blaez_minkoff « The best behind protools 9 »
Published on 08/15/11 at 05:19No problem installing or config with Windows XP (and incidentally Vista).
SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE
Sound Card: M-Audio Delta two 66, 4GB of RAM, and an old Pentium D 3GHz.
I rarely exceed 20 tracks each with 2 plugs (Waves in general) and I have never had any problems.
I had some minor trouble with 2 plug:
I regularly lose the settings made on the Altiverb. I do not know if the problem is actually samplitude or Altiverb.
Crash with Drumagog 5. Probably due to a lack of resources of the PC.
As against any problems with other plugs (Waves, Sonalksis, Ozone, T-Racks).
OVERALL OPINION
I use for samplitude audio (or MIDI, or Video) for over 13 years. I started with the 2496 version in 1999, 7, 10 and 11 today.
Weaknesses in version 11:
Absence of side chain on the external plugs.
The poor quality of the algorithm's time-stretching and elastic audio (much better on Protools 8 & 9 and cubase).
Phase problems caused by some filters (eg FFT of the Master).
Strengths:
The simplicity of the editing of objects (for me more instinctive than protools).
The presentation of the mix and the use of sub-mix, aux, insert and Master (weakness in cubase).
Clarity in the organization of files (much better than the "region list" of ProTools).
For me, this is the best behind protools 9 (more complete) but ahead protools 8 (because of the lack of latency compensation for plug-ins) and far ahead of Cubase (way too messy for my taste).
In short, despite its flaws it's still my favorite.
