Sonar 4 on PC

I'm running Cool Edit Pro 1.5 on a p3 1.5 Gig PC. I use a Yamaha RM 1608 desk to supply the pre's into a ST Audio C-Port.

soundforge 7.0 for single tracks or an orion desk(for recording several tracks onto a tascam mx 24 24 and onto dat)..and then cubase sl,vegas 5.0 and reason(god i just love reason)..

I use a number of Programs,Reason,Recycle,Samplitude,Logic Platium.It all depends on the circumstances of the Project.As For computer,Pc running windows Profesional.Sound card,Echo Layla 3rd Generation.

Yamaha AW2816

Sonar 4 (PC, necessarily)

I'm guessing that I'm really in the minority.

Acid pro is my main app. I also use reason a lot.

Well I'll join the 1 other user of SAW Studio out there on a PC
Later

PS: 64 bit mix bus guys !!!!!

Sonar 4

I originally was going to go PT on my PC but:

a) I did not want to disable Hyperthreading on my Intel chip, it's a cool feature and Sonar 4 has a setting to maximize this ability in the software.
b) I hate proprietary anything in computers/recording etc., let me decide what's best for my situation.
c) I want software designed for my OS, not ported from some other platform.
d) I record almost entirely audio tracks mostly with real drums mic'd... hence I need a lot of mic pres.

I'm going with a Firepod and Sonar 4 (Producer) for my PC.

(Given those reasons... I value where you're coming from, does that make sense to you Kurt?)

i record on aRoland VS840EX and mix the resultant sounds on Cubase SX2, on PC. I'd like to get the Roland console, is it a VS2480 or something? looks fine.

Sonar 4 on a 3.4 P-4 with 2 180 gig sata drives. Motu 24 I/O with 3 focusrite octi pre amps.

Well I am in a pickel as well as many others here.
For reasons of Business practices I CHoose Not To Ever own a Mac product.......( I know and use them and was DAW traineed on a Mac in Recording school) But I would rather use my windows based Laptop.
Its a pentium p4 3.8 8oo meg FSB.2 gig of ram
2 -7200 rpm hard drives
Motu 896 a Mark of the unicorn time price midi interface.
tc electronics effectsLogic controll surfaces and a Mackies analouge mixer .This is how I use the send and returns for the 896......I know it was designed to plug instruments and mics stright into the back.But I think is sound better and warmer to send every thing I/O to the Motu VIA the Mackie mixer.
The soft ware I use is Logic 5.5
Wave lab 4
I have all the native instruments plugins (They have crytal clean sound)
The Pickel is as you know that Logic sold us out to MAC .Cubase SX is nice I just can't get myself to work with it after making my brain be a logic brain now........Go Figuer ,Well I guess I will be a logic user for ever I spend 18 hour s a day there .........Well This is the thing for most of the DJs And producers I know we all like the way Logic sounds ,I persoanly think the sound is clearer full and has more diffinition .....
I belive ................................

Hi! im brand new user here in recording.org
Im from Mexico, if you travel to mexico my
home is your home anytime (in Puebla, 1 hour from
Mexico City) I own a music studio, i use PT 6.4 in MAC OSX,
(10.3.7) G4 1.25 (Digi002, Octopre) and im thinking
seriously in Digital Performer 4.5, PT could be a pain
in the ass if you dont got all that money to get an HD system.
Some body would gimme an opinion about PT 6.4 vs DP4.5 ??
Thanks, have a nice day and recording, and yeah, you rigth, my english SUCKS!!!! lol

ciao!

Hi Fernando and welcome to RO!

DP 4.5 is a great program- I've been using Dp for 12 years and I love it-

Si tienes preguntas en espanol mandame un e-mail at

maintiger@aol.com

Thanks Xavier!

i send you an email for spanish stuff

12 years!!! damm!! in Mexico there is an strong
bunch of music recorders, engineres, studio owners, etc
that are leaving Protools, turning to Digital Performer,
is too much money for us all that aditional hardwere, hd, etc
Digital Performer are punching down Protools in Mexico.

Logic is an other interesting option, rigth? all that brand new
image with apple issue, and everything... :shock:

I run an Athlon 2600 with ProTools LE. This machine also runs Wavelab from time to time.
I am purchasing (this week) a new G5 for ProTools LE, and MAY purchase logic as well. I am switching from Windows to the Mac for ProTools. I've commited, I just need to get the Damn G5 to my house.
I'm a big fan of the Mac. Have been since the NED PostPro days. I tech a 20+ Windows box system of audio delivery for a big radio station group here in Seattle. It's nice, but the headaches with drivers, cards, updates, Novell, viri, etc. have driven me to be a Mac user while at home. We also run 5 dual 1gig G4's with ProTools TDM (not HD) here at the radio plant. I spend no time on those machines, and all my time on the windows boxes. We used to run the ProTools TDM on PC's under windows NT (!). It NEVER ever worked correctly. I switched us over to the mac's after 4 years of PACE hell, driver hell, drive formatting hell, and BSOD's every monday morning.
I like my mac's. I use the windows box at home, and it behaves just fine. It will keep running Wavelab, and some ancillary pgms.
Kelly.

Hi Kelly, Mac rules!!! (rulles?? how do u spell that? lol)
Its classy, its a charming life style, i love macs too.

You should buy a Digi002 for your G5, sounds great!

Affter looking these berklee´s programs about this school
on-line where there is a hole degree to studing protools, i
think there is not debaut, protools rocks!!

Hola Fernando, y beinvenidos a recording.org!

I'm pleased to hear about what's happening in Mexico in relation to ProTools and Digital performer. I can't stand monopolies.

Anyway, welcome, and I hope to see more of you around here. :)

Hey! :)

I think the poll should be re-defined with more options based on the answers given so far.
To divide the "Other"-section up, so to say.

Hi,
i'm using both Logic Pro 6.4.3 and Nuendo 3 on Mac OS X.

I filled out the poll at the head of this post and was surprised to see hsow many Nuendo users there were compared to PC users. Could we see Yamaha do to Mac users what Apple did to PC users?

You can download a DEMO here: http://mediasoftware.sonypictures.com/download/step1.asp?CatID=1

If you like the program you can buy it.

WE use AudioFiles and Protools

Hi all! I use Sonar 4 on a P4 3.0

PTLE 6.7 002R, but I also use DP 4.5 (on a Mac, obviously)

I also rewire Reason 2.5 to both.

I've just moved over from Sonar Producer 3 to Samplitude 7. Well maybe I should say I've added Samplitude to my setup. I'm very pleased with it, and I love the sound quality. The effects are great, and processing seems to be that little bit more transparent. It's a pity these aren't plug-ins as I'd like to use them in Sonar to see how things sound.

I still intend to upgrade from Sonar 3 to the newer version, as the workflow enhancements seem pretty impressive. The Sonar interface, in my opinion, really encourages experimentation, and it's not a program I could completely abandon.

Now all I need is Melodyne and my life will be complete :wink:

PT LE 002 R with AI-3 on a Mac G5 Dual 1.8. I was considering going to HD 1 but discovered 002R with G5 was much more capable than a basic HD-1 system because the raw processing power in the G5 surpasses the processors in the HD1 card. i.e I can run 5 waves IR 1 reverbs in a 48@24bit session and two in a 96Khz session all at 32 tracks while HD 1 needs an accel card to get to the same performance levels, especially at 96 khz. So instead of spending 16-20K I spent 1400 on a motu 24 I/O for remote recording work and then finish it in Protools.
