Just curious (you've probably discussed this many times before!) as I'm more towards going for the PT LE route at the moment...?

What is the difference between HD and TDM?

And as I'm planning in recording just vocals, bass, guitar and drums for now, possibly some midi type stuff in the future, which out of the below DAW's in your opinion/s will be best for me in the long run? I'm not planning on doing this for a career or anything, but simply recording some great sounding stuff to use as demos etc for my band.

Cubase
Nuendo
Pro Tools LE / M Powered (can't afford HD right now)

Also, is PT LE really that stripped down and limited?

What's it like compared to Cubase and other DAW's?

Or any other recording software I should look into?


Cheers
Shaun
HD is the current TDM system - basic system, with MAC, is around $15,000. Worthwhile system, double that.

LE - in capable hands you can do a lot. Peeder, for example, gets on with it very well - but he knows his onions. I can't recommend PT LE to someone just for messing with. In all the areas you'll want to mess around with - it's not got as many bells and whistles as other systems. HOWEVER - in my opinion, inprofessional use, it is the best. But professional requirements are very different to demoing your bands material Logic express would be a good choice.
