I used ProTools but switched to Reaper because it went way to expensive and used to be slow with updates for newer OS. It took them a long time to support Apple silicon too. They also let their own hardware get unsupported with updates which I hated, it made my interface and controller pretty much useless. At first I had to adapt to Reaper but now I really love it. It does anything that I want 😊
Luna. I like that it's young. I've learned every function within it and I feel like I can grow with it. It's helped to teach me analog workflow to be better to understand the history of music.
@blasegangbeats1865 I've switched to a fully digitally recallable studio now. I will be doing a video on this and showing workflow soon. Just waiting on a couple of units to go in. And yes I've ordered 3 more APB16s. That deal was too good, not take advantage of.
Sir, what's the eligibility criteria for sound engineering, music production? What is EDM production/djing? Can you do without degree, qualifications? By self learning or online courses? institute? Can you make career in India? How to choose job/career role in music? Which instrument should I learn? Lot's of questions,I'm confused 😕
I use Pro Tools because that's what I started with back in 2019. I had the chance to choose Reaper, Studio One or Cubase at the time but I chose Pro Tools | First, got locked into the ecosystem and I've been a Pro Tools user ever since. I produce, record, edit, mix, and master in Pro Tools and to the way my brain works, I find Pro Tools to be quite intuitive. I do reckon other DAWs are better suited for music production such as Logic Pro, Studio One, Cubase, and Ableton but I've been able to produce even with MIDI inside of Pro Tools. I do like getting into other platforms every once in a while to see what these have, but all in all, I'm all in into Pro Tools.
I agree that Protools remains the industry standard in the high-end space, and therefore an aspiring audio pro should know his/her way around it. I think another benefit to protools is its use in the movie business purely because (apart from the aforementioned wide use of it ) it handles film standards such as time code / smpte / frame-rates etc better than most other daws. But apart from that, its business model is so abusive (in my opinion) I really don't see it lasting as the industry standard forever. In fact, in many sectors of the industry it has already handed over the mantel to other DAWs, largely because of how it treats its customers. Like you said, other DAWs handle production as well as, if not better than Protools, or at least approach production in ways that suit artists better. As a metaphor, opening up Protools is like walking into the foyer of a blue-chip company' head office... a lot of spiff and gloss, whereas opening up other DAW's is like walking into a mid-level company where they work just as hard, but don't require the gloss. Thanks for another cool video, Paul.
@@owlmuso yes I agree. I can't see many new producers choosing protools as their DAW of choice at the price it is charged at when they can get FL studio or Logic far cheaper without having to do a subscription.
@@AudioAnimalsStudio Yeah exactly, especially as one has 98% of the functionality of Protools in the other DAWs, and actually includes some things that Protools cant do. But like you said, the best DAW is the one you know inside out, and will get you results the fastest
@@Chaos-Dynamics seriously? I have a really old Emagic interface in my loft doing nothing. Can't imagine I'd use it. But that's impressive it's still compatible.
@@AudioAnimalsStudio I have an old Emagic Unitor8 midi patchbay and three weeks ago I switched to Apple M2 and I thought my midi patchbay probably would be dead but I was happy to find working drivers on the Apple site and it works fine 😀
@@AudioAnimalsStudio I switched to M2 three weeks ago and I thought that my Unitor8 midi patchbay probably wouldn’t work. I was pretty surprised that Apple had drivers for it which worked great 👍🏼
certain daws have certain workflows, it is worth getting to know multiple daws for those features, a tracker is very specific at samples and bitwig is much more suited to the modular workflow, neither of those daws are up to the routing features of cakewalk... different tools for different tasks
produce on ableton ,mastering on reaper ,for pan law reasons, it seems daw's like reaper has smoother hi's to the ears , (for me at least) more realistic stereo field ... what may be described as "audio engine" ... Would love pros talk about it (again) ,still a lot of infos to add on this topic
Learn Reaper inside and out, and then marvel at the inferiority of all the others... I would exlude Ableton from this since it's a very different animal with an entirely different value proposition.
A very typical reaper comment. We are above all others you plebs lol. I tried it it felt like back in my dos days yes I used a 8mhz twin floppy PC I'm that old I use a Mac Studio now
@@williamshaneblyth I didn't mean it in that way; its not a personal superiority thing. Its just a software craftsmanship thing. When I load a large symphonic template into Cubase 13, for example, the system performs far less well (about 33% less well in terms of CPU and usage and 40% less well in terms of memory allocation) than it does when running the same template in Reaper. Its worse in Ableton that it is in Cubase. Its just a fact that no other DAW manages computer resources as well as Reaper. Some folks don't like the way Reaper looks; that's each person right to have an opinion. Personally, I think it looks great and that it actually has a really nice, simple, clean, and intuitive approach to UI.
When someone sends me a Pro Tools session, my palms sweat thinking about the missing plugins and trying to figure out their routing. Luckily most people send contiguous WAV files.
Bitwig. I've tried and own quite a few from Ableton to logic etc. why do I use bitwig... I have no idea I use the others but I don't know it just doesn't gel with me I keep going back to bitwig. And this for people thinking I make weird sounds and modulations well I don't. I am a boring recorder of normal vocals and real guitars and basses. I own a Fantom keyboard and most of my synth pian etc sounds are straight from there. I use toon track ezdrummer 3 for drums and ezbass for bass sounds and articulations so go figure. The others even after hours of tutorials I always hit a wall cause they just don't gel with me. Yes I must be weird . I'm 67 years old and played in bands from mid 70s through mid 80s. Only synth plugin I use is cherry audio GX80 I just use mostly stock slightly tweak sounds from the Fantom 07 again nothing weird I'm more a rock singer player with nice grooves
@clivemathieu9386 none I've been in. I've only ever seen FL studio used in production studios. Never seen FL in a recording studio, mixing studio or mastering studio.
I disagree with the DAWs being very similar. Orchestral composition takes forever in a lot of them while Ableton Live for e.g. offers endless insert slots and parallel chains within a single track. I struggle to see anything but stereo mixing and mastering work that the different DAWs are comparably efficiant at
@patrick5301 yeah like I think I said some have features others don't. Some are better suited for production. Ableton being one that is great for production. Fundamental all DAWs are very similar with the odd feature difference
@@AudioAnimalsStudio There are some boutique cases. If someone has a disability [one handed, blind etc] then Reaper is best for that. There are templates and Reaper can be set up in any way imaginable. Also DAWs tend to be track focused [e.g Reaper] or pattern focused [e.g Ableton] and some people have a preference for one of those workflows.
@musicalneptunian the fundamentals though are all very similar. Each have their own USP and unique feature set. Some features will better suit different people.

Wow your racks changes so much. So much recallable gear I love it. Hope you’re taking advantage of the new apb sales on Sweetwater.

Logic. I use it since version 3.5 PreApple Emagic. I can’t switch. Cause I love it.
@mistermusicenterprise3148 I sometimes wish I'd started out on Logic. Now I'm too invested into protools I can't get out.
The good thing is that Emagic hardware is still working on the newest Mac which I think is pretty cool 😎
