lol stop shaking ur leg !

[TheReptoid]

ultimately it will end up as an mp3 or mp4

Music starts as analog and finishes as analog because a digital code wont drive your speakers or headphones! The bit in the middle (mastering>CD) is the digital bit. CD players, Ipods, Ipones, PCs, Macs etc. all have built in D.A.C.s (digital to anlalog coverter) to covert the digital code back to analog sound waves, BECAUSE YOU CANT HEAR DIGITAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!

I don't understand why everyone is saying ProTools is hard to learn.

It's incredibly simple. I've been using it since I was 13.

[1971SuperLead]

@Robot0Ninja You weren't rude. I was a lot smarter at 16 too. Learn it all while your brain is still nimble. You get to be my age and it's hard to learn anything new.

[Robot0Ninja]

@1971SuperLead well maybe it isnt that simple. i can understand how to work it and im turning 16 in a month, the human mind works differently in everybody. sorry if i was rude earlier.

[1971SuperLead]

@Robot0Ninja Are you kidding? Lots of people can't figure out how to use Pro Tools. I was an aerospace technician rebuilding flight control actuators for commercial and military jets for 21 years. I have an IQ of around 130. Not super smart but I should be able to understand a simple recording software program.

Also, my computor is a newer Windows 7 64 bit desktop. I'm no computor wiz but it has an AMD Athlon IIX2 250u dual-core processor, 750 GB HDD and 4GB DDR2 memory. Isn't that enough?

[Robot0Ninja]

@1971SuperLead u seem to be the only one that thinks so. and it probably will crash ur computer if ur running off a poor system. for pro tools, u should probably have a 2.4 ghz processor, 3 or 4 gigs of ram and 2 megs of l1 or l2 cache

[1971SuperLead]

@Robot0Ninja It doesn't have everything I need. It doesn't have an easy operating system. It isn't crash resistant. It doesn't have accurate instructions. It doesn't come with an instructional DVD. It doesn't work well with Windows 7 (even though the box said it did). It simply is not a good tool for musicians. Maybe for computer geeks and engineers but, a nightmare for a musician, especially if he is trying to get his ideas recorded. Just wait until it crashes your computer.

@jf99151 well here is where your wrong, to the human ear, analog sounds better. analog records the difference in air pressure directly to a tape or record while digital has to record then convert it to digital format. that process breaks up the sound waves making any variation very choppy, while analog is continuous in time making varies smooth in no matter how short of time. analog also has a wider dynamic range wider frequency range, obviously analog is superior.

[Robot0Ninja]

@1971SuperLead pro tools is the industry standard for a reason, it has everything u need.so obviously its gonna be complex.

[1971SuperLead]

I bought the cheapest Pro Tools recording studio for PC to replace my old Tascam 688 tape machine and almost cried due to the complexity of Pro Tool. It took me 8 hours to lay down a single vocal track. Fuk dat! I'm going back to analog.

You'd think they would make new stuff easier to use than the old stuff. I just don't understand this world anymore.
