I used Nuendo/Cubase always and they served me very well, excellent DAWs. Reaper is great too, new version is more streamlined. Under the hood it's still rough on the edges, but at least now it's more pleasant to work with it.

We use Sadie but that is probably a non starter for you financially.
Reaper doesn't need a USB key and is fine for most recording/mixing. It has its issues but so does PT, and PT (HD or otherwise) is not a perfect recording/mixing DAW anyway despite what some might say. To a great extent the ability to produce is a pro quality mix ready for mastering is not dependent on the DAW but on the ability of the engineer and producer and to some extent on the studio. There is a difference between ITB and OTB mixes and I'd be lying to say otherwise: OTB are better. That though is nothing to do with whether the DAW is PT. -------------------- Get your music professionally mastered by anl AES registered Mastering Engineer.

Thats what I am worried about Todd. The whole install looks like 50GB or so. Damn, I don't have that much space. What does all those contents have? Do we really need it?

maharzan,
Do yourself a favour and try Presonus Studio One's 30 day demo. Seriously! Among other things, the main program is only about 83mb. There are a lot of gigs of additional content but little of it is necessary. -------------------- |

QUOTE (maharzan @ Oct 26 2011, 02:50 AM)  Thats what I am worried about Todd. The whole install looks like 50GB or so. Damn, I don't have that much space. What does all those contents have? Do we really need it? Probably not. I'm guessing but most of that is probably stuff like drum loops, audio samples, etc for samplers plus various VSTs and VSTIs. All of those should really be optional and you should be able to omit most/all if you do a custom install. The actual stripped down DAW is likely to be about 100mb. Nonetheless if you don't install all of the extras then to some extent you've paid for stuff that you won't use and don't need. If that's the case then consider a different DAW. -------------------- Get your music professionally mastered by anl AES registered Mastering Engineer.

Yep, those 50GBs are probably bundled software from the same (or cooperating) company. I'm guessing that you will have the option to choose what to install during installation.
Similar to this, Cubase and Nuendo new versions are being installed with Hallion One, which is a good solution for those who need all-in-one package and ready to make some music. But, you get an option to leave them out, so you can install your favorite plugs. -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE

hey dude, i recommend logic as well, rock solid running on my iMac, it handles heavy processing really good. It has it's flaws but every single day i tried does, so i would go with that one, specially because you do have a mac, i started to use macs just to get logic.
I will check out PT 10 tho, i'm always between pro tools and logic. --------------------  Check my Instructor Profile Rockers! Got a Blog too!, www.adriantracks.com Follow me on facebook and youtube! -Youtube   |

Cheers mate, let us know how it went
BTW, I gotta say that video tutorials helped me a lot when starting with new software. If you can find Logic video tutorials (specially some good ones), it can prove very useful. -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE
