I am interested in getting a macbook pro and I was originally looking to run pro tools 7 le as my primary software but then found out that it is not compatable at the moment. I recently have heard that logic pro runs very well on the new macbooks.

hello all, I'm intrigued by Reason. I'm not sure if it's some thing I can use. I do mostly Singer/songwriter pop, rock, folk kind of music. I get the impression that reason is used mostly for elctronic Hip hop type stuff.

What is the cleanest software compressor plugin ? There was a positive review of the PSP Mastercomp in a recent TapeOp which appears to be clean enough for mastering.

Are there any software compressors that are transparent?

002R clocking to M-Audio Octane via ADAT.

The Octane's dB meters shows the signal to be around
-20 to -10 dB but the Pro Tools input meter shows it clipping badly.

And, listening to it, it is clipping badly.

I have to keep the signal at -20dB or below on the Octane's front panel to avoid clipping within Pro Tools.

well i have been using a Cubase setup for the past year but now i want to get a job as an engineer- so i guess it would be useful to learn the program they all seem to use- pro tools!

obviously, being 17 i cant afford the full blown pro tools HD or whatever it is (the prices scare me much!).

I was looking at getting some audio restoration plugin (ie:Waves Restoration Bundle) recommendations. I realise that there are many but for those of you that have used the Waves stuff how do you like them and would you recommend them over whats out there? Opinionsand suggestions on the Waves or other is greatly appreciated as I will be purchasing a bundle in the next few days.

I am recording a rock band. What is a plugin package I should look into. I'm on a budget, would like to keep it Around $200 if possible.

i have Sonar 4 producer addition installed and worked fine until today.
i have my work saved in a file it does not contain any audio tracks i.e only midi tracks on which i recorded with one vst plugin , file was saved by me, due to an improper shutdown (power failure) when i try to open the file an error message is shown.

seems i have a few "limited versions" of production software that came with equipment and was wondering what people here prefer to use as their base.

i have:

Ableton Live 4.1.2
Cakewalk Sonar LE
Cubase LE

If you recorded all your tracks for your new song(s) in your own studio. And then wanted to mix them down at a real nice studio. With a high dollar console. Which way is the best way to approach the owner so that you will get the best deal.
