What I like most about Cubase 6 is it gets the job done. I was able to import older projects i had created into the new version without a problem. Cubase 6 was easy to pick up. Most people say once you've used one DAW the rest are pretty much the same. I find this to be true but especially true if you've used cubase before. I do wish the applica...
The biggest difference for most users that spend a lot of time in their DAW is whether the User Interface is bearable. From day one I preferred Cubase's and its bigger brother Nuendo's GUI to justt about anything. In addition to this little things like unlike in Logic the software instruments aren't actually ancient. I love the VST 3 prot...
I was turned on to Repaer at version 2 by one of the guys writing code for one of their competitors.We're talking a DAW that cost 20 times as much. I was intrigued and tried it. The first thing I noticed is the amazingly small foot print it has. We're not talking bloated couple of 100 mB software. We're talking 10 mB. Put this a t...
I used to use Logic at Version 4 to 5.5 on PC back in the day. When Apple bought it and made it Mac only I went to use Samplitude/Sequoia who used to have the same distributor and wrote the Logic audio engine. Years later at version 9 I actually decided to give Logic another shot since by then I had switched to Mac (thanks to being able to run i...
What I love about it is that unlike everything else when you monitor in the box this sounds just better. A lot better. I have no idea what they do with their audio engine but it is extremely noticeable. Lots of small and big things that make life easy. For example if you freeze a track you keep a root project that when you want to make ch...
I work in it, there is room for improvement. The 299 upgrade is IMO too high it should be 199.- but it is a necessary evil.
On things that stands out with Express 9 is the power of the mixer and effects. I love the compression and options that come with it. The compression is something that a lot of software's don’t focus on any more. It seemed like Express 9 focused a lot on the mixing part of making great sounding music. I really appreciate the fact that you have f...
There are many options to tune audio in pitch and/or time. But the beauty of Melodyne is that it lets you change stuff inside a cluster of notes. For example got a bitten performance but instead of that major chord you played a minor chord? No problem you can fix a single note. It lets you do this with duration, pitch, velocity, vibrato, ...
I like how easy it is to make tracks. It is just a way quicker process in FL Studio than in any other DAW I've worked with, which is all of them. I also like how simple the mixer is. It's very easy to understand and get around. I'm not a fan of the way the "send" channels are set up, but I don't really use sends that often anyway. Image Line add...
I feel as though I would use this program more than I do. Considering I prefer to record live instruments, and I'm more of a ProTools guy anyway, this isn't really as helpful as I would have hoped. That being said, if processing drum loops and using them for your own compositions is your thing, this is a pretty great program. You'd probably havi...
