@ I purchased one, which expired… Now, I can’t get get the most recent update unless I purchase another one, which isn’t showing up in my account… 🤷🏽♂️
@ okay…what does the latest update have that you’re in need of in order to be efficient/creative? I’m asking to make sure that I’m not missing out on anything…I’ve been out of the license coverage for about 2 years and haven’t seen anything game changing personally…I’m still as efficient and productive as I was when I last paid for an upgrade
@therearenoruleshere bruh every professional studio has pro tools installed. Maybe I should have made sure to add professional but it was implied. You must have gone to the 1 percent.
I Compose Both In Maschine & FL Studio, I Arrange in FL Studio, I Record in Reaper. Currently learning Logic & Ableton.. What all these Daws have in common that's better than Protools? They're not subscription services 😂
I've always thought that being proficient in one DAW and knowledgable in the rest of them is quite the help, because like you said, you'll never know where you'll end up and when your knowledge will come in handy. Knowledge is good, no?
Well said, fam. I work a lot in some of the bigger rooms in Nashville (Ocean Way, Sound Emporium, Welcome To 1979, The Tracking Room, RCA, etc.) as a producer, musician and vocalist and in EVERY session I’ve done for the past 15 years in those rooms, we’re in PT.
I only have protools in case someone I'm working with is using it or someone requests Pt session. Other than that, I dont touch it. S1 is my main Daw for production & mixing. I also have Luna, MPC, Reason, FL, & Reaper.
Great Video, so concise and very accurate. Every great working big pro room in the world uses Pro Tools as their fall back. And to be fair it has it's +'s sound wise hence why mixers use it. It's well laid out and has a console feel. For beat, pick your poison but for a general top notch finishing product used by the top boys tools is in front. but to be fair history has shifted markers so I too do feel we are about to see big changes
I worked in computers for many years for software development tools companies. One of the things we just to say was..... The wonderful thing about Standard is there ae so many to choose from. Leslie Brathwaite is who you were talking about he's an great engineer another is Ben Thomas who is another extremely busy engineer who uses Pro Tools. Watching Ben is scary he works so fast in Pro Tools when recording vocals or similar recording. Vocalist feel relaxed and work at their own pace because Ben is so fast with Pro Tools the vocalist never has to wait for him so do another take, to record another layer, to put hormones on and double them. I haven't seen engineers in other DAW works as fast as Pro Tools engineer and that benefits the artist. Now I think your view on Pro Tools and DAWs in general is spot on. Each DAW has its strong suit and people use the DAW that fit their needs and workflow. My my days working Logic and Cubase were always the popular DAWs for composer. songwriter, they users. They had tools and workflow that was good for them. Pro Tools was used by people who were more focused on the engineering side, engineers work in TV, film, large format, editing and mixing it was the standard in that industry. Pro Tools was also use a lot by media composer and other who knew they needed to deliver thier work to TV and game companies who used Pro Tools. Pro Tools was used a lot as you mentioned by mix engineers and mastering engineers. As you said people really should at least be familiar with multiple DAWs. Basic Pro Tools is good to know because if you use separate mix and mastering engineer that is usually what the want is a Pro Tools session files. If you give them files from another DAW they will transfer them to Pro Tools and that cuts into the time they have to mix or master. Myself when I got back into recording recently I started with Ableton it was nice but things I didn't like. I moved to Logic it nice and a boatload of features and plugins, but still didn't feel quite right FOR ME. I swtich to Pro Tools it was the DAW I used over twenty years ago on my last paid recording gig. I felt back home and they say many who use and like Pro Tools have experience working in analog on consoles and Pro Tools feels a lot lie that traditional way of recording. So each DAW has it own specially and workflow people need the one that works for them. But as you said it is good to know a little about all the popular DAWs. I working Pro Tools, but I know of some features of Ableton and Logic I might jump over to and take advantage of then jump back and import the track into Pro Tools. in the modern age being flexible is key to paying the bills.
Seids & PLV & Jon Sine work just as fast in Logic Pro, it's never the Daw that dictates the users proficiency rather the users themselves, I liked Protools for what it was however my biggest reason for hating it now is The Subscription for what seems like very little in the way of improvements.
Answer is real simple just don't use it. No one is forcing anyone to use Pro Tools use whatever you like. You don't like subscriptions don't subscribe to anything, the decisions are all yours to make.
Actually make it easier for people using other DAW for production side then export to mix and master engineers who work in Pro Tools. The pendulum swings both ways.
@314DSFMUNCH Bcoz u don't own ish, coz it's another $199 or $399 for every update, bcoz they decided that a (Perpetual License) isn't actually perpetual 👀
Nyyyyce…John Mike! When i worked in larger industry studios…engineers always asked where did i record my productions…(LA, NY…etc) and i’d always tell them in a closet at the church using Pro Tools😂…and it’s true. If you record the source right then it doesn’t matter what you use…a .wav is a .wav (the idea of the “DAW” is there to capture ideas…PT/LP/S1 is there to TRANSLATE the production/emotion of said “idea.” Use what works for the idea.
Things I use Tracking Live Instruments/Vocals:Logic (Going back to S1 for tracking as well) Arranging:Logic (Most of my clients because I do mobile work are Logic users) Mixing/Mastering:Pro Tools (Will be using S1 to mix as well) You,Bolo and a few other dudes have broken down the ways of using what you use as well as what's needed when it comes to workflow. You and them are helping people especially the younger generation!!! Keep the help coming and happy new year!!!
Pro Tools 'used to' be the industry standard back then...btw.. With the technology improving at a fast pace over the years, PT is not the top of the line anymore...also all these engineers you listed is just a small fraction of many other great engineers that are out there especially in Europe/Asia ...places like Japan which is the 2nd biggest music industry in the world, who use mainly Cubase. Studio One, among some other incredible programs/technology that will put PT to shame.We just need to get out of our own American bubble in thinking PT is so great that its still the industrial standard...smh.
Thanks for the video. Great insight! Quick question: What is the benefit to the Mixing Engineer of receiving the stems in a ProTools session if you produced the the record in Studio One?
Pro Tools probably cater to those big producers you named because they know they do the big projects. This keeps Pro Tools as the Industry standard. You preached a good audio engineering sermon.
I agree. Depending on what part of the industry you want to work in, you have to be familiar with the staple DAW. As a live musician, get familiar with Ableton. If you're going to be working in major studios, be proficient in Pro Tools. If you want to start diving into major film and movies, learn Cubase. I would consider those the big 3.
A lot of geat points. Being efficient in different daws is a gem. Definitely if you working with a lot of people. For me I will stick the old roland vs-2480
No lies detected. I agree with everything you said here. Producers use everything and anything, people who mix for living 7 out of ten times use Pro Tools, obviously not everyone does, but far more mixers use Pro Tools than any other DAW. Also I have TH-cam links on deck to send to people in other DAWs how to send stems.
Mainly because I own a presonus studiolive mixer/interface…it just integrates extremely well with S1…even before I got the mixer I still had presonus interfaces…so I’ve just been in that space for years so it just made way more sense
Next time your Sweetwater reaches out, ask them what is the top selling audio software at SW. Spoiler: it’s Pro Tools, and it’s not even close. If you work in post, you might use Nuendo or Reaper, but PT dominates around the world. Same for mixing, editing, and recording.
He simply said "industry standard" which is correct. GENERALLY...your final product to someone in the industry will most likely make it to Pro Tools. This goes from music production to film scoring to anything audio in the "INDUSTRY". If simply referring to the standard, he's correct. Many people use everything but when it makes it to the final stage of mixing and mastering in the industry...8/10 the person will be using Pro Tools for the final. I use everything, most use everything but by the time a Kendrick, Drake, Lil Wayne album makes it to the final stage, it is most likely going through Pro Tools. If I produce a beat and send to and INDUSTRY artist. Chances are at pro level, his engineer will throw the beat in Pro Tools and record his/her vocals.
And that, is PRECISELY why it IS the standard. Anyone saying otherwise off-top has no idea what they're talking about and is immediately omitted from the conversation.
Industry standard doesn't always mean it's the best option it's just the one that everyone across the industry is so familiar with and will be in every major studio. The best of the best used Pro Tools over the years although there are a lot of options now those investments don't just go away. I believe Pro Tools was so good because they were able to run many plugins from their hardware it did not depend on the processing power. Computers today by that standard will make Pro Tools obsolete. The standards may be changing but I still think Pro Tools is the industry standard for now. i use cubase and I have been on Cubase since it originally released. I will never think about changing but because I know many people use fruity loops,logic, Pro Tools and Ableton I have to learn a little about them.
To be fair ProTools is the first DAW that existed!!! I want to learn as many DAWS as I can for the same reasons I don’t want to be in his or her space and idk my way around their DAW if they have to step out for a second!!!
Pro Tools , Avid Media Composer , Final Cut Pro and Logic are industry standards for the Motion Picture industry , Film Composers and Big time Music industry Not content creators, creators don not uses there tools to the full extent like the true industry pros.
I agree with your point first of all how are you doing, brother glad to see you and the conversation. I think you have a valid point however a DAW is a DAW it makes no difference. What you’re in the difference is in the person doing the work And how the work gets done at the end of the day all software is a zeros and ones binary numbers and if you can make those sound good, you have done your job lol regardless of high class, professional people names that we can both call or someone that’s not well known at all as long as the job is good at the end of the day that’s really what matters the standard is. They are ready for this. What are you comfortable with? What can you do your best with because we have full limbs and one head is that the standard people swimming out here with no limbs paraplegics half a body and they still are able to swim so there’s my point but I do agree with your point. What are you comfortable with? Great discussion I’m waiting to see you and Bolo get on that.
In many ways, Pro Tools is Windows. Its ubiquitous and has more installs maybe but its not the best of anything for anything and its hardly stable. Avid has used its relationships to position its product, which created the appearance of a standard. As Bolo rightfully pointed out as long as people had to go through more commercial and adjacent studios, people came up against the Avid tax. Times however have changed and artist and producers are bypassing Pro Tools cause they can, which reveals the truth. Pro Tools at one time was harder to bypass because of the hold Pro Tools STUDIOS had on the industry. The next generations of artist, producers and mixers are picking their tools and like Bolo pointed out, they're picking what works for them and I think that's a truer measure of a standard than anything.
Fl= Piano roll Ableton= Best Automation and macros Studio One= Sounds like shit, But Super fast workflow Logic= Great workflow and good sound engine Pro tools= Flat for mixing and mastering
Protools is the standard for engineers .producers that mostly mix their own songs . That’s different than BTMKRS & musicians that need tools to make music rather than mix music which is Protools weakness. And let’s be honest , the most popular daw is always the one that can be pirated easiest . At one point protools was the easiest, so it was the most popular
Pro Tools was pirated??? 😂 Pro Tools was never pirated due to iLok alone. Fruity Loops hands down, by and far was THE most pirated software. 80% of current FL users today started on a cracked version. No one ever told you they pirated PT. Stop that. 🤣
Appreciate the conversation. Pro Tools is still the standard for Post. Major film studios and broadcast television outlets mostly use PT. As far as I know, there aren't any major studio films mixed in anything other than PT, Nuendo (mostly in Europe) and Fairlight/Resolve. There are a number of independent contractors doing film/television work and game design in Reaper, but it's PT for the majors. You need to know how to use it if you want to work in those spaces.
Next time your Sweetwater rep reaches out, ask them what is the top selling audio software at SW. Spoiler: it’s Pro Tools, and it’s not even close. If you work in post, you might use Nuendo or Reaper, but PT dominates around the world. Same for mixing, editing, and recording.

As a pro mixer, I could care less about Pro Tools. I think it was the standard before other DAWs came on the scene.
How when it was late to the party itself? Cakewalk and Cubase were before it and have wayyyyy better features, although Cubase interface sucks to me.
