Pro Tools

[Arturo]

Ok, i just recently found out about this software for Digital Audio Recording "Pro Tools". Anyone out there who has used it before, can you please let me know where this ranks in comparison to the others, such as Cakewalk, Cubase, etc?

thanks

There is no comparison, Pro Tools is the best by far. There are several different versions and many plug ins to choose from. Go to www.digidesign.com to check out their products

Protools is basically Hard disk recording to the best professional level if you can afford to pay for it. You can use Cakewalk, Cubase, other software. At the end of the day the music depends on the producer. House music Started off with a $50 Boss Drum Machine and and a $100 Electro Harmonix Sampler 8KHz sampling rate without midi. Later on you had The Franky Knuckles, Masters at work, Todd Terry with $5000 project studios, I started with $150 in 1983.
House music in true essence is produced in the House not the Project studio.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOPS Sorry I forgot Aurthur Baker & COOL DJ HERC, I do not think that pitch control turntables went that way back. So at the end of the day you have non pitch control turntables for free, and Aurthur Baker with a project studio and the winner is COOL DJ HERC producing music for no expense what so ever. PRO TOOLS for $25,000 with CD mastering. I prove my point its the Production Technique and Producer but not the equipment.

By the way I am working on the first piece of music on DVD and it is going to be Freestyle. The DVD has 12Gigs of Data,
This piece of music actually mutates itself, you will never hear the same piece of music again. The project is called
DEVOTION VICTORY SUCCESS (DVS). ITS NOT ME BUT THE MAN IN THE SKIES, IT WORKS LIKE TAROT CARDS, MEANING THAT IT CAN DETECT YOUR MOOD AND PRODUCE FREESTYLE TO SOOTH YOU WITH YOUR TASTES.

I HOPE THAT THIS IS A GOOD PRODUCTION TIP FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO HOLD SAMPLES ON YOUR COMPUTERS. WHAT I HAVE GOT FOR VIRUS PROTECTION IS CLUSTERED DRIVES; AN EXACT IMAGE ON ANOTHER SERVER. AS SOON AS IT DETECTS A VIRUS IT CLOSES THE DEFECTIVE DRIVE; BUT I HAVE AN EXACT IMAGE OR IMAGES OF MY HARDDRIVE ON SOME OTHER COMPUTERS ON THE SAME ROOM WHICH HAVE NO CONNECTION TO THE INTERNET WHATSOEVER. FIREWALLS DO NOT WORK. YOU CAN HAVE A PROGRAM DOWNLOADED ON YOUR DRIVE, THEN CHAOS IS CREATED BY THE DATA THAT IS SENT LATER.

YOU CAN HAVE ONE HARDRIVE REPLICATED BY THE OTHER HARDRIVE BY A SET DELAY PERHAPS 15 MINUTES TO 1 HR, SO THAT THE OTHER DRIVE DOES NOT HAVE THE VIRUS BECAUSE IT DID NOT CATCH IT.
GOOD SAFETY MECHANISM. DEFEND YOUR DATA AND SAMPLES, SUPPORT THE CAUSE.
