I've been producing gospel music (southern and country mostly) for about 18 years. Full time. In addition to doing 170 concerts a year in the same industry with my family group, The Foresters. We also run a thriving CD duplication company. (Yes CDs still are needed!)
I've produced hundreds of projects all on the Roland vs platforms. Started with the 880, 1680 and then the last ten years on the 2480. I did my last session on that platform Thursday.
I've avoided the switch to Pro Tools (or any other DAW) because .....I was comfortable and could rock the 2480. I was aware of the limitations......and I was chicken....
Well here we go. Here is what is arriving next week:
Protools 11
Eleven rack
iMac i7 32 gig memory 4 terabyte 27"
4T external hard drive
Another 27" LCD monitor to extend
Focusrite 18i20
Focusrite October mkII (8 more)
Presonus monitor station
Avid artist mix console
Avid artist transport
Melodyne
A simple midi controller
3 Audio technical 4050
(Just adding to my large mic locker)
3 sony headphones
(Same)
6 new boom stands
A new 13 space rack
Furman power conditioner
(I already have and am keeping KRK 8 monitors and sub, Yamaha motiff 8 piano, Roland v drums, tons of mics. )
What do you guys think?
I've edited in Samplitude for years so I'm not as afraid of the learning curve. I actually got PT11 a few weeks ago and I'm doing decent in it. Need to ASAP my knowledge to the DAW. Using some great tutorials from the recording revolution.
I'd love to hear some thoughts.
