I don't currently use a computer for music...Have been doing everything on an ASR-X Pro and assorted gear...Now ready to make the jump. Just looking for ideas...I want something with as few limitations as possible. Willing to spend as much as needed within reason...any comments on software?? There is so much out there I don't really know where to start...I would like something that would allow me to easily combine music and video compositions and manipulate... Thanks --- EggyToast <eggy@eggtastic.com> wrote:
