The mic I used at a real studio

[Eagertone]

it's all about what you like. to each his own.

i had to learn protools to work at this studio i'm at, so i got a 002R and learned it. now my fingers know protools, and i have a hard time working on any other platform (even logic, sonar, etc... the ones i used to use). it has become intuitive for me.

i know you can do omf and such, but it's also convenient to be able to send my sessions to a real pro studio (work, or some other place) for critiques, finalizing mixes etc.

to just say protools sucks is like... "dude! chocotlate chip cookies suck! snickerdoodles are WAY better!!!!"

pick what you like and be done with it. don't make it a conquest to monopolize one daw and convert all users to use that one.

you paid for the recording I'm sure the guy would be more than happy to tell you what you paid for. I hope there wasn't $10,000 worth of gear in the chain let us know when you find out.

in my personal experience conversations often go like this..

me: "yeah I have abit of a home studio going"
Musician:"oh do you have pro tools and stuff?"
me:"no I use Cubase"
Musician:"oh okay.. I guess you just do demo stuff then?"


Makes me rather annoyed of course it's better than this...

Singer:"whats this weird mic.. I have a 58 in my car.. everyone knows they're the best vocal mics you can get"

but nothing is worse than this

Guitarist: "no, my guitar sound isn't because I have the gain and bass nobs set to 10 and the mids and highs set to zero, it's because your Mic/pre/chair/girlfriend isn't valve!"



oh wow.. I realy got off topic there... oh well... sorry guys

I work much easier in Pro Tools, but I hate the track limit of LE and a few other small things that most other DAW's have that Digidesign seems to be oblivious to. For example, if I solo a track that's connected to a bus, it doesn't solo the bus. WHY THE HELL WOULD I SOLO THE TRACK IF I DIDNT WANT TO HEAR IT? Same goes vice versa, if you solo a bus, it doesn't solo the tracks attached to the bus. Annoying stuff like that. It can also have iffy plug-in support compared to some DAWs. I've had the experience of using some plugins that work fine in every DAW except for Pro Tools, but when you use it in Pro Tools, it crashes, sets your computer on fire, and doesn't call the fire department.

Anyway...
