I looked seriously at the offerings from Radar, Mackie, and Tascam. I did consider all the popular softwares that we commonly see bandied about in the discussion pages here on ProRec. I got demos. I stopped into booths at trade shows and had the pros demo the products for me. After checking the possibilities I decide that there are three systems that interest me.
None are particularly cheap when considered just in the light of dollar cost.
But all three are good values given what one receives for the dollar spent. I picked SADiE Artemus, Paris, and SAWStudio as my 'Final Three'. I know that SADiE is where I would like to be. This would be a huge leap for my business. Just having SADiE would be worth a few thousand dollars each year to my bottom line.
