What's some good software to get in order to start recording and what do you need to run it? If i wanted to get S2.0 do I need something to run it on like Cubase? Would getting Cubase and S2.0 be a good idea?

So if I get Cubase and S2.0 that will be a solid bunch of programs for recording? Btw your stuff sounds fuckin sick, what do you use?

thanx man! i would say you would be set for recording with that pair, i use nuendo 3 (basically Cubase, same makers) with dfhs for programmed drums.

Well I'm in the process of obtaining Cubase 4 right now. What's better S2.0 or DFH? And if i want DFH is that an add on or standalone?

Start with the free downloadable version of ACID, it's pretty straight forward.

i'm not sure where this program falls in comparison to the ones already mentioned but i use acoustica mixcraft 4.
probably not the best there is but i got it for free and it seems to be working fine for me
ps - i think the program actually costs like $40; it's not actually free

I've been using Sonar for quite a while now. Started back on 6 and am up to 8 now. I used Cubase LE before that and ProTools LE before that. After all that, I'm thinking about jumping ship either back to Cubase or up to Nuendo.
Sonar's tempo/time signature editing just isn't doing it for me. Everything else is okay, but I've missed Cubase since day 1. However, I've heard a lot about bugs in Cubase 4 and 5.
Reaper (http://www.reaper.fm) is also a nice, less expensive candidate.

I ended up going with Reaper, now i just need a quality free drumming program 
How's Hydrogen? Is it any good or should I avoid it and just try and obtain S2.0/EZ drummer + DFH?

I would definitely recommend going with the Toontrack stuff.

I've never tried Hydrogen, but as far as my experience, DFHS or especially EZ Drummer are Easy Mode for doing drums....well, at least for getting the parts there. Mixing is a total other beast.

Alright I'll try to grab EZ drummer + DFH, do you those two programs to make drum tracks and then import those to Reaper?

acoustica makes a drum prog too called beatcraft... i have it and i could hook you up with it if you wanted to try that out. it's incredibly easy to use.

well i got it from a friend that had it and i don't hang out w/ him anymore since i moved...
but this was before i knew the joys of partitioning my hard drive and i ended up having to wipe my hard drive and dfh went bye bye... :-(
that having been said i HIGHLY recommend partitioning your hard drive and keeping an up to date backup image of your C drive...

Hydrogen is pretty easy to use for making drum tracks, but I've never tried mixing with it so I don't know about that departemnt.
Another thing, typing in the stuff is easy, but be prepared to take some time shaping the sounds (it's got built-in tone shaaping options for every drum sample) some sound fine as they are, while others take a bit of work.
