Thread: hey guys..i am new here...pro tools hd2

Having never played with Pro Tools myself, I'm not going to handle this one, but let it pass on to other wiser and more experienced. Then why did I even answer? Damit!

Like basilbowman I've never used ProTools, but the general opinion here is that ProTools is expensive and horrible to use. It's only used because of corporate domination, really.
If you're set on it, fair enough.

However, 192KHz is a joke IMO. For most needs you're better to stick with 96KHz and cut your processing and disk space needed in half, yet still retaining at least 99% of noticable quality.

hmmmm...i see...thats why i am confused!
i dont know what interface..or interfaces will go for my setup

hey!!!
79 views and no suggestions?
please help!

I just saw a post, I forget where, with REMY saying something along the lines of "If you need to learn Pro Tools, you can do it in about a week, thusly the only reason to learn it now is because there are a huge amount of books, tutorials, DVDS, etc. for PT." Paraphrased to be sure, but if it comes from REMY it must be useful, eh?

Whoa there Nathan - that came from me, and while it's still my opinion, I know a lot less about recording than Remy, so it should be taken with a grain of salt. Also, my comment was directed at someone starting a home studio who didn't (yet) need to meet the expectations of paying clients. Capellino's question seems to me more of a marketing question for a pro studio. He's looking at PT in order to satisfy clients. I certainly have no idea what clients expect in Greece, so I don't feel I can give him any advice. I guess my opinion can be summarized as "I want to use PT because the pros use it" is a bad reason; "I want to use PT because my clients want it" is a good reason - but to use that reason, you have to have clients, and they have to want PT.

Ah, my bad, many apologies - Guess I shouldn't be so hasty to jump in on topics I don't know what the hell I'm talking about and start misquoting others, eh? Doh!

"Better to keep your mouth shut and be presumed a fool, than to open it and remove all doubt."

Oh nuts.

(If you didn't get it, don't worry, it didn't work too well. The idea was that I said that and now I'm a fool)
