Taking the slow road
As I read about how some pros dislike the computer-based DAW systems, (ok I guess they're talking Pro tools? But I guess also that it could be any PC/Mac-based software recording and editing systems) I wonder what they have to say about similar, but not the same, dedicated/standalone DAW units.
This, I don't think, is a digital vs. analog thing. I say that because I haven't (yet) heard the same stuff about adat, hdd recording, other digital media systems that I don't know about. Maybe the same is true about those also, I'm still new to this all.
Ok enough prefacing, I'm wondering if the complaints about sound degradation from software editing on PC/Mac is also true for the dedicated units (Roland, Fostex, Tascam, Korg, Etc.).
Of cousre, the pros won't find the small-tracked all-in-one dedicated units in studios, because they don't need them. Duplicate features and fewer tracks, (and I'm assuming here, not as easy to "fly in" tracks to them) etc.
There are digital all-in-one things like Radar that I have read a lot of pros using. I could be mistaken here in that Radar is what pros hate and also PT, but what the hell do I know? I'm still trying to figure this stuff out....
I guess this is what happens to the brain when it is reading more than interfacing with acutal pros in reality.
Am I making sense? Are these the 'hidden secrets' of a closed underworld of masked mysterious so-called pros in a very mercinary, competitive field where blood bonds are made and held and secrets heavily guarded, or is that stuff only for those who go to Yale, or the tri-lateral commission?
