12/31/2022 0 Comments Cubase vs pro toolsIm going to look into cube base or buy a mac I guess. I purchased PTLE and am using a HP media center 3400 AMD athlon with i.5 gig of ram plenet of spped and power to run most programs NO problem.Spent a day loading the protools software and bundle onto my computer.Spent 2 hrs on hold waiting for a tech on my dime to get support for the new set up.found out that even though using windows XP on a blazing fast computer ! Digidesign was incompatible with my SIS chipset.The tech basically said get a new Motherboard.I went to their support site and you would belive the items they have under both windows and mac that make a great deal to the performance of the LE product.Thats possibly why your computer crashed luke.So even though it says it will run on XP or Mac first see what your computer has in it.and call s the fine print that allways comes back and gives a little nibble on the leg. Spend some time learning the basics and see if they fit your personal taste and workflow.Yes I have a coment on the guy whose computer crashed using pro tools. I think the advice above - that you download demos of the ones you are considering and actually try them - is good advice. I think the quality of your ad/da is far more important to the sound than the DAW software. Some people swear there is an audible difference between them. Each have strengths and weaknesses and each lends itself to a slightly different workflow. can offer no useful comparison (even CPUs have been said to make a sonic difference). Cubase generally does, and its midi capability is, as far as I can tell, the most comprehensive.Įvery DAW has it's own flavor. I just want to add that Pro Tools may sound great when used by Engineer 'A', but Engineer 'Bs' effort in a different facility, using different material, different audio cards, different plug-ins and on different monitors, etc. I find Ableton intuitive and easy to create with, but it is really targeted at loop-based production, which doesn't really suit my particular workflow. I added Ableton a few years ago because many of the DJs I work with used it. I've tried many others since then and keep coming back to Cubase for one reason or another. The "which one is beset" question always generates roughly the same answer - "the one I use." The better question is which one would be best for you? ![]() Personally out of the two it would be Cubase but I do a lot of midi work so I'm biased. If it was between Protools and Cubase and you were strictly working with audio I'd pick Protools (hate to say that btw) but Cubase (Pro) is no slouch in the audio mixing dept either. So between the two I'd say Cubase hands down. People argue workflow, but in the latest versions of Cubase you can tell they looked over their shoulder at S1 and added a lot of the same workflow features. As far as features and stability Cubase is way ahead of it (midi editing, mixer, notation software, etc). Studio One apparently has one or some coders that used to work at Steinberg coding Cubase thus its Cubase'esque nature. So what do you guys use, and what do you like/hate about it ?ĭave Kendall wrote:I'm familiar with ProTools, but as I'm semi-retired from sound engineering, I no longer need compatibility with the largest number of post-pro houses and recording facilities. I have just enough hardware, so that soft synths and plugins aren't the main reason for getting it. I may need to master in it as well, at least for some projects. Quite a bit of sound design will happen too. I'll want to record live drums and other acoustic instruments into it, and will want to write, arrange, mix and remix in it. Studio One has some nice workflow features, but I don't know any users.įor what I need a DAW for, I'm a keyboard player, so not hugely bothered about extensive MIDI features - I can play parts in easily enough. ![]() Reaper is sadly out, due to it's incompatibility with the 01v96i. Logic hasn't appealed to me the few times I've used it, but that may be down to lack of hours on type.ĭigital Performer is an unknown to me since a friend and her rig moved away back in 2008. I would just go with PT, but AVID's corporate policy is predatory to say the least, particularly with the new leasing arrangements, and I think the gap between PT and others has closed massively or disappeared in terms of functionality and quality.Ĭubase is used by at least one person I may be collaborating with, but doesn't turn me on, although it seems solid and has integrated melodyne, which is a big plus. I'm familiar with ProTools, but as I'm semi-retired from sound engineering, I no longer need compatibility with the largest number of post-pro houses and recording facilities.
