This allows you to forgo doing your sound design upfront in fear of needing to re-sequence your pattern once you figure out the sounds you imagine. Ableton is also fantastic for creating never before heard sounds using the vast variety of audio and MIDI effects. The ability to manipulate audio and MIDI inside of Ableton is unmatched to say the least and the DAW comes stacked with electronic music inspired samples and instruments.
In the end, it really comes down to personal preference in your workflow when choosing what DAW to use. It is not uncommon to see a producer using 2 or more DAWs on one project. Recording Live Instruments Pro Tools- you get exactly what you want with the straight forward editing and recording functions. Logic Pro X Ableton.
Ableton Pro Tools. Hip Hop Production Ableton- Ableton has great options and tools for sound design and sequencing. It also makes manipulation very fast. Logic Pro X Pro Tools. Scoring to Video Pro Tools- The counter options and additional window for video sold me despite having a limited option for quality stock sounds. Audio Editing Pro Tools- The no frills approach to its tools and grid options allows users to be extremely precise with edits.
Sampling Ableton- Automatic warp and the vast amount of audio effects helps you get the job done the right way fast. Pro Tools Logic Pro X. As you continue on in your music career, you will find what tools work best your workflow. And finally, the top tier. Here, you can record up to tracks in a project! Yeah, I know: all the home recording enthusiasts on a budget are now checking if their teacher friends can blag them this discounted version.
That means no annual renewals, and not asking for money every year. Avid Pro Tools Need to find that perfect beat, groove, style, or sound for your project? Soundbase makes it a snap to browse, search, audition, explore, and experiment with loops, samples, and sound effects from nearly any sound library. OK, these are primarily aimed at very serious home users, and professional producers, so either of these will do an awful lot… not all of it making for a particularly riveting read.
It might be easier to run through what they both do, and then give specifics about what they highlight as their selling points? I think that heads off the generalizations about both products. Well, the elephant in the room of unique identifiers here is that Logic Pro is only available for Mac.
Here are the main things — and yes, there will be similarities to what you read in the last section. Not just contentious, but ultimately, kind of pointless. Most producers will have started using one or the other, and just stick with it, I guess just for simple comfort with the familiar. However, it might be of use to speak to that usability.
I would say that with either Logic Pro or Pro Tools, they both have an intimidating amount of features for a newbie. Where do you even start? A common complaint on Reddit on the matter is that even tutorials about either product are barely intelligible, and are too long. In this respect, I think just getting stuck in and making mistakes is the best way to get to grips with the usability of high-end DAWs that try and cram in a lot of functionality.
Logic Pro is a slick piece of kit. The Smart Tempo is a cool feature, but, like many other pieces of digital innovation in music, it begs the question: does it reduce the skill required to be a good musician? To date, and with lower cost DAWs, you did achieve this on your records by having your drummer play along with a click track, and the rest of the band followed the drummer.
Much like what AutoTune did with vocals. Add in the tiered pricing approach that starts with a free version, and the fact that they offer discounts to schools and teachers, and it basically comes across as more appealing. Logic Pro. Pro Tools. Much of a muchness: of these two, Mac users will probably prefer Logic Pro; Windows users can only use Pro Tools; both will require a similar learning curve. KungFuLio Senior Member.
Messages Any good engineer can make any of these software packages sound good. Choose the best that fits your style. When I work on my own music I use Performer. It has a good interface, great midi capabilities and is rather intuitive. I also like the minimal scoring capabilities it has. When I work on the projects of others it's ProTools. I can only speak wonders for its audio editing ease. It's portable to almost any studio and it just works. Working in DP, Logic and Nuendo there has always been some little hitch or the computer gets crashy or whatever just my experience.
ProTools has been rock solid, run and run and run and run BTW everyone thinks they're only gonna use tracks Unburst Member. Messages 4, If you are looking to get a mac then get Digital Performer and a MOTU interface, if you need digital connections, for great converters.
Messages 9, LSchefman Member. Messages 13, The best thing to do is to try them all, and see what works best for you. Here's why I use Digital Performer: 1. It's a very deep program, with an intuitive and professional interface. It locks to video incredibly well, and has the most advanced interface for scoring to picture. It will do some pretty amazing things with audio using its built in features, its own, and third party plug ins, and integrates other applications extremely well within its operating interface, such as Reason, soft synths, etc, without any problems or hassles.
I started using Performer in , and know it quite well. All that said - it sounds to me like you don't need all of DP's complexity. If I were you, I'd get the simplest, least expensive software, and upgrade to something more complicated if the need arises. For what you're talking about, demos, any of the software packages you've mentioned will work, so why not go the simplest and least expensive route?
Might be fun to see what you can do limiting yourself to only 8 tracks. I think I'd be forced to make better creative decisions, and that I'd actually wind up with better sounding records.
Sometimes I get carried away with doubling this or that, adding "just one more guitar part", etc. Great way to wind up with a mishmash of junk that you later can't understand what the hell you were thinking when you were creating the tune.
I am relearning the benefits of simplicity and clarity in my part-writing and mixing, after all these years of studio work. I tried DP 2. A used G4, an old copy of DP 2. The bass player has a Digi , and if I can get decent results with it and DP, I might go that route instead. That way I would be able to open up sessions that he had done in Pro Tools Le as well. I still need to log in some time on Logic, but the drum editor in DP is very, very nice.
Throw in some decent used monitors and a mic or two, and I should still come in well under my budget limitations. Researching this old gear is actually fun. Before I know it, I might be in the market for an old Atari ST which apparently was quite a machine in its day. Messages 3,
