I was thinking, if I save for a macbook pro, which might be easier when I use that as my studio computer what would be better, a pod 2 or a M-audio fast track pro, like DavidMeShow uses. Since the M-audio one has input for midi too, to record like drums or bass trough a midi keyboard. What would be better in quality? You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Fasttrack is a better sound card that's for sure, more quality one, but you don't get any modeling options. Also MIDI input is not that important, almost all todays MIDI controllers come with USB MIDI interface as well. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

I'll personally go for something similar to the fasttrack. I'm planning on switching to Logic Audio and the guitar modeling inside is really goo I think. Plus the Macbook will give you plenty of power to run your guitar through any kind of modeling soft... You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

I know that you can't "model" inside the Fasttrack. If I save from now on, I can probably get a MacBook for my Birthday in July. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

I've been on PCs all my life. But I really like the user friendlyness of Macs and their reliability. At least that how it seems to me! You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

It costs around 250$, but you get ProTools LE, and other software with it. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

Pretty certain that the fast track makes use of this but I'm not sure about the Pod2 - would be worth checking just in case Jesse. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

I'm on the Imac now, but I have to say I'm not so fond of it. It looks cool, the visuals are nice, sound is ok, but it handles a lot less... Everything works with Windows now-a-days! So opening WMV video files? not possible... paint? not on this thing... You can get everything to work, but it takes quite some time cause you'll need 200 programs to convert al windows things so you can watch then with your fancy mac xD Why should you buy a mac? because of the superb quality? with the money for an macbook you can buy a very decent windows computer I'm not saying Mac sucks, I just mean... it's not only rainbows and butterfies (maroon 5 that is ) You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
