Dave, what is your new recording rig?


Hey Dave. I know you got rid of the digi 001 so what took its place. I am curious on what you decided to go with. Last I heard you where leaning away from Protools.

Re: Dave, what is your new recording rig?


I haven't decided yet. I'm waiting to see what comes out at Namm. I still have PT up and running on an Mbox to do small recording projects, but I've also been testing Nuendo, DP and Logic to see how I like working with them. We'll see.

@ the studio I work @ every now and then they use SADIE. It's a really hot program and it's REALLY easy to edit.

Re: Dave, what is your new recording rig?


I keep hearing, from more and more, that LOGIC is THE way to go, especially if you've already bought good Pre's. I just don't have a new mac to run it & try it out. Though I've also heard, the learning curve on it is HUGE!

Re: Dave, what is your new recording rig?


Almost all of us here we'll do fine with Logic Express and ProTools LE, only if you are thinking in a BIG formal project moving to ProTools or Logic would be a yes, so, the curve will be not so steep.

I'm not digging Logic Pro so far.. the idea of connecting multiple computers to share CPU is great, but the functionality of it is a bit cumbersome. So far, nothing is as user-friendly as PT.

Re: Dave, what is your new recording rig?


Correct me if I am wrong but isn't Protools the industry standard? If this be the case doesn't it make good since to master it since the majority of the studios use it? And your right Dave. I have tried most all of them except logic, and PT is the most user friendly. Must be why they are number one in the studios. Less training time.

Re: Dave, what is your new recording rig?


Yeah PT is the industry standard but many engineers criticize the quality of the mix buss. These days, HD is vastly improved and has satisfied most engineers' sonic standards. But the buss in LE still stucks. That (and track count) is why more people are going to Nuendo, Cubase, DP, Logic, etc.

But, if you can get around the buss in LE, it's still great and so user-friendly. Whenever I use it, I never use the "Bounce To Disc" function.

For the non engineer minded of us, what is "buss"?

Re: Dave, what is your new recording rig?


In the instance I was talking about, the stereo mix buss is the path that all of your tracks within a session go down to be put into a stereo (left-right) output. In many DAW's, the "Master Fader" controls the output of the summed tracks. To get all your tracks into a stereo file to be put onto a cd, they must be "bounced." In lower end DAW's, the Bounce path causes sonic degradations. Luckily, DAW's bounce/master fader paths are becoming sonically better and better.

Re: Dave, what is your new recording rig?


Hello Dave,

I've been recording for the last few years with either SONAR 3 or SONAR 4.
I think it works pretty well.
Is there a huge difference between SONAR and Pro Tools?
Should I upgrade?

Thank you.

I haven't tried Sonar. PT is cake to use and to most people's ears, sounds as good and better than anything else. Most people don't know what to listen for anyway. Try it and see if you like it better than Sonar.

Re: Dave, what is your new recording rig?


I personally dont like Sonar really, and only one major studio uses Pro Tools in the cities around me, and its not even fully built yet.

Pro Tools really is top of the range though, even if a little pricey. Logic is cool too, but I found that if I added too many tracks it would crash, usually a PC problem but one I havent experienced using other software.

If you're new to recording I'd say try your hand at Cubase. Its not the best, but its a great way to get started and you can still do some great stuff on it.

Hi, why are you saying that Cubase isn't a good choice?? My guitar teacher used it before Nuendo came. And if I say that my guitar teacher is Ihsahn from Emperor, it speaks for itself that you definitely can make som great stuff on it!!
