Usually when I'm recording I just do live sets into audacity or a minidisc recorder... but i've been looking into possibly trying to integrate my computer. I have reason 5, I have a demo or renoise, I still keep hearing that if you want to be pro you need to get ableton live... which is both attractive and unattractive about it.
I have also been hearing good things about the Nuendo, pro tools, peak, cubase. I have a little bit of experience with digital performer, but not enough to make me want to use it. lol.
What's up DAW users give me the lowdown! Maybe this should be a new thread.

Oh ok, now I see why you're using MidiYoke. The apps are fighting over the midi ports. I ran into this in the past. One c-blocks the other as they're jockeying for resources the whole time and one falls off. I gotcha now.
Neat stuff, but I am not feeling the integration. That's just me tho. If I were to use a full blown DAW than I would just get a midi controller and leave the CS off the chain. I think it complicates things. Atleast at this point. I'll probably get bored and try and jack with it later. Right now tho, I am not feeling it.
FL Studio was worse by the way.On Mon, Jan 31, 2011 at 12:44 PM, stimresp <stimresp@...> wrote:
Make sure you are in multi mode and that rechannelize is off (both in the MIDI menu).
