I would be happy to give you some advice. Now you can tell us what your goals are. Where do you want to be with music in a month? A year?

Thats a probelm...I have to go to the army so it will kindda stop almost all music activity.
I'm trying to find something that will be in a city or something so I will be able to play also.

So I have a year or so to play.
I play with few bands few lives(few) and as much as I can for fun.
In 3 months my school will end exept for exams now and then.
Than it will be the time that I will play the most.

But anyway, for now, I'm just composing a bit using the computer. I have some songs I mean, I realy love it and do it, as much as the time offers.
So I just want a sequencing program, good but easy to use.
Now I'm using Guitar Pro, but its not ANY pro....I want to be able to go a bit further.

thx!

I'm limited but I get to have a job (I'm still studying in school) from time to time so I get some money every now and then.
Also, my parents can see how much I love this, they will agree to put some more into it.

Don't consider the money for now:) I will see what best fits, list the things and choose the one I can buy. I don't have an exact number.
Also, I don't think I will found something too costly that will fit me, usualy those things are "too" pro and have so many things that I won't even need and use...

Kakaroto,

If you are not looking for a flagship application, I suggest these softwares:

Logic Express 7 (Mac only) --> 300$

Cubase SL 3 --> 350$

Sonar 4 Studio Edtion 4 (PC only) --> 500$

Cakewalk Home Studio 2 XL (PC only) --> 230$

Among these softwares I prefer Sonar Studio Edition not because of the program itself, just because it has more features (it's almost a pro software) and it's more expensive.

But I think the best deal will be buying a flagship software but not the latest version. I highly recommend Cubase SX 2 (which is the bigger brother of Cubase SL). I think you can get SX 2 off the ebay for less than 300$ but it really worths the price.

Sonar is a bit expensive..But what do you think about it?
Would you prefer it on the Cubase SX 2/3 for example?

thx a lot

No, I prefer Cubase SX. As I said the best deal is SX 2, IMO.

Kakaroto,

I said I prefer Sonar 4 Studio Edition because it has more features among Cubase SL and Logic Express, but it doesn't have more features among Cubase SX and Logic Pro.


sambasevam,

Cakewalk's flagship as you mentioned is Sonar Producer Edtion, but the features that it has more than Studio Edtion are not really critical. In other words, the difference between Sonar PE and ST is much less than the difference between CUbase SX/SL and Logic Pro/Express.

Project 5 it's not in the category of DAW's such as Sonar, Cubase and Logic. Project 5 is actually a softsynth with built-in sequencer (like Propellerhead Reason).
