    I confess I do not understand this vritablement mania swear by Protools. Considering the prices pratiqus Digidesign Protools and reputation, I am very trsdus.

    What is the interest to work with a hardware / software more expensive than the competition and really better?

The other 4 taient a comp and a basic EQ Digidesign. I use Nuendo 3 and I can usually record 24 tracks simultaneously and mix as much (or +) with 3 different reverbs (home waves), a comp + insert an EQ on each voice, use of sub-groups with even other effects and I can not reach 20% CPU usage! Digidisign MRIT the sale of the new manner in which PT 7 plugins gre ... no comment
    Also I had several errors and crashes due to DAE (digital audio engine).

    OVERALL OPINION

    I used Pro Tools LE 7 almost 2 weeks to finally come back without hsitation Nuendo 3. In fact, the keyboard shortcuts are super complicated alt + shift + ["] for example and so must all the time going through the menus, the markers are difficult grate + and finally the edition or no programming noon and compared Nuendo. I often work on projects with long recording time (1:30 2 hours) and PT7 the "bounce to disk" which serves a mix multiple tracks to wav file Stereo lasts as logtemps the same time session. With Nuendo 3 for a project of 2 hours, 10 minutes to take the blender file stro.
    The price quality ratio is good because even when the audio interface (the digii002) is of very good quality. pramps the 4 are good and it is possible to route the signal easily. However, and this is rather teacher, Digidesign announces 32-track recording and playback or the Digi002 not be liable for only 18 to record (and still a little bricollant with spdif). It is impossible to couple two Digi002 to reach the 32 tracks ... not cool. I for my part rgulirement need 24 tracks simultaneously.
    In short in my case, I make a mistake by buying Digi002 and Protools 7 and I ENTSO. This material does not rpond my needs. I will not go that choice in the future. I sold everything and came back from Nuendo 3 with an RME Fireface 800. This is the day and night! DSOL for fans of Protools, but for me this log do nothing more than Nuendo. For the quality of sound, a good mic, good pramp, good converters and is jou whatever the software used.

    Hi all, I just invest for the version of Pro Tools LE 7

    I have an athlon 64 3200 + on a MSI K8N Neo, 1GB of RAM and two hard drives 7200rpm Sata 150, and an M-Box's first name.

    The software eats a max of resources (but not more than 6.9) but given the quality of sound that's understandable, and my config protools runs perfectly, even in the end mix with more than 20 tracks and a lot of plugs, when it is made auxiliary tracks to avoid putting too many plug-in, there's no problem. on the other hand 1GB RAM is required.

    The sound quality is impressive, even with a "small" m-box.

    It crashes rarely, when the computer is reserved for the zic, even on pc as long as not a whole lot of programs running in the background is nikel.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use pro tools for 2 years now, I've always does very pleased.

    The upgrade to version 7 is worth it, despite a reorganization of menus that I was a little disturbed at beginners (just take a blow), I am very happy.
    The amliorations that struck me most are:
    -The instrument tracks, they are much more convenient (no need to create an auxiliary track + one MIDI) and a bunch of small amlioration for MIDI, very practical.
    -The Drag and Drop, finally!
    -The possibility of grouping of the Regions as tracks
    -10 Sends instead of 5
    -The possibility to automate all the functions of a plug at a time, I use it rarely but it is super handy when you need it!
    -New plugs "Dynamics 3" not bad at all.

    So much for me, so it's true that the upgrade is a bit expensive (90) but it's worth, I regret now that I got used to the new features I think are essential ...

    In résumé, a small bet of the day Core audio manager with a better management of the M 1 box would be welcome.

    No conflict, I consulted the list of hardware compatible Certied ProTools Digidesign's website.

    The PC is also used for applications CAO/3D without any problems.

    The configuration software is simple but is not in 30 seconds. It is necessary to think its use and maximize their choices depending on the type of project that we will most often to treat. In my case, I use almost exclusively the software and features acoustic instruments (bass, guitars, microphones ...).

    Digidesign hardware I have is pretty basic:
    - Digi 002 Rack
    - Command8

    The manual and software supplied with the hardware they are well made and fast training DVD is very useful.

    Given the power system, the note is maximum.

    SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

    FYI, here's the hardware configuration I use:
    Intel Pentium D960 / 4GB DDR2 Corsair TwinX Platinum / CM Asus P5WD2-E Premium / disk system WD 250 GB Barracuda SATA and SATA 2 WD Raptors 36GB 10K RPM. The Raptors are exclusively dedicated to the Protools audio in the sessions and WAV + MIDI libraries.

    Absolutely no configuration problem, the balance is perfect and stability rarely seen. For those who have a PC meeting the requirements of Digidesign, the switch to Mac is absolutely not justified: soft and hard are perfectly stable.

    Regarding performance, I am far from having knelt or to approach the limits of CPU and RAM. It is quite normal tapper in a large computer system if you want to use the power up Protools LE.

    I usually have for each track:
    - A treatment of dynamic (or Digidesign Bomb Factory)
    - 1 EQ 3 or 4 band graphic or parametric
    - An effect (chorus ...)
    - An effect send

    For a couple of audio tracks and instruments together, not a problem.
    Note: I usually run with a resolution of 16 or 24 bits at a frequency of 44.1 kHz. It is unnecessary for me to go beyond.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I spend four hours a day and as much per night for a week.
    I am fortunate to be backed up nicely by a sound engineer friend who bump on PT every day.
    This is a quick way to learn and grow (by the way I thank him).

    The power of the audio editing is legendary and well-deserved, MIDI is as good as Sonar (I used a very long time) without the tortuosity of Cubase or Logic. In this regard, I do not like these programs to a purely logical reason, they do not fit me and I do not doubt that these are excellent apps.

    Pros:
    - Absolutely fantastic audio processing
    - MIDI accessible and simple
    - Perfect routing
    - Plugins available (and Ignition Pack Nomad Factory)
    - The warping of using VST FXPansion Adapter (super efficient and bug-free)
    - Plugins VST / AU / RTAS / AS
    - The hardware monitor with Rack and Digi002 Command8
    - The quality of audio jacks really very pro

    Cons:
    - The need to carefully consider the use of non real-time AudioSuite
    - Colonization by ProTools hard drives (not serious, but in principle)
    - The very logic pro, needs to be well studied

    For a high-powered software and really pro, you swim in happiness. However we will have to take a little head on the use and not be reluctant to refer to manuals and training videos. This is a production of the most serious that requires real learning. Once considered the logic, you have the total freedom.

    Price / quality ratio + Software Digidesign hardware: excellent.
    Switch to ProTools is not at all an innocent approach and may lead to some addiction. The great happiness come to the studio with just a DVD backup sessions and an iLok!

    SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

    I go to use it on PC which is only possible if you have exactly the configuration recommended by Digidesign (if not the dictatorship has!) Is I will use a dual-G5 proc 2.8 GHz: the software works well enough, a few crashes from time to time, but I think there are users habits, so one could say that even if a plant is stable. .. and yet I'm only importing or PT6 PT7 sessions in order to convert them into APRS PT5 and import them into my favorite editor http://www.sydec.be and reading sessions the maximum 32 tracks (in any case one can no more!
    The performances are those of the G5, so no comment on, missing is a train with a 3500 G5, and too bad what?
    Since version 7.1 I have a few crashes at the opening session and PT5 PT6, but must insist eventually walk, and also when I do a 'save session copy in' ... but hey
    I'll but a 3 for G5

    OVERALL OPINION

    I ing his (editor, mixer) in broadcasting for 6 years
    I use proutools 4 years in office really basic: opening sessions, backup, small ditions.
    What I like most is that you can be the pter saying "I have a studio in proutools" right now the client is listening, and I work with APRS software that really works, in short something pro.
    What I like least is proutools. But unfortunately I have no choice, it has become "the" flagship software in my area and I understand why, it's more expensive (in a version with which one can begin to work seriously: HD2 or HD3) in an LE version was working in DV image is an option as that protools is not done the work the picture!
    Some will say "yeah but you can do anything with," I would say "yes, everything ... but evil"
    So the ratio quality price is zero: a choice between breaking the bank with a proutools LE works poorly, or mortgage his house to a ProTools HD3 Accel thing thing that not work (evidence no major studio in the audiovisual recording over paris a master, or so fingers crossed with a 3324 and running Pyramix act and mix with their film Automation Could I speak not same)
    If this were a short again, so I would choose a PT LE because he must remain compatible with the other, until one day the TSA says "arrtez work on ProTools, we just go realize that there is better elsewhere for 10 years, but hey, we not silent sr, Americans use it only for 5 years "Pfff everything has it's lobbing.
    When I think that 59.99 for the Germans sell an app that does better than protools http://site.magix.net/french/accueil/

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use the PT since I got an MBox 2 Mini, so ago about two weeks. Before I was in Cakewalk Pro Audio 9 ... and of course the difference is incroybale ... but it would with any soft recently. I also have Sonar Home Studio 4, good software, but for about the same price as the PT, the Digidesign wins the round easily.

    Pro Tools 7 LE is a little hard to understand (and very ugly manual virtual long) for a beginner, but after two weeks without progress, I'm doing almost perfectly. The interface is simple and convenient, the sound quality is great, the plug-ins are very good. Only the MIDI editing is a bit disappointing. It's crazy to say, but with all these new opportunities (interesting for that matter!), It was difficult to do things that Pro Audio 9 is! But I think with a few days of practice, I could get used to this.

    The tracks available are ample for the home studio, I have not yet reached. My only real complaint is the inconsistency with VST and VSTi. Before I get the software, I did not know that inconsistency, and right now, my and my Kompakt Lounge Lizard feel quite alone on my computer! It's not too bad now that there Fxpansion VST to RTAS on, but the good 100 bullets surplus was not expected and is quite annoying.

    Otherwise, top, the choice I would do without hesitation, the price / quality ratio is exceptional. I think the phrase that sums it up is this: The Pro Tools version is not an "amateur" an excellent professional sequencer ... is a smaller version. I do not know if you are receiving the difference, but hey, it means that unlike Sonar HS 4, for example, with just over 100E (or dollars at home), you get software in your size, but with power, sound quality and an interface worthy of studio pro.

    Good!

    No, pro tools is really a well thought no soft crash, a quick and efficient hard to match.

    - The configuration gnrale is easy?
    not much to configure for it to turn ...
    after to go further by against it must be known. But like all big software, you must understand the logic and learn the tricks.

    g5 dual pro 1.8, 4g ram

    - The software works he correctly on this configuration?
    Nothing to say

    Pro Tools offers opportunities in almost infinite mix and edit:
    keyboard shortcuts, tools, office automation, ergonomics ...
    ringing sound, the interfaces are robust and well made (except preamps ...)...

    the big positives:
    the omf, being able to open its sessions in 90% of the same studio, the precision (tools, calibration, session management via worspace eg, ...)
    ergonomics, the keyboard shortcuts (you can almost do without the mouse) and especially stability, it does not crash ever and the little time we encounter a pb with a session (eg wrong file) there are 10,000 ways of recovered.

    Low points:
    all options (idispensable in many cases) cost a fortune, and omf dvtoolkit2 eg.
    plug-ins cost a trs expensive too. (But the best are in RTAS or TDM)
    MIDI, ill-conceived.

    than that of happiness, I use to work for 4 years (industry) and home (music) I see can do without it now.
    I used Cubase, Nuendo .... it has not come their ankle.
    there's just logic audio for MIDI which is formidable, but not stable and boring asser with plug-in.

    OVERALL OPINION

    1 year, after working three years on Pro Tools TDM.
    J loves the interface, the console emix and management of the audio signal in the bus. The possibility to continue the project on a pro tools!

    I dtest management noon. The acquisition of the DV option is not a good idea because a slowing too much, and even on a mac end xeon 2007; Bond metter of video on a mini window. Features audio medium, except for the mbox pro

    On a PC moderately reliable (plonasme) with 256MB of RAM and a samplitude, I could edit and mix uen twenty tracks with sampliutude 48khz, with full screen video on a second screen and plug in many. With logic that is a real software for music, we have the same flexibility in routing pro tools.

    The report price is not good quality, software brid CHRE card because "it helps to have pro tools" and a test solution to pass the moon is made of STL;
    Pro Tools LE Pro Tools will never be HD (which deserves its cons by reputable)

    I will not go that choice, but the magic word "pro tools" reassuring symbol of professionalism, and wanted a partner, it was "small" with the same budget, LOGIC STUDIO 500 euros and has only one audio card I think a firewire allows more bcp in all areas, since the video notement ^ trs open FINAL CUT

    checks the USB port which is connected Ms. Mbox2 (and yes it
    FAUS to be careful, Ms. requires a dedicated port in its own right!
    Computer users warned understand a little warning), it also checks a lot of little things that are
    explained in the manual (in French am the way, in pdf format) and there! its Tournai (BE says so ...)

    short, easily installed plug, we forget the VST, which
    is a shame, but after all ... all air stable,
    therefore see the use!

    SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

    I board up a bike for the occasion, has as its What was planned things so I well done! CoreDuo cpu 3ghz, 4GB RAM, 500MB hard drive, and all tralalala, two nice flat screen 22 "for visual comfort (have room on the display is very important when you have spent hours to sharpen a soft like this!)

    Finally I put my eyes on the interface of ProTools, I run a
    plug (kontatk3, EZDrummer) I plug my guitar on my ToneLab LE and
    mix on my desk ... and finally the Mbox2, I plug the bass, my microphone static short, I switched on the studio! monitoring the output of Mbox2 ok, everything seems ready! we take off!

    I send a drum track with presets Ez, nice keyboard
    kontakt sheet with three chords that I play in a loop, the first step done! I created a stereo audio track and I configure the inputs IN1 and IN2 to use what comes out of my desk mix, rec j'enclenche then I go into a little groove on bass, same for the guitar, then a friend has played the voice of improv a third runway, I want to set up a fourth in which I add small guitar solo ... Briefly, after the frenzy registration go to mix! then the balance on the plug, it compresses, the EQ, reverb on, it automates levels, one chorus, the flanger, the limit is cut, the glue is off, on ... Briefly, the mix work and honestly we have fun! we add an instance of a solo instrument kontakt history to discover the MIDI editing and ... have fun a little less!! MIDI has never been the strong point in protools, I had heard, I read it everywhere, in short, was no surprise that I am a chouilla disappointed but overall it could be worse, luckily there Findus, my keyboard, it will not edit, we'll play live and edited behind, will be more lively and spontaneous! with my qualitées recognized as a pianist I board successfully aligned three notes of saxophone and worse voilou ... we touch a little, we shall deliver up its fleet because its a little but do it anyway! short, MIDI Editor sufficient to edit a live recording but not to edit GG pretty complex sentences directly in the sequencer, or to my 9, to say that symbolic
    I am disappointed but after all was to learn gymnastics

    What else, I board already doing a fine novel! place further notice

    OVERALL OPINION

    I would say that time spent helping the rage of the installation only a few few little crashes disrupt the whole, was otherwise stable, just not bad swing track, more than enough in a home studio, the Sound is really good, the protools (and its companion the Mbox2 in my case) is not a scam small budget, if you want to start using equipment that holds water and then turns pro digidesing signs a interresting offers accessible

    not everyone can afford ProTools HD and digidesing understood it and even if this app is not as powerful and flexible than its big brother HD remains a good investment for which the means learn to use it ^ ^

    The main advantage of Pro Tools LE is its compatibility with Pro Tools HD: you can start a project home and complete it in a studio with HD can be taken in the studio back home HD and making the edit, even if you lose the plugs, and if we limit the number of tracks returned to the once. Simply replace the plugs unavailable on the other of the same type (for editing will do), and disable / reenable the tracks according to his need IMMEDIATE. In my case, Pro Tools multitrack magntophone Whereas a broad offering editing capabilities, appearance Reduces twelve o'clock as the simplest. Note, however, some internal instruments correct, but the edition I am working on twelve o'clock Logic.

    Do not expect to find everything you need in a single program: dpend all of your expectations, and the way you work.

    I work on Logic for Fast Fashion for MIDI (I need to visualize a partition, and twelve o'clock edition in Logic is really sharp)
    I work on Pro Tools 7 LE for audio (my audio files are no problem and forth between Logic & Pro Tools, Logic, except that the files reconnat stro interlacing, while Pro Tools LE 7 CRE 2 audio L & R).
    I'm working on final edit for the professional orchestral scores.

    The manual is a bit rbarbatif and easily dcourageant who has not the basics. I had the chance to learn intuitively as and, looking over the shoulder of his ings in the studio, I noticed that everyone had a mthode is what makes this software so versatile to use: if you want to get something, it is rare not to find an easy way to get there. I also had the opportunity to record live with a Digi 02 & pramp RME OctaMic: once the levels are calibrated yapuka ... and there was plenty of time to re-work on session later ...

    Caution: Do not overload plugs with: it can quickly be limited: to promote the plugs such as Hall & dlais on the track, and submit tracks by bus to the activity processor SAVE

    OVERALL OPINION

    The +: display of waveforms, shipping fast and intuitive, editable work area in a click or a keyboard shortcut ...
    The -: MIDI but usable limit

    In rsum I am satisfied with this program if I did not fail me, for its flexibility edit audio, (and to give a clean mixing session on an HD ing when the budget allows ....)
