No matter what you say about digital formats, they just dont sound the same as analogue.
You can write your vanilla verse-chorus-verse simply by recording then copy and pasting. Its so easy to take editing tools for granted. I thought analogue tape had all but become extinct, which truely is a shame. Its quite interesting you state analogue tape as your prefered format. I used the term better in a slightly misleading way - all i meant was that Pro Tools' digital recording when run thru its mixer was less faithful to the original recording, as I result of it rounding up numbers While at uni we used Pro Tools, Cubase, Reason and a dozen others, and we used both Macs and PCs.
If I have the choice, time and budget, my preferred platform is 30ips 2" 16-track analogue tape and a desk that doesn't have SSL on it anywhere. The industry views the ability to deliver optimised Protools sessions from whatever source as essential these days. Plus I'm often going the other way, out of Protools as a comp, into Logic or Nuendo etc. How many times have you needed to bounce a Logic production into Protools for final tracking and mixing? I do it almost every week. The ability to work across platforms is invaluable too.
only as an extension of their studies of acoustic and digital production, effectively we're trying to teach them how to evaluate a system for their own needs and not for what someone else thinks of it. No system has every solution for every user, and your lecturer shouldn't be locking his students into a single platform, the industry thrives on transferrable skills, our students learn Protools, Logic, DP4 etc. It depends how you define "better" all the pro engineers I know who use Protools do so precisely because it doesn't have all the midi and synth bells and whistles that Logic et al have, they value it for it's simplicity and synchronisation capabilities.īesides, I use Protools for midi all the time, note-on, note-off, that's midi isn't it?
