As always (also thanks to Mo for this), Steinberg listens to every customer idea and each revision reflects the market demands. The "Steinherd" (thanks, Mo!!) flock will carry you wherever you need to go.īuy Cubase if you want an intuitive workflow.
#Logic vs pro tools software#
Like Mo says, if you are hell-bent on being with the "industry-standard" crowd, then no matter what DAW you choose as your main platform, you will have to learn PT for sure.īUT.and it's a big BUT.if you are looking for the most comprehensive software that ships with 1000's of instruments, processors and plug-ins, then there is no contest. Cubase with their recent 6.5 release comes with more native amp racks, guitar signal processing and other jam-packed instruments that Pro Tools will hardly catch up. This, however, brings up the next point. While Eventide supports multiple formats, TC Electronics (their G-Major II is awesome for the $$) is only compatible with PT. For instance, I am a guitar player first and foremost, so I look for plug-ins from my favorite hardware designers. It may be redundant, but PT garners many of the third-party plug-ins because, it was, in fact, first to market. Cubase 6.5 updated their Mandarin and Cantonese languages as a show of faith to their desire to be unilaterally non-language biased. Steinberg is a German company, but they have always been hip to the market they serve. Henry Ford invented the automobile, but I'll take my BMW over any American car, any day. But don't let that persuade you in making a decision for your needs. American Made: The US is the leader in audio products. As Mo says, if you are concentrating on post-production or are looking to make a living as a freelancer, then it becomes obvious that you need to know PT. PT was the first into many aspects or home and pro audio recording. A HUGE factor is the "first in the door" item. I wasn't comparing products based solely upon capabilities, but was considering the entire scope of the issue. Mo Facta brings up some excellent points. It's multi-platform and in the long-run, easier to match with hardware, sound cards, interfaces, etc. I have switched completely to Cubase and will probably never go back. PT is just now adding capabilities in PT 10 that Cubase had back in the version 5 days. If you want the most comprehensive DAW and aren't swayed by the "industry standard" rebukes, then put your money into Cubase 6. But I am not afraid of replies that question my judgement. I know most people are afraid to go out on a limb and "choose" one over the other.
Although, I am an "analog" musician (guitar, keys and drums), it is IMHO the better of the two. Steinberg invented VST and is WAY more capable in the Midi department. However, knowing both of them intimately, I have committed myself to Cubase and will stay with it. PT follows that paradigm, so many of the older professionals prefer it because the "good ole days" feel and workflow. I am not a youngster and have been recording since the "old" days of multi-track tape. This does not make it better or worse - but those companies are not about to switch over to something else after decades of using PT.
#Logic vs pro tools professional#
First, it is important to note that Pro Tools has been in use in many professional industry-leaders, including Skywalker Sound. I have just completed an in-depth analysis of Cubase 6.5 and Pro Tools 10. It's all digital audio at the end of the day anyway. The only complaint thus far I have with Cubase is.WHY CAN I ONLY SIDECHAIN WITH THE ONBOARD PLUGINS?īut meh, they all have their downfalls I guess. I'm sure if I worked on it for 12 years it would all make sense but at this point, Cubase seems to be a way more thought out piece of software.
I'm sure 9 and HD is better but I think LE is a piece of junk and a waste of money for all those that bought into it just to be "pro". Is there some "pro" trick to getting solo to work through the relevant busses? I dunno. Why do I have to solo the source track and then the aux track if I am using it as a group? This is LE8 though, mind you.
In Cubase it's merely G and H but in PT I have to ctrl- every time. In cubase I press "3" and I've got a tool to split as much as I want. Why isn't there a tool for splitting regions? Dumb. Every shortcut seems to be one keystroke more than is necessary. Although I have been a Steinberg user for 12 years so that may be why. I've been working in PT lately, especially on the post-production gigs I get hired on.
