H.D. recording software for Pc (loop oriented)

["Luca" <lucafeed@tin.it>]

Hi,

I am about to set up my Pc for H.D. recording.

I have followed many discussion about this argument but they all were about Macs.

Before taking any decision I would like to read "LD oracle's" suggestions.

 

Here is what I have:

Pc with 20 Gb Hard disk: 5 for programs and 15 for files

Sound Blaster audio card.

128 Mb Ram

Here is what I need

A recording s.w. mainly for audio (I'm not working with midi files but for effects parameters),

2 inputs may be ok,

at the moment I don't want to have to add a hardware mixer,

I would like to have the chance to work deeply with loops ( that's sure !).

 

Solutions:

Acid (is it a plug in or can be a recording software in itself ?)

Logic Audio, Cubase...?

 

Do you have any comment on using the input a/d converters of the Sound Blaster card ?

 

So, once again, thanks for any contribution.

 

Luca
