| Elastic vs Beat Detective vs Nuendo
Had given up on Protools some 3 years ago, and moved on to Nuendo, cause by and large it works better for me.
Particularly editing auf audio I tend to be faster. AND being able to do orchestral scores within the same environment is a strong argument.
But ever since I've come across Elastic Audio in 7.4 I'm not so sure anymore.
In short Elastic works great for me, as a matter of fact it sounds better to my ears than Beat Detective, which I've never found very musical, neither in sound nor groovewise.
I'll give you, that Elastic will always "cloud" the sound slightly, but I feel that I gain more than I loose.
When it comes to manual editing however, Nuendo rocks (and sounds clearer to start with to my ears).
Melodyne I will only ever use for pitching vocals, and only if I'm in a hurry.
If I have time I'll do it manually within Nuendo - again, sounds better to my ears.
But for naked speed and possibilities, Melodyne rulez for me too, no question.
