Most used DAW in professional studios? Yes

Most generic DAW? Yes
Basically the value of the HD system is the DSP hardware. The AD converters are marginal. The actual software for ProTools is junk. very usable... totally capable... but not cutting edge. Most of the native systems have more flexibility. For example all the others can bounce mixdowns offline and have so for years. That's not possible with ProTools. A 10 min song takes 10 min to export.
The list of functions available on other platforms (Cubase, DP, Logic, Sonar) and not in PT is looonnnnng. Advanced Scoring. Pitch Correction. Logical Editors. Full 64bit support!..... too many to keep typing. |
So why does everybody use this then? Does the engine sound better? Not much of an issue if you mix out on a board but still?
Does it come with a better plug-in package?
I got an old version of logic here from 2004
It has a mode called ''TDM mode'' anybody familiar with that? Does this means if I buy say an old card I will be able to run the two programs together? But does that offer more DSP power?
Will I still have to buy the protools interfaces? Anybody experienced with that here?
