They had an external DSP and audio interface system, so what a full Pro Tools system was, was a Mac and DAW and external system combo, that was more powerful for audio than any computers on the market. It wasn’t just marketing like now- it was super legit. Like 25 years ago, Pro Tools was actually the best fucking shit ever, and although several other DAWs were popular, nothing could compete with a full Pro Tools system. There is no street cred factor, anymore- So iiif cool factor and street cred is an idea you might have about using it, that’s the worst reason nowadays. People who love it still have legitimate reasons to, but nobody cares if someone starts using it now. If you like the editing and workflow, then yah- I suppose Pro Tools is fine for you.īut lemme just say- that if the honest truth is that you actually want to use Pro Tools for some cool factor or street cred, just know that it’s not even close to being respected or cared about as it once was. The LICENSE to use it for its intended purpose is NOT.īut go ahead and tell me again about how I'm stealing and encouraging other people to steal. I never said that I disagree with the license costing $80. I never said I don't care if it's not free. You people are putting words and intentions into my comments that were never even there to begin with. Like it? Buy the license.Īnd I never said jack-shit was public domain. You people are making it out like I said "DOWNLOAD REAPER AND USE IT FOR FREE FOREVER!!! MUAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!" I'm not responsible for imparting all the knowledge and restrictions in existence on a subject. What other people choose to do is not on me. I use Studio One (that I purchased) and all I said was the trial period of Reaper is indefinite AND free. I feel the need to mention - again - that I never advocated for stealing nor do I do it myself. Everyone got a chance to try it, and those that liked it could buy it. It’s the reason Reaper has become so ubiquitous amongst hobbyists and professionals alike. It’s on the developers for including an indefinite trial period. If someone chooses to indefinitely use the trial period, that’s not on me. It’s not like I’m advocating stealing, but I can’t control what other people do. Nobody is just going to drop $80 right out the gate for software that they haven’t tried when they could try it for free first. Reaper is a great DAW and most people in the industry know that.Īnd sure, it’s against the license agreement, but: 1. The fact that we’re talking about it in the same breath as pro tools and studio one has shown what they were able to do with their pricing model and trial period. But if you insist on it, make sure whatever perpetual license you buy is current (it might not be, as they stopped selling perpetual licenses). If you’re starting from the ground up, I wouldn’t go protools. And there are bazillions of other options now. Logic, reaper, studio one, all are used in studios. But don’t buy into something because it’s the industry standard. They only really have a legacy because they were the only option for a while. They love forcing upgrades on you, and I think they rely too heavily on their legacy. My system would crash more than occasionally, and when they switched to the subscription I would as done. I could never get into reaper, and studio one, while the workflow is a little different, does everything protools did for me. I went to school and was trained in protools. I hate the constant barrage of meaningless visuals.Loads of people trashing avid and recommending reaper. Updated to Cubase6 and spent about a month with mixes on both systems doing some reverse engineering of why I liked the Akai's sound so much-could I duplicate that in cubase. Started needing to use the Cubase rig for mixes that would come at 96khz.or 40+ tracks.so, I was constantly patching and unpatching between "my system" and "client system".and I just got tired of it. So, I consolidated to all VIs in C4 on Windows for that.and ran the Akai for audio. Then VSL moved from Giga to their own VIs.but, I needed a host.and it was Cubase4. Maybe Roland VS? Later in that era came the Akai DPS24. So, I actually got a hand me down old Mac from my dad and updated to DP3 again for MIDI.so NOW.I have a Mac running DP to sequence.a PC running Gigastudio for samples.and a hardware recorder doing audio. then when I went Gigastudio (Windows) in the early 00's.I tried everything for MIDI there and wound up on Logic5, which ironically, Apple bought like the next year and stopped updates. Only one that could allow me to sequence to tracks played without a click. I started with Performer in the late 80s/early 90s for MIDI.actually, I had MasterTraxPro for like 3 months first until-no tap tempo to SMPTE? Performer was IT.
