Your comment at 2:06 was just doesn't make sence. What "chips" are you talking about. They use different "chips". Different "chips" do different things. You should research your stuff more and describe who made these "chips" and their actually quality. I do agree with alot of what you say, but there are some serious deficiencies in your video.

@jawsrock1 I am sorry you do not understand what I mean by chips and to be honest I do not expect everyone to know what I am taking about. Only for those who know enough. You have no idea how many message I have gotten off this video thanking me. So many do get it. Besides what you thought I was taking about potato chips

Right now I have an M-audio fast track with Pro tools SE sitting in the box. I also have a Boss-me25 guitar pedal (acts as USB interface) and that came with Sonar 8.5 LE, im just wondering what route to go down, Sonar or pro tools, im not sure which would be better or more for me I should say

[maltcus]

@timcrow420 I am bias because I am a sonar user but, this is what I think. watch a lot of videos. read packaging and play around with both. The 2 versions you have are not full versions and is not the best way to compare the both. With that said I still think you mess with both and use your common sense to choose. Do not listen to what other say cause they are going to tell you to use what they use.

i like your video man actually your video made decide to go with sonar. by the way do you have any tutorials i am wondering how i could mix and what kind of effects to use for backround vocals??

[maltcus]

@mmmusicc777 Yes I have a lot of videos. There are kinda old. I am using sonar 7 but, the techniques are the same. Checkout my channel.

@Autumn6 If we are comparing Pro Tools HD with HD cards. Okay I may see your point. Even though cakewalk do not crash on me. I have had some pretty big projects loaded. The only reason why I had problems because of my computer power not the program. As far as Pro Tools being a industry standard is fading. I do not care what a big major studio is using. They have the hardware to back it up. If you love Pro Tools good for you. Do not think having Pro Tools make your setup better then my Sonar

[mmmusicc777]

yo I hear you I have sonar x1 producer and it never crash on me the bigges project ive done in sonar was 35 tracks audio and midi that is a lot with a lot to be running in a home computer

@jawsrock1 If you have the budget, then go for it. If money is an issue, I predict that you will start seeing HD-Accel rigs on Ebay for pennies on the dollar. I mean, a couple years ago I saw a complete Mix Plus rig with interface and G4 going for $400. the guy must have spent towards 20k. Plus the TDM Waves stuff will go the same since the TDM architecture is about to become obsolete. I dont care that it does cause it works as it is in a big big way. Either way good luck my friend. Have fun!

[jawsrock1]

@TheProgmagog That is an insightful reply, however, he only mentions the software (which is what Sonar is and Protools is typically what home studios like what he has, uses). Neither have "chips". You are very correct that the PT HD uses their own proprietary accelerator card...and yes, it does rock. I personally plan on upgrading to the Lynx Aurora setup myself using and HDX card and PT. I will probably still use Sonar for somethings...depending on how I feel about PT.

[TheProgmagog]

@jawsrock1 He is talking about the DSP chips on the Pro Tools HD cards. They do all the processing work and handle almost all the routing functions, and that is why it is so powerful and stable. Almost like having a bunch of actual Digital Signal Processors (litterally) inside the computer. It really rocks by the way.

[jawsrock1]

@maltcus Thanks for the reply back. Actually, I DO know what you mean by "chips". I know you are referring to integrated circuits. I am an electronics technician and a studio engineer, so when I was referring to different chips do different things, I was talking about different manufacturers make their interfaces and such using different integrated circuits that are designed differently...kinda like hamburgers (it's almost dinner time). They are all called the same but taste alot different.

[MrNocaster1]

Thanks man. Your video was very informative. I have Sonar X1 Producer but I'm a newbie and just learning. With what I want to do Sonar X1 Producer is way more than enough. By the way, how long did it take you to learn Producer?

[themrbrown510]

@maltcus yup true.i have an amd sixcore @ 3.7ghz,16gb of ram,two 1tb hdd running windows 7 and sonar x1 loading 100 track projects plus plug-ins barely use 10% of my cpu,with protools its not even 64bit max ram you ken use is 4gb

[Sgipon]

YUP!!!!!! cUZ U ARE SO RIGHT FO real..I use both pro le ans Sonar and i always find myself back on the pc with sonar..Its a beast...

[cbmuzik]

I agree with this video. I have always chosen Sonar over ProTools for computer usage. I had this discussion with a guy years ago and he laughed when I told him I was using Sonar. BUT...after hearing the finished product, he kept telling me I HAD to have been using ProTools. What a goon...I even emailed him my .cwp files to prove it. lol...he shut up after that. Sonar for me, been using it since 2001.
