Cupe Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Anyone used this much? I'm thinking it might be the best way to arrange the compositions I'm going to start working on. http://www.avid.com/pro-tools/features If anyone has input pls input it.

LabRat Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 I don't know if anyone here has used or uses pro tools. Ive had much experience with it and I don't like it. I don't think it's very user friendly but that's me. I'd suggest that what you already have would be find for compositions are you wanting to record into pro tools or just arrange audio clips?

Cupe Posted May 10, 2017 Author Share Posted May 10, 2017 Mainly arrange as I'll have a whole shitload of samples and will adjust them outside with other tools (cause I don't know what I'd be doing to manipulate in Pro Tools). I just want to be able to line up a shitload of tracks and have them come in and out when they should. Really just build the songs from all the parts in something.

Mitch Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 You can do that in any DAW pretty easy. What do you already have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cupe Posted May 10, 2017 Author Share Posted May 10, 2017 tbh I do it all manually in audacity a lot. Normally I do original production in Reason but I'm gonna start to record real world sounds and instruments and shit now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LabRat Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Don't know much about reason but like Mitch said any daw will be fine. If you want to manipulate audio, there's a bunch of cool samplers that can do tricky stuff otherwise ableton is pretty cool for that. I think pro tools is a bit much for what you're aiming for at the moment but will certainly work for what you want to do. Have you got experience in any other software?

Cupe Posted May 10, 2017 Author Share Posted May 10, 2017 I've tinkered in Ableton but that shit is better for live stuff right? tbh I wouldn't mind trying to learn how to make this audio soundscape live too. Why is there such a vibe off Pro Tools? Every top tier cunt that works on sound engineering is on it. I'll be using a massive amount of different tools to fuck with the sound before I arrange it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Because we all know ableton and not pro tools which means we can help you better. Any DAW will do what you want pretty easy, so using what you already kind of know makes the whole process easier. Learning 1 DAW well is far better than knowing a tiny bit about 5. More productive = more time spent on the music instead of finding what button to click Cupe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LabRat Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 There's no doubt that pro tools has a lot of power. I'm not taking that away from it but it is expensive and it is a tricky bit of kit, and overboard for what I believe you want to use it for. However, if that's the way you wanna go then I'd say go for it. Have a look through forums or go chat to someone in a music shop about it. Also, if you want to make soundscapes I'd suggest you learn to use absynth. It will become a very handy tool for you. I'm happy to record a video making a sound if you like?

Cupe Posted May 11, 2017 Author Share Posted May 11, 2017 I've achaly been chatting about Ableton today, and because I want to do some of this stuff live it's probably the better option. @LabRat I'll get an Absynth demo on the weekend and have a muck around. A lot of what I'll be working with will be live recordings and instruments manipulated later on then arranged Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LabRat Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 Cool bananas. Absynth may help you add some extra anyosphere to those live recordings. Either way, if you're after a demo on it I can record something on Sunday or I can send you a video I did for a mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cupe Posted May 11, 2017 Author Share Posted May 11, 2017 Does it hook into abelton or what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LabRat Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 Yeah absynth is a synth made by NI. It comes with the komplete series Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cupe Posted May 11, 2017 Author Share Posted May 11, 2017 I'll have to check it out on the weekend. The audio recorder I bought comes with Cubase and some other thing. wave something. Will be scoping it all on the weekend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LabRat Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 Probably wavelab. Cubase is pretty dope but you probably have a limited version Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cupe Posted May 12, 2017 Author Share Posted May 12, 2017 Yeah wavelab. It's Cubase LE and I assume LE means fuck you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
