Members SexWithRobots Posted September 29, 2012 Members Share Posted September 29, 2012 I am starting to work on some orchestra stuff again using East West strings and I had originally started using it in FL then tried Sonar but not sure if I dig either of those, is there a better DAW that would be better for setting up a large amount of midi tracks with easy workflow with midi?

Members Miter Gauge Posted September 29, 2012 Members Share Posted September 29, 2012 I would urge strongly that you to check out Reason. I used to use it with Protools then I realized that Reason does most of what I need it to do (recording, editing and sequencing) without me even needing to launch PTs. I've collected about 40 gigs of samples and loops and I'm crazy about this program. Hit me up if you want more information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SexWithRobots Posted September 29, 2012 Author Members Share Posted September 29, 2012 I have also heard Cubase is a good one. Would reason or cubase work a lot better than Sonar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members maggotspawn Posted September 29, 2012 Members Share Posted September 29, 2012 I use an ancient version of Cubase on Win XP. It rules for midi stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Rizza Posted September 30, 2012 Members Share Posted September 30, 2012 Ableton Live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Zeppelin Rules Posted September 30, 2012 Members Share Posted September 30, 2012 Logic is pretty good for that stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Rad Machine Posted September 30, 2012 Members Share Posted September 30, 2012 For writing and arranging, i'd say Ableton Live or if you have a mac, logic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members OverDriven Posted September 30, 2012 Members Share Posted September 30, 2012 Ableton live is the ultimate electronic/sample based music composition tool. It's the only software I've used that I can say is really inspiring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Nerine Posted September 30, 2012 Members Share Posted September 30, 2012 Midi editing and composing is one of Cubase's strongest suits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SexWithRobots Posted September 30, 2012 Author Members Share Posted September 30, 2012 Yeah I keep hearing Cubase. I do have a version of Ableton that came with my interface though I should try it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TomCTC Posted September 30, 2012 Members Share Posted September 30, 2012 Logic is pretty good for that stuff Its incredibly good for that stuff, plus about anything else you can think to do in a DAW. Logic Pro FTW, imo. Check it out as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members anibawl Posted September 30, 2012 Members Share Posted September 30, 2012 I've always composed on Guitar Pro... then exported the midi into Logic. Maybe I just like all the Guitar Pro tools and interface. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members chevybusa Posted September 30, 2012 Members Share Posted September 30, 2012 Another +1 for Reason and Logic... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Shask Posted September 30, 2012 Members Share Posted September 30, 2012 I used Cubase for years and recently switched to Reaper. Main reason was because Reaper is very cheap compared to the others and I don't feel like I miss anything. It has pretty good MIDI editing and I have not had issues with VST plugins... simple security, and basically it just works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
