Remember when home recording for a guitarist consisted of a four-track cassette PortaStudio—maybe combined with a microphone, a nice drum machine, and a digital effects box? Sure, those are decent recording tools, but wouldn’t it be nice to have equipment that gives you limitless track counts, racks of effects, awesome built-in drums, and virtual bass guitar thrown in with unlimited synth, sampled sounds and textures, mixing, processing, and mastering, with the ability to easily mix the finished product to a CD?
