![]() ![]() Look, it's fairly simple: It was there first. There are not a lot of other ways of running high channel count analog workflows than Pro Tools. I'm not saying that Pro Tools is perfect, but for a lot of things it is still one of the best solutions. You would be way better served by Ableton or Logic for production work. If you are trying to create music, it is one of the worst tools. ![]() The other mistake that people make all the time is trying to make Pro Tools do something that it's not designed to do. Large records could have 100 people and 5+ physical studios touch the project before it goes to mastering. Gone are the days where an artist locks out a studio for a month or two and does an entire album. Its way more common for anything electronic to be made in whatever DAW the artist/production team uses for production, then those are rendered into tracks that are dropped into Pro Tools for recording live stuff and mixing. Its way easier to just plug in your external drive and load the session. Plus automation won't come over unless you bake it in, so I hope you never need to change it from that point on. ![]() Yes you can strip silence, but now you are like 3 major operations deep and probably 30 minutes later, and you are just now ready to go. "Just insert silence at the beginning of everything." Ok, but plugins will process that silence and with large sessions that eats a ton of compute power. Bouncing out stems is hard because everything needs to line up. To people potentially complaining about compatibility, guess what? Bounce out stems, it's not that hard.Ĭlearly you have not had to deal with a 100+ track, highly edited pop session. That means less time fucking around in software and more time recording or mixing. Once you figure out how Pro Tools wants to work, it is very fast and efficient. Are there alternatives out there? Yeah, but honestly for large analog workflows, Pro Tools is probably the best tool for the job. The big studios are not going to be left in the dust because they use Pro Tools, they use ProTools because it allows them to be competitive with the rest of the industry. Something becomes an industry standard, not because someone says it is, but because a large percentage of the industry's major players adopt it. I feel like you are shaky on the concept of "industry standard". What matters is if the software works for you, and big studios need to start realizing this, or they will be left in the dust. Don’t even get me started on the subscription pricing that is frankly predatory and horrible, why do I need to pay month to month to use a fucking music software application? Why, just why? I hate PT! Come on everybody, even in the back, say it with me, I hate PT! I! Hate! PT!!!!!! ❤️ Why Avid, just, just why? I feel like crying, ProTools just makes me so sad on a daily basis. To people potentially complaining about compatibility, guess what? Bounce out stems, it's not that hard. I quite frankly do not give a fuck what the industry standard is, that is irrelevant. Why do I need to spend thousands and thousands of dollars on plug-ins, all the while completely ignoring the free resources that hard-working developers have made available to people using VST? And that's another thing, why the hell does ProTools not support VST like literally every other software except Logic because special snowflake hehehe. The actual workflow when it comes to plug-ins is disgusting, and frankly offensive. ![]() Am I the only one who absolutely cannot stand the horrendous failure that is ProTools? I absolutely hate this software, and anytime I use it I want to pull out my hair I swear to God. ![]()
