mooney: have you ever used Logic: 'Mainstage'? i thought about buying Logic because of that for gigging... but I havn't tried it out...
recently bought Cubase 5 so it kinda sucks to buy Logic now... know of any other programs that do what mainstage does?

i haven't used mainstage. I hear that it is very good, from reviews etc... personally i dont really know what it is or what its supposed to do. Cubase 5 is meant to be great too.

I might do a little research on mainstage and see if i cant find a suitable use for it.

EDIT: did some youtube browsing. seems pretty fuckin' awesome actually. I haven't played live in about 2 years but when i do mainstage look like the shit!

I bought me a podhd500 last week! Really love it so far! I'm not much of a programmer or something so I just use Kristal to record guitar parts! Not too complicated, haha. Altough the podhd500 has so much options.... it probably would take me quite some time to get comfortable with it!

Ive now got an iMac, Logic Pro 9 as my recording software, a Line 6 studio ux2 Audio Interface and I have an M-Audio 61 key MIDI controller arriving on friday. Then after that all i need for now is some good monitors (budget though).

I have almost the exact same set-up. I use express instead of pro it does everything I need it to do and I use a Yamaha MIDI keyboard. Dunno if you got sorted with monitors but these are mine, a good bit of bang for your buck. http://www.amazon.co.uk/M-Audio-Studiophile-Av40-Monitor-Speakers/dp/B000RPT0UE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1291475591&sr=8-1
