What software do you prefer for audio recording or sequencing/programming?


And why?


lets discuss . . .

Sonar makes me sick cos its not user friendly unlike Cubase, FL Studio, Reason and Live

Im pretty cool with using Nuendo/ Cubase Sx , the GUI is cool, flexible to use.

the only snag in it is how it rewires with Reason which is why Im now stuck on the new Protools 8. PT 7 doesnt really cut it for me in terms of GUI and plugins but PT 8 is a monster and for the fist time Im begining to see why its the most preferred DAW internationally.

Producers?

Audio engineer?

Really? On nairaland? Half of these folks just knock a beat or two together, but I am not sure they qualify as Producer or Sound engineer. 


At the moment I am playing about with PreSenous Studio one. But I prefer the work flow of Ableton live.

In my opinion, there are more beat makers than producers. Beat makers of the lowest cadre are the 100% fruity loopers, above those are dudes who's got a hang of the midi controller. On the other hand, there are some great producers who cant even play an instrument but could tell the instrumentalist what to play.

Audio engineers, I mean the real ones really do exist on nairaland. I know some SAE grads, Protools Operators, Live sound engineers here in Lagos and trust me they qualify. How much more of my trumpet should I blow?

I agree. I have always shyed away from calling myself the following - a producer, a rapper or singer. I am of the opinion that I am more of a "Hobbyist beat maker". While I have Produced and made my own stuff and released stuff here and there on the net, I am still a Hobbyist and won't even label myself anything.

It is funny how many people call themselves "rapper" but are yet to sell a single CD or have a record deal, or better still recognised as one. [Your best mate calling you a rapper do not count].


There may be well be Producers et al on here, but I think they comprise of very little number.

As per your trumpet, this na nairaland blow am well well.

Speaking of music and what not, you may want to post your studio here like some of us have done.

Guy! Don't even try! I breathe FL man! Don't get it wrong, its not a hate for FL, i mean if not for image line, a lot of folks would still be finding it hard to make there own songs. Consequently, it stole a lot of cheese from producers who make beats on some serious gear(so i understand why some people are mad at FL) The good thing bout Fl is that its got an open architecture unlike Reason, but the samples are quite lame especially drums, bass and pianos. The most powerful plugin I think, is the Sytrus, its got some killer synths!

Well, to compensate for the weak samples, just rewire Reason or Hypersonic into FL , or get some nice samples online or make yours and free your music from the cliche sound that comes with using FL the way it is.

Get yourself an MPC5000 or atleast Properllerhead Reason4
