Need software recommendations

[soundprizm]

Hey everyone,

I’m looking for the right software to use in a live setting. If anyone has any ideas, please let me know. The setup would be as follows:

Me, behind my drum set alongside some triggers, an axiom 25, and my rack with my laptop. The setup is triggers–>Alesis DM4 Drum Module–>Tascam US-1641–>Laptop. The axiom 25 going directly into the laptop.

The question is, which software would help me accomplish controlling all the external drum triggers linked to samples on the laptop, but at the same time letting me use the axiom25 as a synth with the trigger pads on it to be used to trigger samples as well.

If I’m posting this in the wrong forum section, I do apologize. Any feedback is greatly appreciated! Thanks!!

Really any of the DAWs on the market should enable you to do this. If on a pc you could try cubase or even a cut down version of it such as cubase LE if you can still get it. If you have a mac then you may already have garageband which is a cut down version of logic.

If you are willing to spend the money and want to do more than just use the rig live but also to setup a home studio I would recommend going for the full version of the software as they will give you more features but for simply hosting vst instruments then I guess the lite versions would work out fine.

There is also reaper which is less expensive than cubase but I have no experience of it myself.

Cheers

Rob
