What I've used most of my home recording life on the computer is Sonar 5 with a Tascam FW 1804 Firewire interface. It's always been fine for what I do, except the computer is nearly 20 years old, is slow as hell, blue screens, crashes, etc. No problem, just got an Acer with SSD 512GB hard drive, 8 gig ram, i5 processor. Good enough for what I do. The problem is that I don't know if Sonar 5 will work with Windows 10 and my Firewire interface is...well...obsolete.
Was thinking of getting a PreSonus - AudioBox iTwo Recording System which comes with Studio One Artist. My question is that this seems like low end stuff, but how would it compare to my current, what USED to be high end recording gear. We all know that current cheap stuff can actually be better than old time top of the line stuff, lol. Opinions? Cash is tight, so $160 doesn't seem bad at all if it can be equal to or better than what I have currently, which only works with Windows XP.
If you listen to my songs linked below, you'll see that the heaviest I do is your typical effects, and midi recording so the recorded performance drives the outboard synth...unless the synths in the Studio One are as good or better.
