Logic pro tools price6/13/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() You may have heard “record in Pro Tools, Produce in Logic” if you have been around modern music production. Pro Tools is designed with console recording in mind, which may be a huge reason as to why it is a mainstay in most studios. When recording in Pro Tools, you have complete control over when, where and how you record using punch-ins, pre-roll, post roll, count-off and even half speed playback. The edit counter allows for us to see the exact start time, end time and length of any selection we make or we can use it to create specific selections on a track. This is incredible handy when replacing samples or creating comp tracks. The modes for the grid that dictate how your tools will respond make it really easy to make ridged grid-based moves or pin point extremely specific locations between the lines. The grid view in Pro Tools shows musical subdivision just like the other three DAWs in question but instead of zooming in to see smaller sub divisions, Pro Tools allows you to set gridlines (based on bars and beats, minute second time or samples) that are always visible. The trick to this is the grid and counter options inside of Pro Tools. When it comes to recording and editing, the simplicity of the tools and counters can’t be beat! Once you get passed the seemingly overwhelming options for chopping, moving, dipping and dropping your audio, you’ll find that it is very easy to make precision edits inside the DAW. Though I have gone on to work in the other DAWs of the world, there are certain features in Pro Tools that keep me coming back. This was the first major DAW I ever worked with so it is no surprise that I am the most familiar with it. Here is my breakdown of the big 3 DAWs and how I use each of them in my workflow. However, just as every producer may have their area of expertise, each of the big three DAWs in my opinion are best for certain task. Each of these DAWs serve the same purpose at their core- they are for recording, editing, and mixing music. ![]() It is hard to say which DAW is best when hit records get made in all three. The truth is that every producer, artist, and engineer has their own personal preference based on how they work. If you have been keeping tabs in the music production world, then you are probably heard or participated in the “which is the better DAW” debate between Pro Tools, Logic and Ableton. Inevitably, with choice comes some very strong opinions. In the modern age of music production, we, as creative professionals, have an arsenal of music production tools to choose from. ![]()
