New puter a'comin'...decisions..Hmmm

[Lee Tyler]

I am awaiting the arrival of a new puter (WinXP/p4/2.4GZ/512mem/120gb HD) for the continued purposes of directing sequenced compositions from my Kurzweil workstation direct into soundcard. Then I will add vocals thru Joemeek and his friend "Marshall" MXL67. I have been using Cakewalk Pro8 and Cool Edit Pro 1.0 on my P2/333mz. Updating is probably needed here with the new system. I will try to explain what I need so maybe someone can offer a reasonably moderate priced suggestion. I need multi-track abilities, great wave editing, 30 band equalization, etc. Would Sonar XL 2.O fit the bill? Or would I also need wave editing software such as Cool Edit?....and....will Cool Edit 1.0 work in Windows XP? (I have NO need for MIDI-sequencing software and probably will not be using it in the future.) Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I hope I made my quest clear and mentioned the equipment and the purpose for use, obvious. IE., very simple, but capable. Thanks in advance!! ~~~Lee
