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...
Nuendo editing is every bit as fast and intuitive as protools...
So seriously what is the draw?
But i urge you all to try a new daw... once you get out of your protools comfort zone, you will be thrilled |
The people who really need HD are commercial houses running huge sessions (like pop records that run 18 or 19 lead vocal tracks, in addiiton to harmonies and instrumentation) and can't run them natively. Anyone who wants to mix in the analog realm and still use pro tools needs the I/O that LE does not offer.
It's not that I like digi hardware so much, it's more that EVERYONE I work with is a certified pro tools operator, thereby making pro tools the DAW that I don't need any tech support for. EVER.
Considering the cost of an AD16x and DA16x (and the necessary firewire cards needed for comupter interface), it would be a bit ridiculous to compare a 002 (or 003) system to the Apogee system. Of course the apogee is better.
And last I checked, Nuendo streets at $2k...which is a completely prohibitive price for the PTLE market.
I did try another DAW...DP 5. Using an Onyx 400f with DP was a great combination...when it worked. PT is designed to be rock solid--the two crashes I have had with PT were my own fault--(opening multiple instances of BFD will kill just about anything). DP crashed on a daily basis. The 400f sounded AMAZING compared to all the digi hardware I have heard...but I like Pro Tools.
And the beautiful part of this whole thing is this--we all get our own choice in the matter.
