One downside to ProTools is that 1024 buffers limit, even though my interface can go to 2048. In S1 I've yet to have to freeze anything but not quite so in PT.

So you still have for 4 years ahead that you paid on a DAW you will probably not use?

Ya and no. I use ProTools, it's just not a joyful experience. It's not such a pain that I detest it. Just not my goto DAW.

Awesome! Great mix. I thought the vocals were just right.

 

FYI: for those not familiar with the genre common in metal the guitars tend to be the main focus and the vocals are usually further down in the mix surrounded by the rest of it, instead of riding on top. They're just another melodic - or depending on subgenre -  rhythmic element. Exceptions mainly being bands with an absolutely stellar vocalist like Rob Halford or Bruce Dickinson.

Thanks for the listen and the lesson Byron.

Awesome job! I'm not a huge metal fan, but the energy in this is infectious.

Thanks, then we accomplished our goal.

@smallstonefan I'm not bashing ProTools. I own a perpetual license and I currently have 4 years of paid updates/maintenance in the queue.

If all DAWs except ProTools ceased to exist tomorrow I'd become comfortable in ProTools.

But then what would I do with fully integrated Presonus FP-16?  😉 

And my well functioning Softube Console-1? 😉 


FYI: Console 1 is soooooo poorly implemented on ProTools the last time I checked.

I will say that a pair of Avid S1s with Pro Tools might change your mind, but it's an investment. 🤘

But then what would I do with fully integrated Presonus FP-16?  😉 

ProTools -> gelled = *not*.  I can work in it but it's not a joyful experience.

As of now I'm about as proficient in S1 as I was in CbB. Still use CbB occasionally.

I record/create and mix and (small m) master in S1.

For the cheap price you have to own Version 1 of smart:comp, I guess...

Makes cents (or about 28.75€)

What a couple of boobs......

craigb and sheens are.

Too bad this one gets cut off, I'd like to see more!

I see quite a bit already, your sentiment is understood.

The email I got this morning was..

And I checked and it was that price.

Now when I log in it's € 57.14

Some weird dynamic pricing!

Note: I do not have smart:comp (1) just other sonible plugins

I only have smart:limit and my price is € 65 but € 57.14 at checkout too

BTW this is a handy plumbing tool for smaller diameter pipes

That would be perfect for a simultaneous endoscopy/colonoscopy.

I was helping a guy who had claimed to invent an anti-gravity device.  Unfortunately, when he sat in the chair for the first test, the entire device took off into space and never came back!

EPIC FAIL!

That there is a "Craig Anderton-esque" workaround, and practically the current industry standard!

But Imagine if everyone had free access to the same platform for exchanging entire projects? Especially beginners?

It's also what Warren Huart's "Produce Like a Pro" does with the multi-tracks he provides for members to mix. And Steven Slate too.

So yeah.... industry standard.

Worked for this guy!

I'm not sure I see the *need* for collaborators to be on the same DAW. Citizen Regen has two members recording in Studio One, one in CbB, one in Ableton, and one in Reaper (he used to use Digital Performer).

It's never hindered us. Why? All members transfer full length 24/48 wav/flac files. We don't need DAW specific project/song files to get the collab done.

 

He's hawking his copy of Studio One on the corner 12th Street and Vine.

Oh my! What about all your Toontrack midi packs? They are gathering dust 

Using those MIDI packs are destined as demo parts for a song where applicable. Ultimately replaced by real players. 😉 

 

It's catchy in a good way mate, not like an STD. 🙂

Is it the workflow, some key features, etc.? 

I like their implementation of Arranger track over CbB. There is no finalization process like CbB it's more WYSIWG.

I like the chord track when used properly. Works best on clean guitars (over distorted guitars), clean piano or organ and vocals (i,e. pre FX).

I prefer the "put a bus anywhere you want in the mixer and that a bus can also be a folder in the mixer. Don't need to see the vocals tracks, collapse them.

The built in Monitor 2Bus that can contain ARC or SONARWORKS or Slate's VSX is nifty too. And not interfere with your mixdown.

Again,  all this "works for me".

FYI, my MIDI usage is limited, I'm not a synth or orchestrator guy, so their MIDI implementation is enough for me.

I'm just wondering the reasons those who choose Studio One find it superior to Cakewalk. 

As is said many times here and all over the internet, "use what works best for you" and I'll add "there really is no 'superior' DAW"

Having used CbB, Reaper, Studio One, ProTools, Cubase, Harrison Mixbus 32C, Samplitude, Mixcraft , Digital Performer, Logic and Reaosn the question, to me, is not which is superior, but features work best for me.

As of today, I'm most comfortable in Studio One.
