Hows it goin. I'm required to get a pro tools equipped power book with an M-Box for school. I'm not too familiar with the Pro Tools interface (used for a little kinda confusing) I am a Fan of the Cubase interface however and I am a little more familiar with it.
I will have Pro Tools LE no matter what. but if I go out and buy Cubase would I be throwing my money away. I know that Pro Tools is considered "the industry standard". Does anyone have any opinions about these two programs?? (and what about Logic I've never even touched a systen with logic and I know nothing about it's capabilities) *edit* oh yeah I should also tell you that I am goin to school for Music Production and engineering / Music Synthesis. which means that I will be doing alot of Live audio. as well as Midi (I have to have almost every NI suite) so I need good audio and good midi I think This post has been edited by slowintrepid: Wed 21 Jan 2004, 08:10 |

I'm on my 3rd sequencer and here's what I've learned so far:
It's best to have the one that suits your computer - Mac or PC. Steinberg is a PC first company - meaning that if you run it on a Mac you can expect to always be a step behind the PC guys in terms of stability and bug fixes. Steinberg's reputation for poor customer service is legendary. (see their forums). Still, it is very sophisticated software. For example, you can quantize a group of notes and then days later unquantize one note in the middle of the group, without effecting any of the others. That is an incredible feature. Logic and DP are Mac based. Not sure about Pro Tools. Historically Pro Tools has a reputation as an audio app, not a midi one. Logic is highly regarded, better than DP in CPU economy - and now that Apple has it - incredibly expensive. DP is a smaller company, somewhat slow to keep up with the marketplace (AU and virtual instruments) - but runs really smoothly on a Mac and has quality customer service. There are general statements, of course, based on my own experiences and opinions. |
