I find Ableton intuitive and easy to create with, but it is really targeted at loop-based production, which doesn't really suit my particular workflow. I added Ableton a few years ago because many of the DJs I work with used it. I've tried many others since then and keep coming back to Cubase for one reason or another. The "which one is beset" question always generates roughly the same answer - "the one I use." The better question is which one would be best for you? Personally out of the two it would be Cubase but I do a lot of midi work so I'm biased. If it was between Protools and Cubase and you were strictly working with audio I'd pick Protools (hate to say that btw) but Cubase (Pro) is no slouch in the audio mixing dept either. So between the two I'd say Cubase hands down. People argue workflow, but in the latest versions of Cubase you can tell they looked over their shoulder at S1 and added a lot of the same workflow features. As far as features and stability Cubase is way ahead of it (midi editing, mixer, notation software, etc). Studio One apparently has one or some coders that used to work at Steinberg coding Cubase thus its Cubase'esque nature. So what do you guys use, and what do you like/hate about it ?ĭave Kendall wrote:I'm familiar with ProTools, but as I'm semi-retired from sound engineering, I no longer need compatibility with the largest number of post-pro houses and recording facilities. I have just enough hardware, so that soft synths and plugins aren't the main reason for getting it. I may need to master in it as well, at least for some projects. Quite a bit of sound design will happen too. I'll want to record live drums and other acoustic instruments into it, and will want to write, arrange, mix and remix in it. Studio One has some nice workflow features, but I don't know any users.įor what I need a DAW for, I'm a keyboard player, so not hugely bothered about extensive MIDI features - I can play parts in easily enough. Reaper is sadly out, due to it's incompatibility with the 01v96i. Logic hasn't appealed to me the few times I've used it, but that may be down to lack of hours on type.ĭigital Performer is an unknown to me since a friend and her rig moved away back in 2008. I would just go with PT, but AVID's corporate policy is predatory to say the least, particularly with the new leasing arrangements, and I think the gap between PT and others has closed massively or disappeared in terms of functionality and quality.Ĭubase is used by at least one person I may be collaborating with, but doesn't turn me on, although it seems solid and has integrated melodyne, which is a big plus. I'm familiar with ProTools, but as I'm semi-retired from sound engineering, I no longer need compatibility with the largest number of post-pro houses and recording facilities.
