Members BillyGrahamCracker Posted September 27, 2005 Members Posted September 27, 2005 Cool Edit Pro 2 (now called Adobe Audition). I use it just because I have it, because I've used it for a couple years now, and because I (sort of) know how to make it work.
Members moonhead Posted September 27, 2005 Members Posted September 27, 2005 longtime cakewalk guy. yet another moment of failure for me, as it appears on kestral's no-dice list. all my hip friends are saying tracktion...check it out.. best thing about cake is the user community. a LOT of good folks, although playng some very bad music...
Members lunarian1 Posted September 27, 2005 Author Members Posted September 27, 2005 I've been using adobe audition for a while ,

Members Kholinar Posted September 27, 2005 Members Posted September 27, 2005 tracktion here too... best interface hands down. I like it even better than garageband for simplicity with much more outright power.

Members RoboPimp Posted September 27, 2005 Members Posted September 27, 2005 Originally posted by Kholinar tracktion here too...best interface hands down. I like it even better than garageband for simplicity with much more outright power. that's not saying much
Members Grueller Posted September 27, 2005 Members Posted September 27, 2005 Originally posted by RoboPimp that's not saying much yeah, but tracktion is still awesome:)
Members Filterbank Posted September 27, 2005 Members Posted September 27, 2005 I too use Tracktion for a few reasons. I have an older Mac so I can't use anything that requires a lot of processor power. I haven't had an issue with Tracktion yet in that regard. Being able to freeze tracks helps. As well, I like the interface, very easy to use without having toolbars and palettes all over the place. The other thing is that there's no problem working on tracks on my Mac and sharing the files over the internet with my drummer who is a PC user. As well, Tracktion was FREE!

Members Kholinar Posted September 27, 2005 Members Posted September 27, 2005 Originally posted by RoboPimp that's not saying much actually it is. DAW software is really backward in it's approach overall. There are so many things that could be more intuitive, but they aren't changed because of what high-end users are used to. Marketing to that niche is great, but including at least a secondary skin for new users would, if it was done well, guarantee a good share of the next generation of high-end users. I've used a lot of the higher end software and I'm more than capable of using it, but if something can have the same functionality that the cryptic DAWs have and yet allow a new user to jump on easily, then it's a no brainer. Garageband, for example, lacks a ton of functionality, but everything it does have is easily found without any knowledge of recording or previous daw use. Whereas jumping from Cubase to Logic to various others, some of the most simple controls are put in very arbitrary locations. Tracktion does all the simple things simply. That counts for quite a lot.
Members Eddie Posted September 27, 2005 Members Posted September 27, 2005 There are a lot of great products out there. Sometimes it's more a matter of what you enjoy using. In my case, I prefer to work with Pro Tools. Some friends only use Digital Performer. I've used it and it's not for me. I've also used GarageBand, Tracktion, and a few others and always go back to ProTools. One nice thing about GarageBand is that you can import a MIDI file (e.g., Santana, AC/DC, etc.) and get it working with some cool sounds. Great to create backing/practice tracks I used a couple of free versions of TC Electronics and Bias software. I used them so little that I can't even remember their names
Members guitarchris Posted September 27, 2005 Members Posted September 27, 2005 PRO TOOLS LE is great!
