STUDIO ONE VS PRO TOOLS PLUS
STUDIO ONE VS PRO TOOLS FREE

I've been using LIVE for about 2 1/2 years (thought not as often as I use Sonar) and it's literally never crashed on me yet. I've been using Sonar (in various versions) for over 8 years now I think, and it's crashed many times over the years (all versions). This just proves how different users, different systems, have different results. I really, really like Live, but it crashes so often when I load big samples due to it being only available in the 32-bit version. weathered under aВ maelstrom of hydrated foliage smoke P.S - Sometime I browse the Cakewalk Forums a bit. But, I think that if you look beyond the tools, look beyond the craft. Not everyone born can look at a DAW and know what to do with it immediately. ::Do you have tools? Say a way of making your internal creativity tangible to others?:: Musician - If no one heard me, then how would I know I am a musician? ::Do you write music for yourself, or for everyone:: not in a tangible way though, more like an implied expression. Musician - Well I take something that I feel. I express myself through air vibrations and I rely on the reactions of others to spread the word that I am a musician.

To me the platform wars are a bit like arguing about which brand of cutlery you used, when the real question is how theВ beef bourguignon tastes. I like Sonar just fine (though it has shortfalls as well). I wouldn't have any confidence that I could bring a Sonar session to another Sonar studio and have it work either.ДЄll that said, I know that lots of folks have very strong opinions about particular platforms, but I don't happen to be one of them. That said, the same thing applies to any other platform for exactly the same reasons. There are just too many differences in terms of hardware inserts and plugins to expect a PT session that I do in my place to work in PT in some other place. I haven't been able to bring a PT session to another studio without bouncing to stems first in quite some time, though other folks may have different experiences. PT can use somewhere between 3 and 4 gigs of that.ДЈ. If, like me, you use lots of RAM it can become difficult. Most plugin manufacturers have a version of their product for PT ( В for PT plugin formats), but VST's won't work in PT.Дў. A couple things that you should know before buying it:ДЎ. You will see just as much or more on other DAW forums. PS You will see a lot of complaining about various bugs on this forum. Sonar is very strong in the plug-in effects department and has a decent starter set of VIs. (Note: Some companies like Sweetwater provide their own lifetime support.)ДЇinally, look at the included plug-ins and virtual instruments. I do not know about the other tools in this respect. If you do a lot of virtual instruments and MIDI programming, Sonar and Cubase have more of a history there. Secondly, if you do mostly recordings of live musicians, then all the tools will work.

ProTools + Nucleus is a great choice, but more expensive than V-Studio 700 (which comes bundled with a free copy of Sonar X1). If you like to mix with a console, however, this matters. If you are happy doing everything with a mouse, this is not a big deal. My advice would be to give great thought to the hardware options. Abletone is kind of aВ different category. You would probably not regret buying Sonar, ProTools, Studio One, Logic, or Cubase. I chose Sonar for three reasons: 1-bang for the buck 2-integration with V-Studio 700 which made it even bigger bang for the buck and 3-my history and familiarity with Roland and Cakewalk. I could not do what I do on Ableton Live without a lot of frustration, but your mileage may vary. Ableton can do traditional records, songs,В and scores, but not as well as the other DAWs. Sonar can do this, but not as well or easily. Ableton Live is optimized for loop and groove creation, electronica, trance, live DJ/dance-mixing, etc.

I have not used Studio One, but it has many faithful users and its last release was well-reviewed in trade magazine as moving it into a very competitive position.

The newest ProTools release will require studio owners to stay on the old version or ditch their old, expensive hardware, so some may take the opporunity to look around.)

The plus for ProTools is that if you want to take your work from home to a large studio, ProTools files areВ likely to be compatible since it is more popular in large studios because of its heritage as a 24-track tape machine replacement. Today, it has everything you need as well, but, as stated above, at a higher cost for the functionality.

ProTools was designed (originally) as a replacement for a tape machine.

Sonar is as capable of quality production as anything and will give you more features for your money and the support is better and cheaper than ProTools.
