You could have made your same money with an LE system. But if you are using a single track for things like "vocal adlib #1" and another whole track for "vocal adlib #2" then by all means knock yourself out, but if you can't get it done with 48 tracks then there is something wrong in my opinion. No regular song of any kind should not take more than 48 tracks to make unless you are dealing with an orchestra or adding foley to film (foley = sound effects). |
You are clearly living in the past and clueless at that. My client roster, extended as is is, would not hire me without an HD rig... you simply can't load in 90 or so tracks, load each track with high dsp eating plugs on an LE system.... your statement is again, completely wrong.
As for something being wrong with using more than 48 tracks... again, get real and get up to date. There are plenty of songs out there and plenty more to come that use a hell of a lot more than 48 tracks.
