I'm a musician that is looking to record audio on my mac. I'm also a designer so I have a couple macs, and am looking for a way to record audio through usb or firewire, not a pc card. I want to be able to move. I'm also looking for a scaleable solution so I can start out slow and grow into software with more features. Any ideas or suggestions?

logic audio
you can start with a lower end logic, then upgrade too your needs (logic platinum being the top)
logic, cubase and protools are the main players in pro-audio software.
to record via usb or firewire, you can get extrenal soundcard/hubs and midi boxes, though things start getting very expensive at this point.

i use a pc for multitracking, but the software and hardware are available for both platforms. personally, i use an Edirol (roland division) UA-5 USB break-out box ($300) as my audio interface which i run a behringer eurorack mx-602A ($60 for 6 channels!) mixer into. this does not allow me to record more than two mono (or one stereo) tracks at once, however, so it might not be what you're looking for. software wise, i've fallen in love with cubase sx ($600 or $300 for the limited edition). zero latancy VST instruments (especially steinberg's LM-4 drum machine, $50) are a godsend.

I was looking at either Cubase or Logic. Does anyone know the names of the started systems on either platforms, adn the approximate prices? Also didn't Apple buy Logic?

prices??!!
get yo'self onto kazaa.com and do some downloading!!!
i use cubase too - easy to use and very 'visual'.
i've played with a few other similar programs (which others seem to love) but i just love the simplicity of cubase.keep it simple ;)
