Do you need to have a DAW or can it work as a stand-alone? Thanks!

You will have to use a DAW to operate for sure. It's not a stand alone. I also notice other comments to this regards. Good luck, Merry Xmas!

I use REAPER, I tried to load the Sonar CD and my computer spit it out, if that happens, it means it's garbage. There are a lot of DAW's on the market, you can use anyone you want, but if you want my recommendation, REAPER all the way.

it's a hardware sampler, meaning it doesn't use midi to control any sounds, it has it's own sounds. you could record into reason (or any DAW, I use Fl) using an interface.

Added thought... I want to use Audacity software to help with the conversion. Again, any thoughts? Thanks!

It comes with a lite version of ableton I believe. You can upgrade to the standard and the suite later on. You can start making music out of the box.

I can only say it works smoothly with Cakewalk's Sonar Producer, my DAW. (The new "improved" Sonar is called X3, I think.) You'll likely have to make a couple phone calls to Presonus for setup, but once it works it keeps on working. The trick is to get a specialized computer (no antivirus needed, etc.) for DAW work and never connect it to the internet.

It comes with a set of instructions on how to make it work with several different types of software (fl studio, ableton live etc etc). All you really need is said software.

Definitely! Like any professional portable audio recorder you can record individual tracks in either mp3 or wav format and bring them into any audio program like pro-tools, to layer them, mix and export a finalized audio track. However, if your question is whether you can do that directly from the recorder, no not really. You would always get a better mix from a stand alone audio program like pro tools anyway. Hope this helps!

This program will function to your needs. I know people whom spend a lot of money on DAW software, and expect professional results. The true aspect is what you need and the price you will pay. Samplitude Music Studio is competitive and produces great results....pending on the users experience.

It needs to be plugged into a computer, hooked to either a DAW or plugin with MIDI support. It can't be used by itself.

It works in lots of programs set as an midi. What daw (music software) are you using?

It depends on what you want to do with it in a home studio. I'd guess that the lack of buses kinda preclude using it in a traditional recording manner - where you have multiple sources that you're feeding to some sort of recording system. What are you looking to do?

You can certainly tweak, create and edit your own patches using the MinoNova interface, but it isn't recommended because it's not the most user friendly environment do it in. The DAW software acts as a bonus to alleviate bouncing around sub menus.

Yes, you can connenct is as a Master keyboard. It's not a DAW controller. The keyboard is amazing. Enjoy it.

You need to install all the needed drivers. Once you do that, you should be able to see the podgx as a ASIO capable sound source in your DAW. You don't need a built in mic on your pc. You do need something to plug into the podgx such as an electric guitar.

I am sorry, I don't have experience with those applications. I use this on my music recording studio to which it really makes work within the DAW quick and easy so creative juices aren't stalled - get right to work immediately.
