Any demos of you using these DAWS? instead of cut and paste ?

A nice reference library there KB.

I attended a couple of ProTools master classes at the AV show in Sydney 2013 - 2015 prior to retiring, pretty interesting but at the time I had a hate - hate relationship with Cubase so it was more for interest and learning technique than to learning the software.

Cheers for that, I bookmarked the ones for the DAW software I have installed on my DAW PC.


Here's what Ableton Live 9.6 Standard looks like when launched and you have an Ableton Live Set loaded:







If I'm not doing much tomorrow I might see if I can make a track in Ableton Live, featuring my Squire P-Bass, my LP Studio, and my new Strat.

Pleasure guys. Dave pro tools is great software. But over priced I've used it for 20 years. I think you just go so far down the road of using a certain DAW, invest time and you get used to its idiosyncrasies. If I was going to buy a DAW today I think I'd go for Studio One Pro. It does more and they listen to its user base. But Reaper for the price is amazing and you can certainly get pro results with it. I started with Steinbergs Cubase.

I started with Steinbergs Cubase. Shame Yamaha ruined it.

Believe it or not, Reaper was created by some Ex ProTools guys, personally I really like their attitude and business model, I also like the fact that they offer a $60.00 license for non-commercial use, that's a pretty good deal, they give you a good grace-period too where they let you try out the fully functional Reaper software, I tried it out and decided to purchase a $60.00 license, and get this, once you have purchased the $60.00 license they let you have subsequent software updates free for life, I don't think I could argue with that.

Yeah Doc, shame they left pro tools. But going on to reaper and making it such a success wasn't a bad move.

I totally agree with that mate, from what I have read online in various ProTools forums, Avid, the makers of ProTools, haven't been making a good name for themselves given the number of customers who have been experiencing lots of issues with the ProTools software they spent lots of money on, not sure if it truly is Avid's fault, or the software's fault though.

[kimball492]

No pretty much they are answerable to shareholders and are more interested in them not the loyal customer base. They've sacked loads of there creative team and the heart and soul of the business.

Slight correction doc Reaper upgrades aren't free for life, only within the release.

I had to cough up another $60.00 when it went from R4 to R5, still a very small price to pay for a good product and I have it validated with a single licence on the 32 bit laptop and the 64 bit PC
