-the most amazing sounding one being the z3ta+ with the Big Tone Banks-I got sucked in by the new the mousetrap and bought them all !...I justified it by tipping the rubbish out the other end... :) Dimension is such a powerful beast that it should provide many hours of tweakable fun,whilst Rapture promises to be just that...We'll all be wrapped up in her sonic excellence...The cool thing about all of this,is that the facilities available to us these days are so incredibly accessible and potently powerful,that we shouldn't be caught up in the dizziness of the technology trap,but we should be focusing our attention on the most important aspect of all-the music..Let's make these computers really groove... That's the bottom line...Amen... aj washington

Final question if anyone knows. This is going to sound off subject.

Is it possible to Download a software as Project 5 for example or Rapture on an External drive instead of my lap top hard drive to save space !!!?!?!?!?!!!!?! ?!!?!?!

you are going to think am a mad man , but any feed back?

ORIGINAL: dougsyo

going to want to put shared components into "c:\program file\cakewalk\share

Thanks Dougsyo. You are sying it will put shared components, do you think this is going to take space as well or the main bulk will go to the external , is it worth doing so or did you experince any software problems . Cause I want to downlaod the software and the sounds also on the external....

Thanks bud
