1. sound card for laptop ( You can use the one it came with for play back no problem)
2. why do I need a workstation for intruments when I have already purchased them from PG music? (You don't need one it came free >RealBand)
3. Why cant I play and do all this throgh my laptop? (You Can!)
4. why do I need to buy a seperate eq to mix and playback? (They come with RealBand)
5. why do I need a workstation to play thourhg?,,No need, make a CD of your finished track and play to that at your Gig!
6. why do I need, to buy cakewalk now? arent these a competitor of PG music? why dont they fix thier sh*t? (You don't need it that's what RealBand is! Some people just like a certain brand and use them. There are people who use only PG products and still sound as good as those who use other brands.)
7. Why do I need to piece together all this damn software, purhase more hardware for sampled intruments that I have already purchased from PG music? (No need to purchase anything else, but there is a learning curve for software!)
8. why is this so hard? do any of these people think? or is music arranged and playbacked differently from overseas offshoring support and develoipment? (PG programs are very easy compared to many others, it still takes time to learn. I think many people just entering recording with software are as frustrated as you. Ask a question in the forum of the product you are using and you will get answers.)
