Thread: Best recording software?

    Best recording software?

    By any chance can anyone give me some input on what they're favorite or what the best audio recording software is? I've heard good things about pro tools and adobe audition.

    Doesn't matter what the best program is. All it comes down to is how well you can use it.

    Re: Best recording software?

    in terms of what? it's all subjective.

    lmao at adobe mentioned in the same breath as pro tools though we're talking about a program that died out a long time ago vs the industry standard.

    In terms of editing pro tools is the best once again my opinion is subjective i've heard people say sonar is better but hey i'm not windows person. Some people stand by nuendo some by cubase

    find what easier to use for you and compliments your work flow

    and no daw makes your quality better so in terms of whats better and whats not once again it's all subjective

    my favorite word of the day is subjective

    for recording, editing, mixing, etc. U heard tru, Protools has complete solutions. Audition and cooledit are shit too, but their depth cannot be compared to protools. But frankly, it dosen't matter that much which software u use.- i use nuendo

    Best recording software?

    It all depends on what your needs are. If you're rapping over a beat you downloaded to post up on the net then go with a free solution. Garage Band on Mac. Reaper or Audacity on Windows.

    If you have real aspirations to learn how to record and mix well enough to use your material for demos and albums then dive into Pro Tools or Cubase. If you're buying recording equipment then get an M-Audio interface and Pro Tools. If you already have a good interface then go with Cubase. Unless you plan on taking your sessions to a real studio. Then you definitely want Pro Tools.

    If you're looking to make beats then you might like something completely different. I prefer Pro Tools for all purposes, but Logic on the Mac is very powerful too. Sonar or FL Studio are popular on the PC. People that record a lot of live MIDI tend to flock toward Logic or Sonar. FL Studio is designed more like a beat machine which is why a lot of people like it for sampling. Also Reason is used a lot on Mac & PC. It's designed to feel more like using rack gear. The downfall of reason is that you can't use 3rd party plugins. But because of that it loads and runs faster than anything else.

    meh at laughing at audition in comparison to protools. both do stuff better than the other, same as any audio program, all have a different workflow and features/limitations which is down to individual preference.

    I can't help but wonder what Audition does better than Pro Tools. Load faster? That's all I can think of.

    Re: Best recording software?

    I just wish protools could be used with other stuff. And why is it that it only works with didgidesign and m-audio stuff anyway?

    Re: Best recording software?

    i suppose "better" is subjective, its just how that program works for you. Personally i find editing "better" in audition, its the best ive used on any daw ive tried, but then i hate its midi, i love cubses midi and beat making bundled software but didnt get along with its windows, i found protools limited somewhat compared to other full daws, ie track counts,

    out of all the daws ive tried (cubase, protools, reaper, audition, sonar) audition has suited me better thus far, thats all there really is to it

    What specifically is better about the editing? You're the first person I've ever heard say that. Most people switch to PT and can't believe how much better the editing is.

    I find it hard to believe that you're using more than 48 audio tracks too. OR own a computer that can even handle mixing more than 48 audio tracks. All this considering I have a Xeon workstation with Mac Pro specs that can't do this. And that I record 5+ piece bands and don't run out of tracks.

    I'm not trying to argue. I'm just trying to understand how you're using your software.

    avid owns digidesign and m-audio and they want you buy only their stuff not to hard of a concept. There are companies like apogee and lynx that have ways around it but alas it's only at the HD level and even then you still have to buy the core card from digi

    Also, they're a hardware company first. They made the software to ship with their hardware. The concept is that it's more stable to run a closed platform program that only works with approved hardware (ie Macs being more stable than Windows PCs).

    And at first, they only sold HD gear which has built in DSPs that works with the software to not use the computer's processing power or memory to run plugins. The HD hardware is where they make their big money. All the other versions are an extension of that.

    My take on this is that M-Audio makes the best hardware anyway.
