This is funny to me because I totally fell in love with studio one 2 years ago and I have no complaints whatsoever about it so it’s interesting to see your point or view!
He didn’t explain why he doesn’t like it at all. Studio one has macros aka custom actions. He seems like more of a tinkerer than a music producer or serious mixer.
It was basically the same for me with Reaper: at first I did find it a bit confusing, but with time I found that it could do everything the other DAW's can, plus a little more.
Just my opinion and my experience! I was a Cubase-User for more than 20 years and since version 4 I use Studio One and love it. Not to mention that they give you great feature updates for free.
3:55 macOS is actually based on a Un*x-flavour (FreeBSD with a modified kernel, called Mach). Because of this they share a lot of commonalities with Linux and other Posix compliant systems. Anyway... the other possible DAW that exists for Linux is Bitwig (or Renoise, but that is more like a tracker [which I love]).
This needs a 2019 update! Logic Pro X is my main DAW but I recently added Studio One 4.5 to my arsenal and it is MUCH more than what you give credit for. The Sampler alone is one of the best ive ever used. The mastering plugins are very efficient and powerful. In fact, as it stands right now, The one two punch of LPX and ST1 4.5 is a match made in heaven! They compliment each other very well! Personally, ive had it with Avid! I noticed many Pro Tools users seem to be jumping to Studio One, in fact, this is why I looked into it! The reviews on the Presonus DAW are steadily positive. It was a little over a year ago when this video was posted and A LOT has changed since then for several DAWs… It would be nice to see an up to date retake of this topic. How much longer can Pro Tools hold onto a title they no longer live up too! Logic Pro X is now the most powerful DAW in the industry by a mile with the 10.4.5 update.
I have used Cakewalk Sonar v7 and v8 Then moved to Logic 9 Then to Studio One And finally found the love of my life REAPER. Once you give it a try and learn JUST the basics, you'll fall in love like forever!!
He wisely said it, if your DAW does what you need it to do, and your happy with it, stick with it. Being I'm by no means an expert on DAW recording , Studio One works great for me. I'm very happy with the latest Version. I've heard Reaper is excellent too.
@@realmusic4you you only hear this kind of stuff from two kids of people: the ones who haven't tried REAPER, and the ones who weren't smart or patient enough to take a few minutes to learn how to make it the custom work horse it is designed to be. It's the only DAW that lets you put everything you need an do at your fingertips and get everything else out of the way. I've been using different DAWs since ProTools was the only one, then Cubase, Cakewalk and Logic came along, but didn't even have version numbers yet. There's nothing like REAPER, not only in the world of DAWs, but in all of software. I've done graphic design, video production and music since the 90s, and I wish there had been a REAPER in all of those fields. I could have tripled my income. You don't learn REAPER so much as you teach it to work for you. It's a complete paradigm shift. Some people just aren't ready to live free.
I can understand why some DAW'S not fit to your workflow. Their core business is different to how you work. I'm still a big fan of Studio One I learned to work in it within a month. and I'm curious what will be in the new version that will come out this year!
I have been using Studio One since version 2 and still have it on my main DAW in my commercial studio. 4.5 is a disaster for me. They took away the highlight feature for grouped tracks in in the Track View (not on the timeline) and now the Input Level on the tracks disappears when the track is in record mode..unless you have the monitor on and then the monitor function only comes down the outputs. And the fonts have gotten so small that one my large desktops systems its annoying, but on the mobile rig that is laptrop driven its next to impossible to read. Terrible update. Looks like Presonus is now catering more to the beat makers than the serious recording studios.
I just love to see all the people confirming what I've discovered with REAPER. I have to admit, I originally started using it for the price. I had used everything at one point or another, was currently using Logic, but was getting into voice over, and it was too clunky and I was broke because of health issues. When I wrote Cockos and told them that I was intending on using REAPER for charity and explained by situation, they sent me a key! I was blown away. Then, I started to get to know REAPER. And, wow! What an amazing thing it is. I find myself wishing that Cockos would write software for everything now. Browsers, graphic design, word processors, everything. I think that every software developer should have to intern at Cockos before they're allowed to release code for sale. It's not just the best DAW, it's the model that all software should follow.
Reaper is just hard to learn. If you love to tinker, or have a programmer’s mind, it is perfect. If I enjoyed configuring my DAW as much as I like playing with sound, it would rank higher for me. That said, for single source recording and edits for quick turnaround, nothing works faster.
Finally someone see the same problems with Protools I saw. I just went through the same journey of choosing a new DAW and choose Abelton. what is your main computer you use for your sessions ?
Only just watching this in May - would love to see what you think of Studio One 4.5. They seem to be working hard towards gaining the Pro Tools community. Coming from Reason 10 as my first DAW, Studio One complements it and expands what I can do, and I love the workflow so far.
Have you ever considered Tracktion Waveform? I tried the free older version recently, and was pleasantly surprised how much I liked it, coming from Studio One. Tempo curves, full wire-based routing of plugins, a chord track system, and a few other features really caught my attention.
For awhile after seeing your videos on other DAWs, I started to second guess how much of a fit Ableton Live would be for you, but now Im starting to second guess that second guessing, hahaha. Especially after your talked about Logic, because a lot of people I know that use it, have switched to Live. So Im still excited for you to try it and I cant wait to see the results.
Its different for all.. Depends what you want to achieve , and how you get there. Most Logic users I know, have and always will be. Live cant do what they need to do... I also imagine the instant gratification Live gives you (in some sense) is why people love it. Well , fact is, there is competition.. competition in sales... user base... But for me , there is no competition. Logic . Started with Pro24, then onto Cubase 1 & 2 on Atari Mega 4, Cubase VST PC, 5VST Mac, SX, SX2.... Logic 6.. Been there since. PT for Post... Ableton for fun and Live.....
I've noticed a lot of freelancers work with Reaper, but hardly any studios have it. Studios still want to use mainly Pro Tools and Logic Pro. Some others use FL studio and Ableton Live. Then there are a few that prefer Cubebase, Sonar, and Reason.
While at university they made me use Protools because it was suppose to be the best DAW ever, then because of life I had to switch to Cubase, Logic and Adobe Audition, I kind of dig them but weren't that amazin. When I met Reaper it was just the love ending story, REAPER is not a DAW, REAPER IS THE DAW
03:55 You're almost right. Mac OSX is a unix-based system, and Linux is also a unix-based system. Usually things translate pretty effortlessly between the different kinds of unix systems. Software written for Linux can be used on FreeBSD or Solaris or whatever.
When you say pro tools, do you mean the HD with the dsp cards or the native? And have you tested the difference between the DSP with pro tools and without DSP ?? I did a test a few years back when running pt 7 with and without dsp and the difference was huge.
Ardour can't work for most people because it doesn't have delay compensation on utility busses, which makes it useless for most of us. I hear there's a git that was released that Harrison Mixbus is incorporating into a future update which does put delay compensation on utility busses, so we're not going to be limited to just the 8 or 12 mix busses that do have PDC.
Yes! It's a great journey to try out which DAW is the best for you and your projects. I was on the same path few months ago. I started with Sony Acid 7 (I mean Sonicfoundry Acid Pro 4 back then) (bummer) then I bought Pro Tools 9 four years ago. Then I sold them because the workflow and the bugs (most cases in Acid) was very annoying. Out of date features, not compatible with many plugins... etc. Sony never gived a f*ck for answering our requests. They sold the whole licence to Magix. I tried Cubase, Sonar, and S1. In my case the best choice was Studio One. I make music in the box, and few times tracking vocals, and guitars, and mastering. I found it very stable, and very inspiring, and I have to say, really love the workflow. It's fast, everythings is under my hands, drag and drop style which is awesome, the stock plugins are very useable, and it handles the 3rd party vst-s and vsti-s correctly. So I stayed with S1. I really hope Presonus won't give up developing S1. Big thumbs up to your channel. I wish you the best and keep up the good work! Simon B.
If Reaper had the Studio One Appearance i think there would be no contest; I've used both but kept Reaper even though it doesn't look as sexy. But I can fix that. In comparison, Studio One is how many times more expensive than reaper, even Reaper commercial and yet - and yet, Reaper kicks it's ass! Even from the trial version - which is complete with NO restrictions, I must say I only miss Studio One's VST library the most that was awesome for an in-house set up; apart from that no crashes now, before with Studio One it was like being with a drunk on the highway.
Hallo. Nice similar journey to mine: came from Cubase (fed up with performance, didn't want to upgrade and hated the dongle), tried Studio One (visually the most pleasing DAW ever) but found it to be too limited for me, but decided to keep an eye on future versions. Ended up with REAPER. Stable, fast and very very customizable, which does take some time but will eventually save you lots of time! Goed bezig.
Not trying to be a dick at all but mac os is BSD not linux. Also, mixbus is based off of ardour so check that out. I personally use mixbus for stem mixing and samplitude for editing.
Congratulations. It is a beautiful and difficult decision to change DAW. Reaper's so powerful, you can get lost in it. Many Protools users are switching to Reaper right now. For 60 bucks, I understand. Continue to surprise us. I love your channel. So refreshing.
Have been using studio one for years. V4 brings aaf export and better i/o for hardware. The only limit i know of is missing surround mixing and no sandboxing for third party plugins, which is a big one. Soundtoys and softube is behaving poorly in s1 and isnt even a supported daw even thought their support forums have been complaining for years... Would love to know what you think about it and why you dont like it?! For me there is no other daw i like to use. Stable as hell, except the above mentioned plugins, and super fast. Love tracking with plugins and low latency. Love the drag and drop and flexible routing. Reaper otoh is a mess of settings and ugly design flaws making me feel like im in windows..
I used Reaper for about 4 years. Best DAW for the money. That said, Studio One fits my workflow much better. And that's what it really is all about, which DAW works the way you want to work. I'm not saying Studio One is the best, but it is the best for me.
I might have missed it if you talked about it, but any thoughts on Adobe Audion, or can it be used as DAW? For video people on premier its a handy options because it obviously works so well with Premier Pro. Any thoughts? Thanks.
I'm just a home studio user, but I have recorded 8 albums using Audition. LOVE it, but it does have a lot of issues with plugin usage and glitching. I am looking to make a switch to something that can handle software synths as well as audio waves, but I love the ease Audition has with editing audio waves, so I'm dragging my feet.
I guess we could go down a really endless debate here! I'll just express what i think from my experience: I've been working on pro tools for about 10 years now and after 2 weeks using S1 I've come to the conclusion that it is far more stable, responsive and easy to use (maybe a bit too much). There's a bunch of features I do dislike (or miss from PT) but overall I'm objectively enjoying it. I would have to give S1 a try on some professional film post production for features/docs/shorts (wonder if any of you guys out there have) which is my main field of work were I do feel comfortable inside PT and have managed to handle and finish some big projects in the past (Timecode, framerates, sync, codecs, surround layouts,etc) Other than that, for music mixing, tracking and mastering S1 has been a pretty enjoyable & productive time.
wow. the studio one rant really blows me..literally described my experience with protools and others if anything..studio one is the opposite of what he says for me all i see is no limitations, no walls, bugs, or slow downs
.Studio One is Limited ? i think you are missing big time on one of best DAW's outhere. Lots of tutorials to help you find your way. Best Of Luck in any DAW you choose
been using reaper for years...used to hang out with the dudes that developed that stuff in chat rooms before youtube and facebag and the internet started to suck lol.
You should check out Digital Performer after you run Logic through it's paces. I originally used DP as a front end to a ProTools system, then just gave up on Pro Tools because DP had so much more going for it, and other hardware was much better than what Digi/Avid put out (I use Metric Halo hardware). It will require a good amount of trial & error. It's a very deep DAW.
Reaper is a more than capable DAW and would be a great choice for someone who is more mixing focused, but Logic is great for Production with it's plethora of Virtual instruments. Avid just Sucks I have a HDX2 system that hasn't been turned on in 2 years unless a client rents the studio and uses it. Ardour is the engine for many other DAW's Harrison Mixbus & Waves Tracks Live (Live Audio Recorder). Ardour is a very interesting DAW with Pre & Post fader plugins like Cubase but it has the same problem most open source software does it has no Marketing. The background of Mac is 100% NOT Linux it is BSD/Unix the Darwin Kernel and Unix operating system of Apple's OSX/MacOS, Mobile iOS, and variants are not in anyway affiliated with Linux. Despite Linux being a variant replacement for Unix as a cheaper cost efficient variant. Think of Linux as a cover version of the original song Unix but with it's own melody and new lyrics.
Awesome to see that you liked REAPER so much (in caps because I like to do it :v), let's change the industry standard! Ardour it's also a very good choice as it was made since the beginning as a Pro Tools free software alternative (as open source) for Pro Tools users. Btw, what about doing a video about antialiasing and how the plugins you know the most use it? Something I really like about TDR plugins is how they use the antialiasing.
As much as Reaper's interface is just meh to me and I'd love to use S1 or Cubase or some sexy daw, Reaper just works. Any interface, any plugins, whatever. It's fast under the hood and bulletproof.
Studio One is cool..but there are limitation..its limiter is a bit sh*t ..routing is a bit limited too for example if you want to do parrallel compression
Definitely need to learn Pro Tools, but I crack up when people think Logic is basic and then I see videos where other DAW’s have updates for things that Logic has had for years.
Pro Tools: is it like Quark of the 90's? Back then for graphics design Quark software was like Microsoft. But now Quark is almost unknown. Pro Tools wouldn't be the first juggernaut of an industry to evaporate.
I was in graphic design when InDesign first came out, and it was the Quark killer. I tried to tell everyone, and I converted several companies to InDesign, but the first version of InDesign was at least as good as Quark, and by v.2, it killed it. It was funny because I was friends with the CEO of Quark, and they kept trying to woo me to keep it on the desktop in the departments I was running. No one believed me when I told them InDesign was going to make Quark obsolete. Just like they didn't believe me when, after years of supporting the crappy Mac OS, OS X Public Beta came out, and I told everyone that Apple was going to become the hugest company ever because you could see the foundation for what they did in the music, entertainment, and computing industries. Now, I'm telling everyone to get to know REAPER. ProTools is officially killed. Nothing will even touch REAPER in two year. Nothing does now, but you'll be hard pressed to find a studio that doesn't use it, so learn it now so you can stay competitive. Otherwise, you're gonna be behind the curve.
ProTools core is made for RECORDINGS especifically then mixing and playback part when not recordings actually suck i understand, but try recording 24 tracks with other DAW they will crash the buffer, so PRO TOOLS for RECORDING!!!!! is a must!!! then go to other DAWs for everything else!
What about the FL Studio? I'm very new with home studio recording in general. I'm using FL Studio but it seams it is not seriously treated DAW by sound engineers. Why ? Does this program is so 'amateur stuf' that even not compairble with the other popular DAW?
Why dont you or anybody ever say anything about reason...I've used studio one ..pro tools and ableton ..I think reason is the best daw ...especially for mixing .can you please help understand why reasons never gets mentioned when doing comparisons
Reaper is no beauty, but a powerful beast and I think in plugin world it’s counterpart is Meldaproduction. These both are hell of options and sometimes too much. For me these both are the future of audio production. And there is a linux version of Reaper on their pre versions site. Meldaproduction is also working on a mixing thing revolution for two years, but still not ready for release. I don’t know much about it, but I have a feeling this could really change the way of mixing. Not this pseudo products like Neutron. But we will see!
Have you tried Magix Samplitude or Sequoia? I don't know what your workflow is like but I highly recommend you give it a try. I believe it's fully functional for 30 days.
I downloaded Protools first just to see whats all the fuzz about it....Installed it...opened it...it crashed...opened it again...got slow...created a new track ....recorded something ....insert a plugin ...crashed again. Uninstalled completely. Got Reaper ...installed it...recorded first track...then second...and so on. Mixed...Done. 👍🏽. Another day stared new project....recorded some midi....then 2nd track audio....then midi again....stared getting midi glitches ....fuck Reaper👎🏻. Hello Ableton . Still happy to this day 😊

Maybe it’s because you work completely in the box. I do use studio one for 4 years, an have no problems at all.

Studio one 4.5 has added a lot of features for protools users and logic users not to mention cpu usage has been improved by 50 percent!
It has a lot of problems with automation for example!!! So,,, fuck update like those...
I second this. He must have made this video before the update
Paulmer no it doesn’t?
Just my opinion and my experience! I was a Cubase-User for more than 20 years and since version 4 I use Studio One and love it. Not to mention that they give you great feature updates for free.
They improved cpu usage by 50%, right, it uses 50% more cou than before
3:55 macOS is actually based on a Un*x-flavour (FreeBSD with a modified kernel, called Mach). Because of this they share a lot of commonalities with Linux and other Posix compliant systems. Anyway... the other possible DAW that exists for Linux is Bitwig (or Renoise, but that is more like a tracker [which I love]).
REAPER is available in beta native on Linux now.
Reaper is just in a league of its own. Can manage 50 plugins in realtime and the competition can handle 5.
This needs a 2019 update! Logic Pro X is my main DAW but I recently added Studio One 4.5 to my arsenal and it is MUCH more than what you give credit for. The Sampler alone is one of the best ive ever used. The mastering plugins are very efficient and powerful.

Then moved to Logic 9
Then to Studio One
And finally found the love of my life REAPER.

I've been using Reaper for many years and there are just so many things that I haven't been able to do in other DAWs. Constantly keeps getting better.
Nice update .... but have you checked out Cubase 9.5 pro ... and Love Reaper.. ;)
No, it's because I don't want to do every DAW at once... Cubase will come... just not now...
yes i do get it.. too many DAW s are sometimes a hassle.. and Thanks for doing The DAW Journey.. it's always awesome to learn new things.. 😊
Stop dilly willing around. Get Cubase Pro 9.5 and eliminate your search for a better Daw because there isn't one, Period!
Real Music 4 you Without a doubt!

Switched from Fl Studio to Studio One - till today the best decision so far
Linux DAW -
Waveform 9
Bitwig Studio
Ardour
Renoise
Reaper - Sort Of
Reaper is awsome!!!!!!!!
btw: you look like a young "normal" Marilyn Manson
Studio One all the way!!!
Yeah I gave this vid a thumbs down because of the title!
When you get done playing around, get Cubase 10.5. Same audio engine as Nuendo. Great company and features.
I made the same transition! Pro Tools to Studio One to Reaper... And Reaper is AMAZING!
Studio One 4.5 is worth a relook
Agreed, only thing that bugs me is the lack of some minor organizational features.
I have been using Studio One since version 2 and still have it on my main DAW in my commercial studio. 4.5 is a disaster for me. They took away the highlight feature for grouped tracks in in the Track View (not on the timeline) and now the Input Level on the tracks disappears when the track is in record mode..unless you have the monitor on and then the monitor function only comes down the outputs.

Looks like Presonus is now catering more to the beat makers than the serious recording studios.
Almost a year ago and you say Studio One is unusable, that is actually rubbish. I have been using S1 for about 5 or more years now, and I love it.
Once you use Reaper, you know you are using the best !
I just love to see all the people confirming what I've discovered with REAPER. I have to admit, I originally started using it for the price.

Have a look at n-track studio and mixbuss
so time for an updated Studio 1 review
as a logic user can't wait to hear your video on it
Finally someone see the same problems with Protools I saw. I just went through the same journey of choosing a new DAW and choose Abelton. what is your main computer you use for your sessions ?
I chose Ableton because it's the best DAW for a solo dude making music in the spare room ;-)
What about samplitude ?? ;)
Studio one kick ass !
reaper changed my life - from the first minute.
Only just watching this in May - would love to see what you think of Studio One 4.5. They seem to be working hard towards gaining the Pro Tools community. Coming from Reason 10 as my first DAW, Studio One complements it and expands what I can do, and I love the workflow so far.

I can't see myself using any other DAW than Studio one. Pro Tools is just weird for me and seems to slow me down.

Well , fact is, there is competition.. competition in sales... user base...
But for me , there is no competition. Logic .
Started with Pro24, then onto Cubase 1 & 2 on Atari Mega 4, Cubase VST PC, 5VST Mac, SX, SX2.... Logic 6.. Been there since.

Ended up with REAPER. Stable, fast and very very customizable, which does take some time but will eventually save you lots of time! Goed bezig.
Not trying to be a dick at all but mac os is BSD not linux. Also, mixbus is based off of ardour so check that out. I personally use mixbus for stem mixing and samplitude for editing.
Congratulations. It is a beautiful and difficult decision to change DAW. Reaper's so powerful, you can get lost in it. Many Protools users are switching to Reaper right now. For 60 bucks, I understand.
Continue to surprise us. I love your channel. So refreshing.
You should check out Reason 10. It's very inspirational!
Reason 10.4 is the truth!
Have been using studio one for years. V4 brings aaf export and better i/o for hardware. The only limit i know of is missing surround mixing and no sandboxing for third party plugins, which is a big one. Soundtoys and softube is behaving poorly in s1 and isnt even a supported daw even thought their support forums have been complaining for years... Would love to know what you think about it and why you dont like it?!
For me there is no other daw i like to use. Stable as hell, except the above mentioned plugins, and super fast. Love tracking with plugins and low latency. Love the drag and drop and flexible routing. Reaper otoh is a mess of settings and ugly design flaws making me feel like im in windows..
I used Reaper for about 4 years. Best DAW for the money. That said, Studio One fits my workflow much better. And that's what it really is all about, which DAW works the way you want to work. I'm not saying Studio One is the best, but it is the best for me.
Cubase kicks ass...period!
I might have missed it if you talked about it, but any thoughts on Adobe Audion, or can it be used as DAW? For video people on premier its a handy options because it obviously works so well with Premier Pro. Any thoughts? Thanks.
Audition crashes when I use some Waves plugins, notably L3-16, and that's just a single track.
I'm just a home studio user, but I have recorded 8 albums using Audition. LOVE it, but it does have a lot of issues with plugin usage and glitching. I am looking to make a switch to something that can handle software synths as well as audio waves, but I love the ease Audition has with editing audio waves, so I'm dragging my feet.
I guess we could go down a really endless debate here! I'll just express what i think from my experience: I've been working on pro tools for about 10 years now and after 2 weeks using S1 I've come to the conclusion that it is far more stable, responsive and easy to use (maybe a bit too much). There's a bunch of features I do dislike (or miss from PT) but overall I'm objectively enjoying it. I would have to give S1 a try on some professional film post production for features/docs/shorts (wonder if any of you guys out there have) which is my main field of work were I do feel comfortable inside PT and have managed to handle and finish some big projects in the past (Timecode, framerates, sync, codecs, surround layouts,etc) Other than that, for music mixing, tracking and mastering S1 has been a pretty enjoyable & productive time.
Harrison mixbus?
wow. the studio one rant really blows me..literally described my experience with protools and others if anything..studio one is the opposite of what he says for me all i see is no limitations, no walls, bugs, or slow downs
This Video needs an Update
.Studio One is Limited ? i think you are missing big time on one of best DAW's outhere. Lots of tutorials to help you find your way. Best Of Luck in any DAW you choose
What kind of editing can you do on cubase that you could not do on studio one.?
i really tried reaper but i could not get over its interface, which looks like it was transported directly from 1997.
did you look at Harrison Mixbus 5
Cubase 10 pro Kick ass!!!
I'm a Studio One user, so your choice of REAPER is like deciding if you're hot or cold blooded lmao
I use Reaper almost entirely based on performance and who the developers are. The user forum also sold me.
You should revisit version 4.5
been using reaper for years...used to hang out with the dudes that developed that stuff in chat rooms before youtube and facebag and the internet started to suck lol.
You should check out Digital Performer after you run Logic through it's paces. I originally used DP as a front end to a ProTools system, then just gave up on Pro Tools because DP had so much more going for it, and other hardware was much better than what Digi/Avid put out (I use Metric Halo hardware). It will require a good amount of trial & error. It's a very deep DAW.
I love S1 but, I am going to give Reaper a try \m/
Have you ever tried ableton?
know your stuff
Ableton?
Which MOTU interface do you use?
The background of MacOs Is Unix.
Reaper is a more than capable DAW and would be a great choice for someone who is more mixing focused, but Logic is great for Production with it's plethora of Virtual instruments. Avid just Sucks I have a HDX2 system that hasn't been turned on in 2 years unless a client rents the studio and uses it. Ardour is the engine for many other DAW's Harrison Mixbus & Waves Tracks Live (Live Audio Recorder). Ardour is a very interesting DAW with Pre & Post fader plugins like Cubase but it has the same problem most open source software does it has no Marketing. The background of Mac is 100% NOT Linux it is BSD/Unix the Darwin Kernel and Unix operating system of Apple's OSX/MacOS, Mobile iOS, and variants are not in anyway affiliated with Linux. Despite Linux being a variant replacement for Unix as a cheaper cost efficient variant. Think of Linux as a cover version of the original song Unix but with it's own melody and new lyrics.
MacOS is based in unix, not linux. It's similar but not the same.
Awesome to see that you liked REAPER so much (in caps because I like to do it :v), let's change the industry standard! Ardour it's also a very good choice as it was made since the beginning as a Pro Tools free software alternative (as open source) for Pro Tools users.
Btw, what about doing a video about antialiasing and how the plugins you know the most use it? Something I really like about TDR plugins is how they use the antialiasing.
As much as Reaper's interface is just meh to me and I'd love to use S1 or Cubase or some sexy daw, Reaper just works. Any interface, any plugins, whatever. It's fast under the hood and bulletproof.
The default interface is pretty boring. Just customize it, then it is the most beautiful.
Studio One is cool..but there are limitation..its limiter is a bit sh*t ..routing is a bit limited too for example if you want to do parrallel compression
Definitely need to learn Pro Tools, but I crack up when people think Logic is basic and then I see videos where other DAW’s have updates for things that Logic has had for years.
The background of Mac OS is BSD not Linux ;)
Studio one is the truth
Pro Tools: is it like Quark of the 90's? Back then for graphics design Quark software was like Microsoft. But now Quark is almost unknown. Pro Tools wouldn't be the first juggernaut of an industry to evaporate.
I was in graphic design when InDesign first came out, and it was the Quark killer. I tried to tell everyone, and I converted several companies to InDesign, but the first version of InDesign was at least as good as Quark, and by v.2, it killed it. It was funny because I was friends with the CEO of Quark, and they kept trying to woo me to keep it on the desktop in the departments I was running. No one believed me when I told them InDesign was going to make Quark obsolete. Just like they didn't believe me when, after years of supporting the crappy Mac OS, OS X Public Beta came out, and I told everyone that Apple was going to become the hugest company ever because you could see the foundation for what they did in the music, entertainment, and computing industries. Now, I'm telling everyone to get to know REAPER. ProTools is officially killed. Nothing will even touch REAPER in two year. Nothing does now, but you'll be hard pressed to find a studio that doesn't use it, so learn it now so you can stay competitive. Otherwise, you're gonna be behind the curve.
@@xaosnox Ay dios mio! Me gusta ♥
Cubase is life
ProTools core is made for RECORDINGS especifically then mixing and playback part when not recordings actually suck i understand, but try recording 24 tracks with other DAW they will crash the buffer, so PRO TOOLS for RECORDING!!!!! is a must!!! then go to other DAWs for everything else!
FL Studio 20 is very good. A lot of people use it
What about the FL Studio?
I'm very new with home studio recording in general. I'm using FL Studio but it seams it is not seriously treated DAW by sound engineers. Why ? Does this program is so 'amateur stuf' that even not compairble with the other popular DAW?
Like if uve always use full version of studio one
fl studio 20.6 ftw !
Nuendo/Cubase 10 would seem worthy. Why do you feel not?
REAPER!!!!!!
Protools seems like a big rip-off. I don't understand why the whole industry doesn't dump it.
Love reaper, but i really think if they hired a bad ass UX designer, a lot more people would use it. Just my 2 cents on the FX
Hi dear, can you consider digital performer in any of your videos.....I would like to hear from you
Why dont you or anybody ever say anything about reason...I've used studio one ..pro tools and ableton ..I think reason is the best daw ...especially for mixing .can you please help understand why reasons never gets mentioned when doing comparisons
Reaper is no beauty, but a powerful beast and I think in plugin world it’s counterpart is Meldaproduction. These both are hell of options and sometimes too much. For me these both are the future of audio production.
And there is a linux version of Reaper on their pre versions site.
Meldaproduction is also working on a mixing thing revolution for two years, but still not ready for release. I don’t know much about it, but I have a feeling this could really change the way of mixing. Not this pseudo products like Neutron. But we will see!
Reaper can look amazing with the many free themes available for it. My favorite is Janne 2016.
Dude you have beautiful skin
SAMPLITUDE PRO X 4
I bounce between Pro Tools and Sonar. Sonar for whatever reason never gets respect. Check out Sonar. Gibson sold it to Band Lab so it's free now.
Have you tried Magix Samplitude or Sequoia? I don't know what your workflow is like but I highly recommend you give it a try. I believe it's fully functional for 30 days.
Good morning
I'd actually like to know why studio one is garbage to you. Please do that tape and post. I wanted to try abelton
I downloaded Protools first just to see whats all the fuzz about it....Installed it...opened it...it crashed...opened it again...got slow...created a new track ....recorded something ....insert a plugin ...crashed again. Uninstalled completely. Got Reaper ...installed it...recorded first track...then second...and so on. Mixed...Done. 👍🏽. Another day stared new project....recorded some midi....then 2nd track audio....then midi again....stared getting midi glitches ....fuck Reaper👎🏻. Hello Ableton . Still happy to this day 😊
I 've been a PT user since a couple of decades, but maybe there´s some better/cheaper DAW out there... Will make some research...
I can't get used to any daw. there all to complicated. can manage audacity everything else is difficult.
