| Does anyone have any experience with this recording sfotware?.. I'm used to using protools 7.1 M-Powered which to me seems straight forward. I'm a little apprehensive about spending the 300.00 bucks on this program and it be too diffucult to learn. Basically I'm trying to record instrumental CD of contemporary top 40 country songs which haven't been done on a steel guitar, at least not to my knowledge. Material that I'm very interested in doing would artists like Gary Allen, Keith Urban and Rascal Flatts material. Any help would be appreciated. |

I would stick with what I know. Don't fix it if ain't broke. Does ProTools do what you need to do? Cubase has more Midi editing and comes with a few more plug-inns than ProTools. But it's hard to beat ProTools for just straight ahead audio recording.
Spend your time palying and recording instead of dealing with learning a new program that's not going to make your recording any better.

The problem is that I'm forced to go to Cubase Studio 5 because is it the only software that supports Vista X64. Protools 8 only supports Vista 32 and from what I read on the forum of digidesign they don't have any plans on making protools X64.
So this is my situation. I have already bit the bullet and ordered the software. |

Cubase in general is an easy to handle recording software. I use Cubase Essential 4.
Cubase5 has more bells and whistles.
there is no law that says you have to ultilize everything it offers.
you can easily navigate the program and use the parts you need....since you ordered it. |

I have been using Cubase for quiet a while. Since Atari days and teaching it, too. It's a very versatile program. It started as a midi sequencer and then audio capabilities were added. I believe the latest versions use the audio engine from Steinberg's Nuendo audio recording program. Good audio specs, lots of plugins, constant development.
I find that beginners take to it pretty easily while those with experience have little trouble at all. |
