What is a pious set of copy equipment and software?

I've been interested in tape music for a while but never done the research into it, any tips of what to look for and prices. Or really just any info. Thanks!
Answers:
Since you said software, I would assume you will be using a computer, PC probably. I would recommend the presonus 8 track if you would ever record a drum set. If not, then any interface would do for a one or two mic set. For software walk with Cubase or Logic. Logic if you don't plan a big project (easier to use and about matching quality).
I personally swear by Steinberg's Cubase and M-Audio products.

I would recommend looking into software, audio interface, midi grand piano and monitors. Your requirements would dictate the total price.

Do the research because there are a few companies out there who do starter packages for home cassette. It will be worth it.

I am currently thinking of getting a personal loan just so I can upgrade my home studio! Ha ha! I'm talking thousands though! Source(s): You. Below. Cubase IS Vista compatible. Cubase 5 I'm not sure of though... I run SX3 and 4 fine.
I did a lot of research past deciding on the Digidesign M-Box Mini, which comes with the current interpretation of Pro Tools. My computer runs Vista, which isn't yet supported by Digidesign, but I checked all the musicians' message boards online and found out nation were able to run Pro Tools contained by Vista without any major issues.

Musician's Friend have customer reviews that are really helpful in decide which interface and software are best for you. I was going to use a PreSonus interface that came beside Cubase software, but Cubase won't run on Vista. My brother, who owns a recording studio, talked me into going beside the M-Box Mini because it comes with ProTools. He says it's merely a good idea to use ProTools software because it's considered the industry standard. With my home setup, I'm competent to record things to my external hard drive and afterwards send them to him for mastering, since the systems are completely compatible.

If I were you, I'd spend some time tooling around musiciansfriend.com and looking at the demo packages available. I got my M-Box Mini from an online seller for $275 (Musician's Friend have it for less than $300). If you want monitors and microphones, there are a great deal of bundled packages available for a few hundred dollars, as well. Once you look around at what's available you'll be able to diminish down your choices to suit your needs. But I think my brother is right in the order of going with ProTools if possible. I've prearranged a few bands who've switched from Garage Band and Cakewalk to ProTools, since the latter is the only one used surrounded by professional studios. And it's still very user friendly. Good luck!
