[quote=feedingear;299652]Do you still work on Protools? I'd rather $*$*$ my $*$*# then work on PT tbh - cant fucking stand it.

Chris I recommend setting up audio out for the TI out of Out 1 into any of your MOTU inputs - as well as using USB outputs - you can assign it in VC at any time to any part.. This allows you to do free recording if you prefer to just sample audio straight from the synth instead of say recording midi, bouncing it down to audio etc etc.

Hi feedingear,

Thanks for the tips - I'll give that a try - I guess it's just about getting use to how it all works nowadays - just reminising about the days of Music X on the Amiga and how easy it all was - happy days!!!

Really? Your probably not using it right mate, Lol.

[feedingear]

Possibly. Interestingly across our course of around 70 people, composers working with Ableton, Logic and Cubase and even MAXMSP all seem to agree with Protools feeling counter intuitive for writing and producing music - but each to their own of course.

@Chris its cruisy once you get it all going - enjoy

Well I've tried them all & still keep coming back to PT. The only other DAW I run is Live. Cubase is so clumsy & logic...totally illogical to me. It's what works for you I guess. The bottom line is, its not about the platform or the DAW, it's about whats in your head & how well you can translate it into sound & any old DAW & computer will do if you have the skills & the talent...

Totally agree. I am strictly a PC user (never used a Mac!!) and at the moment have only used Sonar 7 HS indepth with the occasional demo of some other ones. But it was "Music X" on the Amiga which I felt most comfortable with - I never worried about or got hung-up on the process and just got on and wrote music - those were the days!!

I actually found myself going old school with the Virus TI and bypassed Virus Control and just used it via MIDI and it worked so well. Whether it's just because I'm still learning - but it's just that it seems a lot to learn and configure nowadays!!
