| obviously not a shocker... Had a digi001 and a digi III or something like that...a while back... Then when i made the step up i think it was 2003 and then we got an hd3.
Supposedly being an hd customer... I thought I'd get treated differently... I was wrong... Pretty dissappointed with them, pretty upset... I finally got rid of the the hd system and went to apogee/lynx/nuendo/pc... And I couldn't be happier.
I don't see what the big thing is about pro tools anymore... It was cool in 2000 when I wanted to play with the big boys... Then when i finally moved away from le and got hd i thought it was even cooler... But now i wonder what I was thinking.
The only thing i can't do now that i could do on hd was to use hd plugs... Big deal... Now if i was doing post work... I probably would have stuck out the digi bs with hd... But for music production? Get real... Who really needs an hd3?
And what's the big deal about the le system? Most people mod their 002's... And still don't like the sounds... Then everyone bitches about 32 track count. Then you gotta pay more for the 48 track pack or whatver.
No offense to anyone... But what gives??? Why do you like protools and digi hardware so much???
A lynx aurora plus cubase is way cooler in my opinion... Or apogee 16x's and and cubase or nuendo...
I just don't get what the draw is... Marketing?? or what???
When i switched over from protools... I did have a hard time grasping how i was gonna do sessions fluently in nuendo... It took me about 3 weeks to get used to neundo...
But let me tell you... There is nothing i miss about pro tools... Everything i could do in protools i can do in nuendo faster... I don;t know if they have made a tons of chanes since 6.9... But at that point nuendo seemed way easier... I think i've had to crossfade in nunedo maybe once... In protools, every punch required a crossfade... Not so in nuendo... Also nuendo lanes beat the shit out of protools playlist tracks etc.
Nuendo editing is every bit as fast and intuitive as protools...
So seriously what is the draw?
I haven't done the whole commercial studio thing in a while... since i have been working solely on my new album for the past year... But from time to time i book sessions in my studio when i need to... And I've never been asked if i have protools..> And alot of artists are pretty thrilled that i am using something other than pt.
I do have protools m-powered... I've never used it... I have it on hand in case i ever do get a session from pt that i need to reference... But since i don't use plugs or daw automation, it's never been an issue... I historically have always 100% of the time received sessions either on 2" or digital bwf...
Now if i was a post house... I might deal with digi and keep the hd system around
But i urge you all to try a new daw... once you get out of your protools comfort zone, you will be thrilled |
