This is a well-priced package that gives you the hardware and software you’d need to record podcasts, voice-over, and vocals for music (Vocal Studio), play some synths and instruments (KeyStudio), and input your guitar or instrument (Studio), and in each of them, record, edit, and produce musical arrangements. So you can’t do simultaneous multitrack input or surround hardware, but you’d need a different audio interface for that, anyway.Īctually, so that you can email this story to your nephew or niece who’s just starting out and considering options, let me translate to English: You get over 5 GB of instruments and loops, 60 virtual instrument sounds, reverb / chorus / delay / flanger / phaser / compression / EQ effects, reasonable track counts (16 audio, 8 instrument, 8 MIDI), 3 insert slots per track for “up to 3 simultaneous effects,” buses and send/return routing, and 2 simultaneous audio inputs and outputs. If you’re a beginning user, I don’t doubt that this software will get you started. See additional analysis on what the larger implications of Avid’s strategic shift may be. Do let us know what they think – if they’re turned on, or turned off. But I know we also have a lot of readers who offer expertise to other folks. The target readership for CDM may not be in the market for this bundle - though it is a ridiculously cheap way to add Pro Tools compatibility to your rig, if you just need to trade session files. (I had an early press release that said pricing was $129 for all three.) Beyond that, your choice is which hardware you’d like in your “value meal”:įor vocalists: The Vocal Studio has a cardoid condenser mic – that’s a USB mic you can connect directly – plus a stand and a case.įor “recording:” The Recording Studio gives you a simple 2-in/2-out audio interface so you can connect your own mic/line/instrument input.įor keyboardists: The KeyStudio is a 49-key synth-action keyboard with mod and pitch bend, plus and an audio interface (the 1-in, 1-out M-Audio USB Micro).Ĭorrection: $99 is the price for the keyboard and vocal bundles, $129 for the recording bundle with Fast Track. It really is Pro Tools software it’s certainly streamlined (some basic track limits, no multitrack recording), but still with a serious complement of recording, mixing, and effects, and even some nice virtual instruments. For people looking to get into music recording and production on a computer, for the first time, there’s a bundle that says “Pro Tools” on the box that costs correction: as little as just $99.
