I'd say - and this is IMO.
Use cubase with something like Kontakt sampler.
I've been using EMU with 12 outs for ages and I needed a bit more scope - instead of upgrading the sample I just got a s/w sampler.
They really are good !!

Rik, thanks for the advice.
At the moment I have available:
Sonic Foundry
Acid Pro
Cubase
Cool Edit 2000
Wavelab
I am not sure how to use these in conjunction with one another.
I especially wanted to know how to create a drum loop in Acid or Cubase?
very steep learning curve for me! (in fact almost vertical!)
thanks for all your repsonses!

At Unborn Records we're software-only producers. In the 13 years we've been
producing (under various aliases) we've always been software-based. Even
back in the days when we produced using just Amiga computers, samplers and
shitty tapedecks we've only really used software. There's nout wrong with
this - infact, to re-iterate a point i've heard time and again from
amateur's & pro's & elite producers alike - it doesn't matter what you use
to make music, if it sounds good it IS good.
In answer to your question : we use the following software :
- Sonic Foundry Acid Pro
- Cakewalk Pro
- Cool Edit 2000 (Syntrillium Software)
- Fast Tracker
- OctaMED SoundStudio (RBF Software)
- Vienna Sound Font Studio
There are so many good bits of software out there, I feel it is not
worthwhile to go for the most popular (as this may not mean you get anything
good out of it), instead try out demo products until you find the best ones
for your individual needs.
9/10 times I think it is ease of use that decides the best software for you.
