I have to revise my opinion on my favorite DAW.
Pro Tools is definitely the best for audio, hands down. I used to use Logic, but now - after using Studio Vision for a good two weeks and reading the entire manual cover to cover, Vision is by far the greatest midi sequencer ever made. Ever.
EVER.
Aahhh… another convert! You actually read the
entire manual? Good for you! Educational as all hell, ain't it?
I must agree that PT in OS9 is certainly capable of excellent audio. BUT (and this is a great BIG Kardashian-sized BUT):
They're NOT comparable. I read all of the stuff you PT guys write back and forth involving your Accel cards and farm cards and host cards and card cards in your auxiliary Magma chassis and on and on. That's an
awful lot of hardware that, even today, costs an
awful lot of money. Back then, that hardware was literally
Thousands of dollars, pounds, Euros…whatever
Compare SVP audio to PT LE or other version that uses
only the host CPU and that "Pro Tools is definitely the best for audio, hands down" opinion will suddenly become very debatable.
Now, before all of the haters start accusing me of being controversial and trying to start a war, please just stop and think about it first.ALL I'm saying here is that you cannot compare two systems that are so dissimilar where one of them uses the host computer only to control a giant stack of proprietary hardware. It's apples and oranges, or maybe watermelons.
