Yeah, I remember reading that you can only use one core – but I’m still on a single-core processor (Pentium IV) 🙂 Should be upgrading soon if I know what’s good for me.
I’ve been in the mind of buying a DAW that is moderately priced – Podium has so far been a serious option. 😮 I’m not really (yet) into virtual instruments and such; my recordings are on a more basic style – namely acoustic/classical guitar (both solo and overdubbed), all instrumental. With this forum’s help, that’ll probably change soon.
I could consider myself as an intermediate, I have four years of playing under my belt, and have recorded a good many songs on non-legit software. I’m getting serious now, and I reckon that I’ll have to part with my old way, and do everything legit. Trying to record my first album.
One thing that I haven’t found in Podium Free so far, is there any way I can reduce noise (through sampling noise, and then editing it out completely)? I record through a pickup, so I don’t have much “unusual” sounds, but just a little hum that I’d like to get rid of without outsourcing to a different program. Har.=) 😕
So, in conclusion, I’m still in shallow water; Not sure what to go for, and I have a limited (college student style) budget. Sched is busy, got lots of things going on, but I know that I want to do this.
