I am going to learn Cube but right away I run into sht...windows that dont have obvious sizing handles,stuff changing out of the blue..
one thing is where is the obvious control clik for the moving cursor bar.....you can lose it and there isnt an obvious icon to get it back like in GB. GB might be a toy but its layout is BETTER than these pro daws...I hated Reaper because it was fkkd to get back to screens
and stuff. I noticed Cube is a german coded project... I would like to ask one of the 20 coders that are listed on their site..why couldnt you just make the Window sizing buttons like they are in any window....off/on/and right clik resize...is that a European thing to make it difficult??
I couldnt figure out how to make the mixer smaller...that shouldnt happen...maybe someone could make an aftermarket GUI for these DAWS that makes moving around as easy as GB...Apple coders are just better at making people GUIs.
I am glad I didnt buy either GB or Cube. DAWS arent worth buying until they make them easier to use..
WHOA!
Ok, so what you ran into at first is the fact that that you have more options and things that you really need control over if you want to create a great project.
Just 3 hours ago, I had a friend over that uses GarageBand. He had no idea what a 'crossfade' was. That is enough to tell me that he either has very limited experience, or that his GB DAW is not going to be the appropriate software for creating professional tracks.
I am not sure what to say here other than: take the time to learn a DAW software, or give up and pay someone who learned it and record for you.
It really isn't that tough if you take the time. Just the steps to record are the easy part. It gets way tougher when you have to figure out how to get things recorded.
Sorry, but if a DAW is too complicated, you need to pay someone to record you because there is a complete shit-ton more to learn and second guess yourself about...
No offense, but this is only the beginning...
