I posted this topic to find out which is the most popular recording software around here. I use Vegas but it doesnt seem to be as popular as I thought.

Mar 24, 2003 03:51 pm hey db, this sounds like it might be a cool thing to have a running poll on.
Mar 24, 2003 10:32 pm Ya and after the poll we can beef up the production software section of the gear bag from the results!
Mar 24, 2003 11:09 pm I vote for Sonar.
Twice.
Was there ever any doubt.
Mar 25, 2003 02:58 am im an acid 4/fruityloops studio/wavelab4 user myself. quite a bit of love for those products. makes recording real easy.
Mar 25, 2003 08:27 am (From underneath a powered wig)
I hearby solomly attest to Cubase SX.

Mar 25, 2003 10:02 am Cubase SX - started using it about 2 months ago and never turned back. Before that I was a Vegas user.
jues.
Mar 25, 2003 11:07 am I have to throw in my vote for ProTools, but I'm seriously considering a switch to Sonar.

Mar 25, 2003 11:35 am Well, I can't go completely over. I still have to be the resident ProTools guy around here!
Mar 25, 2003 05:48 pm [sarcasm]
I use my trusty reel to reel...
[/sarcasm]
Cubase SX, Intuitive MX, Fruity loops, Wavelab 4
Mar 25, 2003 05:53 pm I'm a big fan of Cool Edit Pro 2. It suits my needs right now and I love the interface.
Since I'm pretty much a beginner at all this tho, maybe someone could tell me what I'm missing out on, features other programs have that I should want or would make my life easier doing certain things.
I think blueninjastar's idea of a running poll is great, and putting info about software in the Gear Bag is totally thumbs up with me. It's a very common questions for us newbies I'm sure.
Mar 25, 2003 08:35 pm Sonar all the way ,also Acid pro 4.0, Wavelab 4.0, fuity loops ,and Vegas Video 4.0 for vid stuff .
Mar 25, 2003 10:10 pm [best yoda voice]
Use the Sonar Blue
[/best yoda voice]
Mar 26, 2003 04:40 am For recording single individual channels and stereo pairs (not multitracking) I've become rather adept with WaveLab v3.03 I'm very familiar with it and it meets my needs for sampling bits and things off my minidisc.
If I ever get around to tracking out some guitar (the main reason I bought all this stuff in the first place) I'll be using Cakewalk Pro Audio 9. I havn't mees with it much, but if Sonar is really that much greater than Pro Audio 9, then Sonar must get my vote. Plus my *.bun files are compatible with my friend's Sonar program, and that's a plus. Having fooled around on it a bit, if I had the cash to plop down on it, I'd go with Sonar.
Mar 26, 2003 07:07 am all i know is i used Home studio XL before and thought that was great , until...(loud mystical voice ) "SONAR"
Mar 26, 2003 07:49 am Ya, I have spent a lot of forum space beating on Cakewalk, I have to admit though, Sonar was a good step, but not quite good enough, then Soanr 2 got better. Sonar 2.2, tho, is something quite great.
The only thing it is missing is 5.1 mixing. I considering how they toot their horn about working with video (which it does quite well) I am really surprised they haven't added 5.1 mixing yet.
Still tho, a great huge, giant leap for Cakewalk kind.
Mar 26, 2003 11:36 am The main reason that I haven't made the switch to Sonar is that my I/O unit is the Digi 001. I believe that Sonar will be supporting this I/O soon, but haven't heard that the support is there just yet. However, I'm considering picking up a MOTU 2408. If I do that, I just might end up with a Digi 001 for sale!
Mar 26, 2003 11:49 am Well, that's it. I'm installing it tonight!
Mar 26, 2003 04:35 pm my friend at em411 gave me this link
store.yahoo.com/cakewalkdirect2/son20upfromp.html
right now you can upgrade to Caekwalk Sonar v2.2 for $99 for registered users of Cakewalk Pro Audio 9! the shipping's even free! whoa! i'm seriously concidering doing this. the prospect of full automation, ASIO, all those sick DXis... i might wet myself!
anyways, i just got off the phone with 1-888-CAKEWALK (1-888-225-3925) and Zack said that even thought the sale's only gonna last for 5 days, he says they do it all the time, like maybe once every other month, so i think i'll have to wait a bit, but wow, i mean.. the whole reason that turned me off to Sonar was the price.
just wanted to share that link ;O)
Mar 26, 2003 07:09 pm Hey dB, do ya think I should email the guy at CakeWalk this thread?
The new Project5 software from CakeWalk is going to blow everybodys mind. It has the ability for 5.1 an beyond, or so I am told. It also allows use of VST as a native format. And it will allow the use of almost all the soft synths and sampler out there. Although the stuff the include in it is way over the top as far as software goes. When it is coupled with Sonar you will have every single tool you will ever need right at your mouse click. And along with the fact it will use Rewire support just like Sonar, everything will run like one big fat juicy unit.
Man I am so stoked to get it here and get it in.
Mar 26, 2003 07:36 pm Oh man, this is sparking a whole other question in my mind! I'm really starting to think that I shouldn't have ever bought my Digi 001! Even though I know I can use it with Sonar, I'm thinking that I might be much better off with a different I/O. Hmmm... might have to start another thread.
Mar 26, 2003 08:09 pm Hey Blue
Please Note Sarcasm:
Told ya so, told ya so
:-)
Mar 26, 2003 09:14 pm Oh, you guys are getting some kind of sick satisfaction out of this aren't you?
Mar 26, 2003 09:44 pm [best evil emporers voice]
You will be
[best evil emporers voice/]
Mar 26, 2003 11:37 pm You bet we're getting sick pleasure out of this protools boy! Yeah I use Sonar when I want to do stuff with my cool DXi's since I don't know how to do it in cubase Sx since my puppy used the manual as toilet paper... oh well. lol. But yeah, my most used Apps are:
Sonar XL 2.0
Cubase SX
Fruityloops
Wavelab 4
and I'm starting to Use Intuitive MX

More than you will ever know :-)
Mar 27, 2003 07:17 am [mumbles]
you'll all be using CubaseSX one day...
[/mumbles]
Mar 27, 2003 02:31 pm biggup cubase, although i record with cool edit 2 as cubase doesn't really like my soundcard(can i just mention how much i hate my audigy- i wanna delta 44 please)
Mar 27, 2003 08:45 pm Well ferris, then save your pennys and go buy one. You can find them on sale frequantly, or some of the others have done go hit ebay and hunt one down.
Mar 31, 2003 07:22 am hay noize , i think cakewalk should be paying you some kind of commision , I think it would be safe to say you in some way or anouther have helped influenced most of the sonar users .
Mar 31, 2003 05:29 pm Thanx Geoff, I am trying to get the site hooked up as affiliate. It is a long hard road though. I am starting to wonder if I shouldnt enlist everybody here to write to CakeWalk and tell them how much we push their product here. MMMMMM not a bad idea, I gotta give it some more thought.
Apr 01, 2003 05:22 am it never hurts to have more support . the way this sites grown in the last year + , i can't wait to see how bit things will be in , say anouther year or so.
Apr 01, 2003 05:32 am In a year? try by the end of the month! ;-)
Apr 01, 2003 05:53 am hay db , you're right a lot can change with in the short span of a month . I'm just happy to see this site grow , and who knows maybe one day we all might be able to have some kind of HRC gathering to share ideas and a few "cold ones"
Apr 01, 2003 07:04 am A lot WILL change in a month...trust me :-)
I would LOVE to host an HRC convention and meet all the great folks we have here. That would absolutely rock.
Apr 01, 2003 07:10 am db you are starting to sound like some of my upper managment folks , " i can't say , when , i can't say where , but soon ." hahahah
Apr 01, 2003 07:13 am Well, I can't tell you where it is, or what stage we are in, but I can tell you it's frickin cool. :-)
Apr 01, 2003 11:42 am an HRC gathering... that would be cool!
Apr 01, 2003 08:48 pm Yesiree bob. Walt and I were gooing to try and hook up when I am in Indiana. When I go back out in April I will put some serious effort into making time to go see him. It will be the first gathering of the HRC staff, besides the beers dB and I share on occasion. It would be great to have an HRC convention as blue put it.
If any of you are familiar with the web site Tape-Op or their free magazine for recording. They started out just like this, and now they are in the top five recording magazines on the planet. Still small compared to the big corperate rags but very dedicated none the less. This site has made drastic changes and become so much more proffesional in the last 6 months. And within the next month I see some real big things happening because of the members and the staff of this site being so tottally dedicated to helping each other. I think this site will become much more present on the web very soon.
Peace
Apr 01, 2003 10:01 pm You said it! I'll drink to that! Although, I'll drink to most anything!
Apr 01, 2003 10:10 pm Speaking of drinking, I think Im gonna quit messin with this piece of jusmk box and get me a big Jim Beam and coke. I just tried to reload the flash player V. 6 and the box almost didnt reboot. I gotta find what is causing this problem.
Apr 02, 2003 04:57 pm Yeah guys, I know the changes that Db is talking about and things are gonna rock. But yeah, I'd totally go for a HRC convention, we could all hang out, talk shop, have a few drinks, and just hang out. Would be mucho cool...
Apr 02, 2003 05:08 pm How about an open jam too...what hell good would a convention be without an open sound stage!
Apr 02, 2003 05:56 pm If you can get David Gilmour to show up, you bet it will be! I've been listening to the re-release of Dark Side of the Moon all week! That album is changing my life...again...or, well, maybe just bringing me full circle.
Apr 02, 2003 11:38 pm I havent been to the UK since I was 19. That was a long time ago. I would love another trip over there. I love the way the beer tastes so much better over there. Or maybe it was just the waitress that made it taste so much better.
Apr 03, 2003 02:38 am hey, I'd go to England. We could catch a FlipCycle show while we're there!
