Which software you use to make audio recording

[Gabriel Sousa]

i wanna to thanks all, for helping me.

 

[JohnMLo]

I use Sonar 2 XL and soundforge 6 the most, N-track for simple jobs, Acid 4 for loops. Media player 9 for listening music.

Vegas rocks my studio!!

 

[bullyhill]

Sonar because I don't know any better.Thiugh I have a friend who keeps telling me to get cubase .

 

[James Argo]

Cakewalk Pro 3 for MIDI works.
SONAR 2 XL for Multitracking & mixing.
CoolEdit Pro 2 for audio editing.
Winamp for listening...

powertracks IS 24/96 (version 8.01b)

PowerTracks doesnt do 24bit/96khz Ive played with it a bit and its ok but quite a bit behind N-Track's quality and Flavio listens to his customers too.....

Powertracks DOES SUPPORT 24bit/96kHz. Compared to N-Tracks It is far advanced in user enhancements. I have a test for you.
Name One area that you feel N-tracks exceeds Powertracks.
(I don't mean to sound harsh)
I think that everyone likes the product they're used to. I've gotten used to several including cakewalk 9.x and I always come back to Powertracks!!

For me...

SONAR XL for arranging and recording, Nuendo for mixing... Most definately the best way to go...

d8b onto 3 ADAT decks for tracking

MOTU 2408 mark ii to transfer to the DAW (*NOT* recommended - I had a heck of a time getting it to work and MOTU support stank)

Tried to use n-Track -- had too many problems with it crashing. Now I have a good stable system:

Windows XP Pro tweaked for audio
Sonar 2.1 for mixing
Cool Edit Pro 2 for detailed edits and final tweaking
Ozone 2 for final tweaking (I can't bring myself to call it mastering)

Works for me!

Did you know that there is another computer platform besides Windows?

I got a linix 6.0 server sitting right beside me but I never ran any music production software on it.

This is an old thread!

I've been using Vegas Audio for nearly 3 years now. It's a real hate/love scenario. The interface is more sensible to me than Cubase. The editing properties are better than Cool Edit Pro. I've run into the occasional latency issues and crashes, but I'm mixing 50+ tracks of 24-bit/48KHz audio on a P4 2.0Ghz running XP Pro. The biggest dissappointment with Vegas is it's lack of VST support. IMO Vegas Audio would be the supreme champion software recording programs if it fully supported VST. Also, volume and pan automation functions in Vegas Audio are the pits! I would much rather have fader control.

I've never used Nuendo, but I would like to give it a whirl one of these days. Also, I've read a lot of mentions about ProTools being the same as every other product. Sure it is, if you are just basing it off of the software alone. The power of ProTools lies in it's hardware acceleration. Without the DSP and MIX farm cards, ProTools is pretty worthless. I prefer native software and plug-ins because I don't like Digidesigns planned obsolecence schemes and forcing the pro audio circuit to upgrade hardware every 4 years. I also don't like the thought of limited tracks.

I wish someone with brains would buy Sonic Foundry and release a new version of Vegas Audio that incorporates full VST support.

You Vegas guys, does what you
say go for Vegas Video? I noticed
that SonicFoundry doesn't sell
vegas audio anymore, saying that
all the audio is now in the Vegas
Video product.

Hey Tdukex, I'd be a little careful before spending a bunch of money on Cubase if you already have something that works for you, especially if you're doing audio. It may look like a superior product, and it would be if it worked. When I finally decided to find something else, the Cubase forum looked like Mutiny on the Bounty. I have never seen so many irate people in my life, especially when 5.0 came out. I was there looking for help but was drowned out by all the fuss, people evening threatening to sue Steinberg. Check it out before you buy at cubase.net. Since I switched, I have bought another PC, thinking maybe if I dedicated one computer to music I would not have problems. So, I tried Cubase last night, and have nothing but music recording and editing software loaded, and still got nothing but stuttering music back for my effort. No problem with Samplitude or Wavelab. And this is a PIII 700, 256 megs RAM, 7200 RPM 40 gig and 7200 RPM 15 gig HDs. Not a lightweight machine and it should handle anythng you throw at it.

I use cubase SX 1.051 for a few month and it is steady as a rock.
I realy wish I had enough money to buy SAW-studio. That's the best recording program I have ever seen on this planet. www.sawstudio.com But unfortunatly it is not cheap (Euro 2500) and it has no MIDI (yet)

for Linux. I'm not Linux expert, nor have ever tried using it for pro audio, but sure it will be fun.
