I have been mulling this over in my head for quite a while and could really use you peeps to help me put light on this situation,
Im looking at going protools, Im in two minds about this. I use cubase currently and I love using it, its got all I need and so much more to grow. I also have unlimeted expansion abillities. And the way protools is structured I just have a morale obligation against it. I dont understand the need for the "professional standard" and all the people who use protools as a reason to use a studio. Not to mention the combatibility being restricted to AVID.
BUT!!! and a very big but. . . being back at uni, doing related work makes using cubase very hard. our uni Is based around Protools and logic, Logic is out of the running because I can't afford a mac, And dont really like the Idea of hackintoshes. We do have cubase but it is 4 studio, which makes it as useless for transfering work as the others.
Which is why Im thinking protools, I have alot of recording work to do this semester. and Im thinking if I use protools, I can record at uni and take it home and vice versa. Making work a hell of alot easier. I can also collaborate very easily with others Im working with. I was in the studio earlier this year recording drums and It took me about an hour to sort out all the files from one programe to the other. Also taking a course in music production learning pro tools can't really go against me.
It would have to be m-powered because I dont like the m-box, Im finding it hard finding the technical differences between them. I would have to buy an M-audio fast track ultra 8r because that meets my requirements and I cant afford the 2626. So any advice reguarding the interface would help alot.
Thanks for the time helping me put light on this decision, I want to make it clear I dont want to go protools for protools sake and that itz teh bst! Just for a hell of alot of time saved recording and transfering work between multiple sources.
