There are a lot of rabbit holes in any DAW where signals can get lost. If an input signal doesn’t make it to the output, it took a wrong turn and you’ve got to play traffic cop and reroute the signal until it reaches the output. For every input, there must be an output. Regardless of version, one must commit some time to learning the basics.
#Pro tools or ableton pro
However, a novice can get a free version called Pro Tools First, and actually make some useable recordings.
#Pro tools or ableton software
It is a massive and complex system of signal processing that sets the standard by which all other software is measured. I now think I can effectively use maybe 40% of the Pro Tools’ architecture.
I took four very difficult exams and became a Certified Pro Tools Operator. I recently completed 50 hours of Pro Tools live online classroom training with interactive WebEx audio and video. Reaper is great! Pro Tools is great too but SUPER expensive. There will definitely be a learning curve, but being confident with the basics of a computer system will go a long way towards you being able to help yourself learn the DAW.
#Pro tools or ableton install
Do you consider yourself a 'computer person'? I don't mean that you need to be a computer programmer, but rather than you can install updates, google minor problems, etc without it being a major issue. Every DAW is similar but different, so if you can run one, you can run them all with (hopefully) minor adjustments. One thing I should caution you about is that no matter which DAW you choose, you're going to run into 'picky' stuff that will drive you nuts until you get used to it. But that's just me, I want my recordings to sound like a band in a room. Of course, Pro Tools has the best plug-ins because that's what the pros use, but Reaper's aren't bad either, and honestly if I find myself needing too many plug-ins to get a good sound, I might as well re-record that part anyway.
I much prefer using a regular DAW for tracking and mixing, but of course you can track and mix in Abelton as well, I just find it clunky and unintuitive (for me at least).īefore you spend thousands of dollars on Pro Tools, why not give Reaper a shot? You can play around with the (fully functional!) demo version for as long as you want, and if you decide to buy, it's literally 60 bucks. I like using Ableton Live with a hardware device like a Push controller to create beats and loops. 🎛️ "I think Pro Tools is the best for mixing, it was designed for that, and most engineers and mastering engineers still use it.Just my 2 cents, but I consider Abelton Live to be more of a sequencer / looper first with some DAW features, and Pro Tools as more of a traditional DAW.
🎛️ Logic's stock plugins are praised for their functionality and cool vibe, making it unnecessary to purchase additional virtual instruments or plugins.🎹 Logic is praised for its amazing stock virtual instruments, while Pro Tools is criticized for not having great virtual instruments.🎧 "Pro Tools is the best at recording audio.I really like the workflow of recording audio with Pro Tools.".🎧 Logic is praised for its ability to playlist and easily comp tracks, making it a preferred choice for drummers and recording audio.📚 " Logic is definitely the most intuitive software, ready to go without having to think about stuff.".🎧 "Working with audio is the number one most important thing for me when I'm working in a recording program.".🎵 "They all were designed by developers that kind of prioritize slightly different things which gives each of them a unique flavor which means that some of them might fit our style and workflow better than others.".
