One Daw that I failed to mention in my last two posts is PreSonus
Studio One 2 Pro, which I used on a project fairly recently. I started
using this program when it was Studio One Artist, and was included with a
Fire Studio interface I purchased from PreSonus.
I later Upgraded to the Pro version when it was offered at half price
and because it supports video playback which I frequently use. It has a
relatively uncluttered graphic interface but still manages to keep most
of the features available on the main screen. Thus far this has been a
very stable program and I am looking forward to using it in upcoming
projects. A screenshot is shown below. Till next time. :-) BC![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1CVPkmaCTpLYc62BGmHHZcEooLuH2rT2rEWys4f27Q279fp_4IY4L2ycm9a37_2sLXMMphGPO_okGPHXEOFjrJDs4GFaD-rt6sJy8gtmchKgbI0ep8Z8Plrj1PdJlRn0hXyhZjocQAaQk/s1600/StudioOne2pic.JPG)

More on DAW's...
This is a continuation, or update, to the post I made over a year ago, regarding various DAW's I use as a composer/sound designer.
I ended my previous post with a brief mention of Cakewalk SONAR X2 Producer as one of the tools I use. At that time Cakewalk was primarily owned by Roland Corp, who was very good about updating Sonar based on feedback from it's user base. Just prior to my post, and unknown to me, Greg Hendershott, the CEO and founding developer of Cakewalk had announced he was resigning. More recently, Gibson Brands had acquired Cakewalk from Roland. I'm saddened on several levels because of this acquisition, first because Gibson Brands seemed to abandon certain products they acquired, namely Opcode Vision software, the Oberheim Synthesizer product line, and Music Quest software products, to name a few. They have also taken over much of Tascam products and plan to market SONAR as part of the Tascam Professional product line. Tascam, as many may recall, had already abandoned the GigaSampler/GigaStudio line and sold it off to Garritan, who likewise seems to have abandoned what was once considered by many to be the de facto standard in Software Sampler libraries(I see no mention of the Giga product on their web site). To add to my frustration, I recently received an email from Cakewalk asking that qualified people send in applications for the position of Lead Software Developer (what happened to the previous one?). I had just upgraded from Sonar X2 Producer to Sonar X3 Producer, which I now believe might be the last upgrade from the original software team. I hope I'm wrong on this because it seemed Cakewalk was headed in a good direction with their development of Sonar.
Enough ranting, I truly hope the Cakewalk product line continues to grow, and that whoever owns it will treat it as a beloved member of their family. Now onto more pleasant things.
As I had mentioned in my previous post, the DAW I use the most is Reaper, primarily because it is very intuitive for me, very stable, very powerful, very frequently updated, by the development team, and has a very knowledgeable user base. I know, that's a lot of very's. In addition to it’s very high sound quality, the included plugins are among the best I’ve used on any platform.
Another well developed DAW platform I'm using is Samplitude from Magix. I'm using version 11.5 of Samplitude Producer, which is not their flagship product, but extremely powerful and has a visually elegant interface that I find appealing and is nearly as intuitive to me as Reaper. Samplitude feels uncluttered and visually accessible.
A couple of popular products I have not mentioned are Ableton and Reason, which are very powerful and have a well established user base. Virtually all of my work is based on linear tracking rather than clips or loops. The aforementioned products tend to excel at pattern based recording and sequencing rather than tape recorder style tracking. Included in that category is Acid Pro from Sony, which I do own but rarely use.
Well that’s a glimpse at some of the products I use, my next post will probably deal with a particular project, the tools I’m using, and the process that’s involved. Thanks for reading, see you soon. BC

DAW's
On the subject of
DAW’s (Digital Audio Workstations) I’ve been pondering the best way to discuss
them and to describe why I use, what I use. This will not be a detailed review,
but rather an observation. So here it goes. Reaper is my go-to recording and
sequencing choice followed by Cubase 5, Logic Pro 8, and Sonar Producer_X2. For
strictly audio editing purposes I use Adobe Audition 3 followed by Audacity. I then save all tracks in .wav and .aif
formats so they can be transferred to Pro Tools for compatibility with most
studios and post production facilites. I also have Samplitude Producer as well
as PreSonus Studio One Producer which I keep for cross compatibility with other
musicians and producers. I must say at the outset that I own licenses for all
the software in my studio and firmly believe that if we use it, we should buy
it and support those who worked hard to provide it. Now on to the reasons why I use certain
software.
First in the line-up is Reaper, a complete
digital recording/sequencing solution available at http://www.reaper.fm/ for a very reasonable
cost. The interface in Reaper is very accessible and easy to wrap my head
around, while the program itself is easily the equal in power of other major work
stations. One of the main considerations for choosing a DAW for me is in it’s
ability to display video synced to audio/midi, either on the primary screen or
on a separate monitor. Reaper does this quite smoothly and is compatible with
most video formats. Most of what I do is soundtrack work and being able to view
the on-screen video with a “window burn” of SMPTE time-code is essential. Beyond
this the DAW must be quick, easy to use, and have deep editing capabilities
while being very stable. Again Reaper lives up to these criteria with the added
bonus of having a extremely customizable graphic user interface or “theme”.

Next in line is
Cubase 5 from Steinberg/Yamaha (I haven’t upgraded to 6.5 yet) and Logic Pro 8
from Apple. I have a long history with Cubase and began using it on the Atari platform
when it first became available. At that time it was strictly a midi-sequencer
with the added capability of printing simple music scores. It has since grown
to be a most robust program and one by which many others are measured. I truly
like this program, but it has become so feature-laden and complex as to be less
user friendly for me to use as primary software, although it looks like
Steinberg is trying to address those issues in Cubase 7. Aside from that it is
a great program and has all of the video and editing capabilities that Reaper
has. I likewise have a long history with Logic on the Atari platform and
eventually on the Mac. Though different in the early days it is now very
similar to Cubase in usage and capabilities but only available on the Mac
platform. Cubase is available for both the PC and Mac. Logic’s included
plug-ins are very good and have delivered excellent sonic results on projects
I’ve used them on.

Finally for this installment there is Sonar from Cakewalk/Roland. I’m using the newest version, Sonar Producer X2a. Sonar has come a long way from earlier days when it was called Cakewalk Pro Audio and had a more cumbersome interface and less accessible editing capabilities than it now has. The new interface introduced with Sonar X1 is more elegant to me and has a wonderful “Pro Channel” available for every track giving you quick access to EQ, FX, and Dynamics processing. All of the FX and Soft Instruments included with the program are extremely good and very usable. Like with Reaper and Cubase, it has the ability to display video while recording or editing.

Well that’s it for
now. I’ll cover other programs and plug-ins I use in a future post. Also bear
in mind that these are just my opinions and not to be considered particular
endorsements or detailed critiques of the above mentioned products.
