    Studio One vs Other DAWs...initial thoughts from my first few days

    Ooooh! I finally crashed haha. I made Studio One crash for the first time. But I pulled the crash report and it looks like an Izotope plugin caused it...so it wasn't even its fault. Happened while I tried to change the target LUFS metering range on Insight. A quick (and overdue) Izotope update...

    Studio One vs Other DAWs...initial thoughts from my first few days

    ...a group clutch is a global 'bypass all groups' function that allows you to turn the grouping on and off without having to dissolve groups. It temporarily deactivates all groups so you can make individual adjustments to certain channels or tracks without having to think about...

    Studio One vs Other DAWs...initial thoughts from my first few days

    Hey Andrushkiwt, I'm having a little bit of trouble with the groups. I figured out how to create them and rename them. What I'm having trouble with is I can't find the clutch. There should be a command in a menu somewhere to deactivate all groups at once so you can toggle them on an off. I'm...

    Studio One vs Other DAWs...initial thoughts from my first few days

    Been mixing with this for a several hours and so far so good. I started with a choir and orchestra I've been working with, but since there isn't any complicated video sync involved, I took a 70-ish track session and went ahead and gave it a go in studio one. I have an extra day or two to get...

    Studio One vs Other DAWs...initial thoughts from my first few days

    When I first got my PT HD license in 2010 I could have sworn on my mothers grave that tracking sounded better than Logic and Ableton though the same converter, same pres, same mic, and same monitors. I really have nothing to back that up with though, and some people that know far more than I do...

    Studio One vs Other DAWs...initial thoughts from my first few days

    My project needs for S1 are actually really really simple. The true need here was compatibility with two clients that are going to need a LOT of mixing on a regular basis (in addition to about 5 other home studios in my area) are all running S1. All 7 of those guys would love to get projects in...

    Studio One vs Other DAWs...initial thoughts from my first few days

    Have you had any problems with the stability of Professional 4? One of the writers guys I got this thing so I could work with made the upgrade so I could transfer files since v3 files aren't forward compatible. He says its crashing quite a bit more. I've had ZERO crash problems in the week I've...

    Studio One vs Other DAWs...initial thoughts from my first few days

    So first impressions on studio one remain pretty good. After the first several days of playing with it in little bits of free time I'm still finding it to be stable, organized, and easy to use. Some quick notes: The layout is very logic like, but the folder and file system with searchable...

    Whats a great DAW software for recording?

    Yes!! And I love it! I'm still getting to know some of the features a little better, but this thing is SO well put together. I'll keep using the other DAWs obviously, but I'm glad I had a good reason to pick it up. A ton of small studios around here are using it, and it'll make it so much easier...

    Manley elop Vs focusrite 430 or Avalon 737

    Tom, that's the point. This preamp is supposed to sound dead. And in doing sounding 'dead', what they also achieved is an immaculately clear, quiet, noiseless, and neutral preamp with ample headroom. My biggest gripe has more to do with other features on the strip. And I don't think comparing...

    Manley elop Vs focusrite 430 or Avalon 737

    To me there's no contest if you're really in this for a compressor. Here's an excellent video demo of the ELOP. And I like this example because it's being demoed in a way that highlights its true strengths. And its being demoed by an engineer that knows what he's doing, not some knob twiddling...

    Manley elop Vs focusrite 430 or Avalon 737

    The ELOP is an entirely different beast. It has a breathtaking sound, I've loved it on almost every vocal I tried it on. If the compression is what you're after, neither of the other two can touch the Elop, especially on vocals. In my opinion Manley has found a PERFECT balance between character...

    Re: Johnny Amato - My thoughts on Slate Plugins

    AH! You're right. I got the list by punching the word Slate into Sweetwaters search engine. So that's why I missed the S-gear. And the Eiosis. Those are in the tapes/bus/console bundle for $350. Yeah...I forgot about that one too. He'll probably fix that. I think people were having problems...

    Re: Johnny Amato - My thoughts on Slate Plugins

    Well, what else are you gonna do? I guess you could borrow it or steal it? The list of good options grows thin here. note: This is going off the assumption that you need the plugin. If you don't the answer is simple. Just don't get it. But when you have a task that requires tools beyond what...

    Re: Johnny Amato - My thoughts on Slate Plugins

    I'm gonna toss this in this thread so I can find it later if we need to. From Steven Slate: The software industry is evolving. And it’s going fast. The things we can do with 1’s and 0’s is quite astonishing these days, as I’m sure you’d agree. But along with the evolution of of the actual...

    Re: Johnny Amato - My thoughts on Slate Plugins

    That's a whole different conversation. I can totally understand why a hobbyists would NOT want to be stuck with a perpetual $15/mo subscription. I didn't realize you were approaching this thread completely from that perspective.

    Re: Johnny Amato - My thoughts on Slate Plugins

    Johnny, don't sweat it. Several others are adamantly against a subscription model and that's fair. They're completely entitled to an opinion that differs from mine and I respect that. I really do. That's part of what makes forum discussion meaningful. No one was suggesting you were broke. I'm...

    Re: Johnny Amato - My thoughts on Slate Plugins

    Here. Lets clarify. Affordability = the immediate monetary amount required to attain it NOW. (A moment in time) Cumulative Price = the total amount you will pay over time. Slate plugins = affordable now. I realize the subscription model may not be for everyone. I acknowledge that you won't...

    Re: Johnny Amato - My thoughts on Slate Plugins

    Ouch. That changes things. Given THAT scenario I would agree with you in that free plugins is the way to go. I was talking about someone with bare-bones basic recording gear looking to get their career going in audio recording. They're selling services. I see where you're coming from now. If...
