What is the best program for recording on a hard drive? Sonar, Logic, Cubase, etc... ???
 
I prefer Logic over all of em. But then again its the only main software I have used in the last 7 years.
There is a steep learning curve, but worth the wait.
Sonar and others are quicker to learn and may be prefered if you are just getting started.
And another note: Logic 5.5 Plat. is the last version for Windows platform and are now only serving to the macs.
 
dude........ there are 100's of threads and tons of polls about this here, and then covering much more than these

what about cool edit, and bblablabla
 
I'm basically starting over with our music. I'm looking into using ProTools for recording/mixing.. etc.
 
I checked out Logic 5, and I was very impressed with the effects and EQ capabilities. The user-friendliness is terrible though. Even the simplest functions are hard to figure out in this program!

This is true. But once you get it down..you would never switch to another program. Its rock solid with great effects, etc..
The manual is about 5 inches thick :eek:

Sonar,

doesn't take too long to get results and it's GUI is more user friendly than some of the other packages. Not too expensive either. I'm using Sonar with a Delta 1010 and an AMD based PC and yeah....A VIA chipset which I will NEVER go with that config again. I've got it working good but it took some effort to get there.

Download the Sonar demo and check it out.

Yeah, but like you said, They aren't supporting windows anymore. Why buy a dying horse?
 
Absolutely, positively, Samplitude. If it's the best audio you're after, as opposed to the best midi sequencer, Samplitude wins hands down.

Sonar was much cheaper (I paid $149), so that's the one I bought.
 
...

Can't believe no one has mentioned Nuendo.. may be expensive but totally worth the price...
 
Sonar or Samplitude

We are currently running Sonar on our preproduction rig. Works wonderfully for us under Win 2000 (w/ IE stripped from the OS), however; I cannot express enough the joy it is to use Samplitude. Wonderful program. I would say it is by FAR the most underrated software today. I believe they offer a great demo deal from the net... at least they used to. It was a fully functional version for like a month if I remember correctly. Check it out!

cheers

BTW... Samplitude also supports skinning... a godsend. (unless you like Sonar Console view)
 
Samplitude has been doing 32 bit float for longer than anybody I know of, and definitely have their summing algorithm down. I've been using Samp since version 3-something, and even AFTER I'm dead you'll need at least two crowbars to pry it from my cold, dead fingers... Steve

BTW, if Logic was a LOT more friendly, it wouldn't NEED such a thick manual. Fuck apple and their "If you can't beat 'em, eat 'em" attitude...

n-track

CHEAPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP hehehehe

I don't get why I would have to fork out a ton of dough for some of the other software here, when n-track does pretty much everything I need.

Does anyone have any major quammage with n-track? IF so let me know :D
