6 CPU light
CONS:
----------
1. too much crap on the screen.
2. if you don't 2 or more monitors, expect to get lost looking for things.
3. lots of "mousing about" to "reach things"
4. Doesn't have the editing ease that PTs offers.
5. no 3rd party plugin support
i like record a lot. but it seems to be utilized 4 use with multiple monitors, 3 for the perfect fit.
i like the way it sounds and i like the way its so simple i have over complicated it a few times. (oh! it just does it automatically!)
i have messed about with it for about 8 hours total. (the demo)
and i must say, if i hadnt been trained in PT with 6 years or so of daily use. id seriously consider making it my main daw.
however, it doesnt seem to be as in depth as PT.
they have said thier not trying to compete.
my main complaint is that there is too much crammed onto one screen.
and i get tired of "mousing about" to get to the gains on the mixer, then "mousing about" to get to the fader.
yes, i know there are options to eliminate the problem. but its not as intuitive as id like.....
hope that helps |
Lots of good points here!
I use reason and record to do all of my writing and rough mixes, and by rough I mean 85-90% complete.
I use PT9 to do any editing, and to do the final mix.
Record is IMO horrid with editing. It sounds great and the SSL style mixer is an absolute blast to use, but the program definitely cannot reach the level of quality that you would be able to achieve using some of the amazing VSTs that are currently available.
Don't get me wrong, it sounds great, but its that last 10% that can really make a difference.
I would definitely recommend reason and record for writing and getting your ideas in good order, its very simple and fun to use.
