The systems of recording of audio residents in a computer provide an enormous edition capacity by their flexibility and graphical representation to us of the signal that we can have in a monitor. We can, besides to listen, “to see” what we recorded and from that image, begin to work in the edition.

She is almost infinite the amount of recording systems and plates of audio that we can find, mainly for the PC. There am a possible advantage here since to the salary more supply the costs of products for this format is lower. Pro Tools, of the Digidesign company is one of the systems preferred around the world.

Until now, the Mac was the favourite, as well, of Pro Tools and for her it designed the most complete equipment. Lately already they have appeared also for the PC, so we do not have excuse and I believe that we must take very into account at the time of choosing our system of recording, this data.

These systems to which we are talking about, as much Digidesign as Aardvark, Soundscape, Metalithic, Event Leyla, Ensonic etc, etc. are based on an external module plus a plate in the computer. In the module are the analogical and digital entrances and exits. The plate, for of nexus between the PC and the external module and the tendency has been the use of technology PCI mainly with the arrival of Pentium II as well.

Finally we will name systems of more complete and expensive recording and edition than is also closed, since the processor (PC for example) comes built-in to the integrated system, which consists of console, disc (or unit of information storage) and monitor. Otari, Fairlight, Soundlink, to name some of the marks that produce this type of exquisite machines.
