I've been writing and recording for some time now but with limited recording tools. I use older versions of SoundForge, Fruity Loops, and a no longer supported recording/mixing program called DDClip Pro that allows up to 32 tracks in a project. These 3 programs used together surprisingly produce pretty decent wave and mp3 masters but DDClip does not support VST plug-ins. I have saved enough $$$ to finally "buy" some software and I'm torn between Pro Tools LE and Cubase 4 as my main recording and mixing software. I know Pro Tools is better for recording/editing live instruments while Cubase is great for virtual instruments and midi hardware input. Now I can't decide what to buy because I need to use live instruments/vocals, virtual instruments and midi hardware in my songs. Can anyone tell me which of the two is better than the other for both types of recording? HELP...
