Hey Guys,

I used to work with Emagic Logic until a few years ago, now my Mac is too
old and i just bought a more or less high end PC. Now my question.
I am not really a cubase fan, so i am looking for some DAW close to
logic. I checked Samplitude, which i kind of like, but i think the
price is a bit high.

So any good suggestions for a decent alternative to logic??

I am into dance and trance production.

I stopped producing about 6 years ago due to private matters, but now
i wanna get back into thinkls.. what about VST3?? Which DAW besides
Sonar X3 supports it?

Thanks for your response.

 

Man, demo them all. Do as much demos as possible. Reaper, Live, Studio One, FL. Try them all out.

 

studio one all day i have tried all of them and cant shake studio one seems to be the fastest setting up midi controls drag and drop and the list goes on...............and on.... projects tab song tab think you can switch between 10 different songs at one time its crazy and the learning curve is very easy

 

Thanx guys..for the quick response..i actually wanted to try Studio One 2.6
but after a while 5-10 min i am getting a bluescreen and the PC resets..
So i am really not sure where the bug is.

Using Win7 64bit 16GB RAM

 

Studio One, or Reaper are a good choice! But if you got a good PC, install Mac OSX and continue using Logic.

 

Studio One: innovative features but incredibly unstable (for some) as you're finding out now...

 

The only issue I have with S1 at the moment is that some of the vst's cause it to crash, especially with the latest version, the previous version wasn't as bad. The Blue screen could be a graphic card issue, I think there was a post in another topic which linked back to S1 Forum discussing how to optimize your pc to improve S1 performance, graphic issues was definitely one of the problem areas I believe, try reducing your graphics card resolution, colour depth, etc.

you could dual boot your pc and have OSX running as well, easier with an intel pc but I think AMD machines can now install OSX but is a bit more tricky in getting it to run

 

I do have an Intel PC... Didn't know I could Install OSX...OHHHH man...
that be awesome...gotta check on that one :-D

 

yes thats what i thought too..very unstable..

 

Studio One user for a years right now, never had any problem or bug. start from 2.5 to 2.6 and waiting for 2.6.1.
1)learning curve so easy
2)drag & drop everything
3)store & reload chains,vst,preset
4)easy to set up bus,fx,routing with 0 latency (tried with photosounder splineq)
5)cpu friendly (the track i'm working now has 50 tracks with 3 to 10 plugins each channel)
5)fast editing on audio and midi
6)record midi from my cheap m-audio 49 (i'm not a pianist) & quantize it right
7)Trasform instruments back & forth midi and audio (for save cpu)
8)melodyne ara version (sonar x3 developers like it) :D

tried FL 10&11, ableton 8&9, Cubase 5.5, Pro Tools 10

I mean you can do good music with every daw but for me S1 fit well my style of work. So you had to try the demo versions and find wich daw is right for you. Just my opinion

Win7 x64 i3 550 3.20 ghz 4 gb ram, S1 2.6 x86

 

Ableton...........nuff said.

 

Unstable??? I used Hackintosh for almost 4 years until I bought a second hand 2 x 2.26 Quad Mac Pro. I can say it is much much stable than any ugly Windows. No virus issues to deal with etc. I don't know why you had troubles my friend.

Cheers *yes*

 

studio one for pure ease

 

because all you jerkoffs are going to make better music when you all have vst3, fucking master vst2 first...

 

ahahahaha you fell for it why xsze WHHHHYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!???

 

No u got me wrong..I wasn't talking about Hackintosch being unstable
but Studio One crashing every 5-10 minutes... Bluescreen with fatal Error messages :-(

I looked up the Hackintosh stuff..but too much effort..

 

that is the trick!!!

 

that's how it's meant to be done...that is the art of 'shit talking'

you basically talk and say shit to the people you love in a loving way...maybe it's just a western thing not sure but...

fuck you xsze you're a fucking prick!!!

I like doing it alot on the net because alot of people don't get it and feel offended by it...providing a means to laugh *yes*

 

@ HKPotential - Has Cat given you another ul coupon? you know what happened last time

 

nope I'm off the coupons and have been clean for quite a while now...thinking of slowly going legit bruh!!!

fucking eat it!!! eat that harsh commentary!!!
