How do you engineer?

[SketchUp]

just wonderin what everyone uses to mix down there beats and engineer them(if you do)?

 

[classic]

Cubase for my muti tracking,mixing,mastering. but i will be switchin over to protools soon since its m-powerd now.

Class....

 

[Cleverwon]

Sonar 4 Producer Edition, and my ears.

 

[Jig Dagod]

Used to be Cubase, but since the recent release of M-Powered, I crossed over to the industry standards.

 

[eXampuL_oNe]

Logic 5 (recording, mixing, multi-tracking), Wavelab (with lots of plug-ins) and Cooledit for mastering..

 

[PhleX]

what is m-powered (maudio) is that a type of midi interface or sumthing?

 

[classic]

its the vesrion of protools that works with m-audio souncard/interfaces. I have an m-audio firwire 410. Before PT only worked with digi products which are crappy on the low end. THis was a god send for most folks casue m-audio stuff is was better then digi

*waits for mpowered*

I used to use Cubase - didnt like it..altho i know it well..didnt feel the love.

So i export from FL - and mix in CEP

I got ableton now as well - seemingly ill be mixing my composed beats and creating them within that app alone.

M powered - may be just used for when i do vocals.

chea

i have cool edit but the problem is i dont really know know how to use it for mastering, also i dont have the right connections at the moment to record from my mp to my pc.

how would i connect the mpc to the pc and then what is the process to master each track?

thanks.

lol...why dont u just use cool edit.

It does what Wavelab does....and it does what you do with logic.

That seems mad redundant.

 

[TITO]

i track everything from the mpc and triton into protools, then i throw a mix on it, i do the pre mastering in protools as well, then i bounce the track over to wavelab for the final mastering.

 

[Scholar]

man i have all types only one i dont have is protools. i do everything in sonar3.1.1 PE and reason 2.5.

i use the same setup.. do you have a easy way of tracking out your beats from reason into sonar? i wrote a lil "tutorial" on it b4 on here:

WHAT THE FUCK!? REDUNDANT? Look here "bigshot." I dont' just use cool edit because, after Logic's multi tracking (which is wayyy better than cool edit) I take my file into wavlab do what I do with it (don't clip it) and then I take it to cool edit and give it a light clip because the wav file changes as you amplify it... That's just what i do, homie! Everyone does shit different....
