Yeah, I think there is already something for everyone.
I used to use Logic – which is very easy to use in an intuitive, default manner, which is what you are requesting.
Now I’m using Ableton Live, which is nothing if not COMPLETELY different to Logic.
I’ve regularly used Pro Tools, Logic and Live, and can’t say I agree that all three offer the same user experience.
What we don’t need is another DAW (in my humble opinion).
There seriously isn’t enough varied choice out there for you – with Harrison Mixbus, Pro Tools, Reaper, Ableton Live, Logic and Reason all being wildly different?
It’s been mentioned several times over the years that Toon will free up authorisations if you have problems with your computer, or buy a new computer.
The key is to let them know in good time, and not end up stressed with deadlines.
Regarding my Macs, they’ve just been a constant, no need to fiddle with the OS, or the hard drive. So I haven’t burned authorisations.
I don’t know exactly what ‘post rock’ is, but I have a feeling C&V hits that mark.
It isn’t a ‘vintage’ library as such, but an ‘alternative’ library – alternative to the mainstream rock sample packs.
I don’t play drums every week anyway, so it isn’t an issue for me. I’m just saying it’s mentally taxing and quite exhausting being behind the kit for these things.
On a personal note, we’ve ended up recording my SDX/EZX’s at lower budget studios, simply because they happened to be the places with the rare, vintage desks, and a drum room. These studios have more technical issues, sometimes because of the lower budget rates, but often because of the rare vintage gear.
So you sometimes get the dreaded – “that snare we just spent an hour sampling, we’ve just discovered a slight hum on one channel, we need to do it all again”.
Working at Blackbird or Allaire, and Hit factory has to be a little more fun.
Juicy is right.
The major issue is great sounding studios struggling for income in the new economy, realising that their rooms are their best asset, and most of them not allowing sampling of the room.
I happen to know at least one major studio that isn’t happy to even allow drum sampling any more.
We’ve discussed this numerous times.
I took my camera to The Classic sessions and didn’t snap a single picture.
I shot video, but I had to squeeze it in when someone was moving mics, or we were taking a tea break, which unfortunately meant I barely got a break over several days.
