I am looking for the best value, I have an Edirol UA4FX that came with Sonar 4 LE, but the disk is bad.
I also have an M-Audio Black Box and I don't remember what it came with, I think the same thing, would not load on Vista or Win 7 64-bit
I built a new PC with Windows 7 64-bit Pro, which has compatibility modes.
I record guitar and vocals, plus I bought an Alesis QX49 that I can't get to work. I need to configure something, but support for Alesis and Ableton each point to the other.
So...I thought if I buy a bundle "solution" or hardware that came with MIDI support, then I would have one point of contact for support.
I was using Adobe Audition, but it has been difficult with my hardware. I don't know how to configure MIDI in it. So I thought that Guitar Tracks Pro looks awesome! So I looked at 2 different Audio IO devices, one bundled with Sonar IIRC, and the other with Guitar Tracks Pro. There are also 2 MIDI interfaces, and I don't know what they come with.
SO, requirements:
Windows 7 64-bit
MIDI support for Alesis QX49, including VST instrument or an alternative, so I can get audio from it.
Within the Cakewalk hardware USB bundles, which works best? If I use Sonar LE instead of Guitar Tracks, what to I gain and what do I lose?
Thanks!
