Statistic: Which programs do you use to make your music

I can't just name one man because I use them all about the same amount for different things.I use FL 6,Acid Pro 6 as of now and Ableton Live 6.

B E-Z and Keep rockin,Dj Bizzerk

Ya great idea man.You got my respect for it.Hopefully we will see alot of artist posting in it.

I don't think Pitbull was meaning each program can only be mentioned by one person?

Anyway, I guess Cubase is the core of things I do these days...

FRuity loops and adobe for me...

I use FL Studio to compose my beatz with a Axiom 25 controller.
Stop thru and check me out sumTyme!!!

Ive posted one allready, whats the limit to post music?

Matt is right. I am working on my 5th page of songs. Upload away, let's hear what you got EmergeX!

yeah i didnt mean that the same program cant be named twice...
but you know im german (dont you);)

Sole:which FL and which adobe?
thx

I use FL 5 and Adobe Audition 2.0

Well i use Logic Audio Platinum 5.5 rewired with Reason 3 and lots of vst and i use Fruity Loops 6 as a vst too i can use it with no limitations within logic ,so i use all those 3 as one, Finally i use cubase sx3 for the final twists and mastering.

Great minds think alike Illusivemind

Reason 3.0,
Garage Band (version?),
and my personal sweetheart, Protools 6.2.2, she makes me hard.

Ya pro tools is nice man,But I think Acid pro 6 is just as good.Everyone keep in mind it is not the program that makes the bad ass tune its the one turning the knobs and pressing the buttons.lol

B E-Z and Keep rockin,Dj Bizzerk

I use Fl 5(all the plug-ins-->SUPER CRACK VERSION)lol....MPC 2000xl(speaks for itself).Now I'm stuck wit "Cubase", I wanna try sumthing new.

MPC 2000xl is y program?:0

Of course of course... I agree completely, DJBIZZERK... First comes ability and know-how... Without that you've got nothing no matter what studio you're running.
You know how your friends have their own scents, and their crib smells exactly the same? That's like what I hear in work done with different programs, I hear the similar Acid overtone in all the Acid work I listen to, same with Cubase and Garageband and so on, etc... But with Protools I don't hear a characteristic tone to it, the sounds all seem entirely pure and up to me to customize accordingly.
It's not a big difference tho, not like I could guess what program you used just by hearing a track.

Hi man

I use Ableton Live 5 & Cubase SX with several VST plugins & synth (Korg Legacy pack, LinPlug) & effects, with a little midi keybords, on Macintosh Book Pro PPC.
:-)

Yeah actually Mac's in general are kinda turning into PCs progressively.... Maybe they'll stop, but with the intel processors and whatnot, Macs are becoming more and more similiar to PCs recently... Or so I think, I don't quite keep up with all the specs on this stuff... Only what I need to know to make my tunes.

thx very much guys
i dont know when ill post the statistic, because i think its not enough people who took part in it.

Would be nice if youd spread the word about this forum!

THX

Very Nice Amittai, you're gonna love Melodyne, it can look a little strange at first but it's a very powerful program.

Never used the MOTU Symphonic Instrument, sounds sweet.

Ah ok bro
Ill fix that soon
http://www.maketunes.com/audio/user/1545

Must be typo - I don't think it is... still Reason 3

Well, I "figured it out for myself" and it is out!

http://www.propellerheads.se/products/reason/

I'm gonna have to upgrade soon...!

Jeez I must have heatstroke from outdoor renovation work today lol - i did a quick search and for some reason thought Reason4 hadn't yet been released.... urr durr! ;) I think I better drink some more water

You got it? Sweet.

their aren't that many diffrences between rsn 3 and 4.
just the thor synth module, which is pretty sweet!!!
and some stuff to make it easier to work. like the tool window.

but still, i think it's worth every cent. :)

I USE THE AKAI MPC1000 AND I USE ADOBE AUDITION FOR MIXING AND I USE ALL OF THE FL.STUDIOS TO SAMPLE SOUNDS INTO MY MPC1000 . I ALL SO USE FL.STUDIOS DRUM KITS WAV SAMPLES TO AND ALOT OF OTHER DRUMKITS LIKE MODERN BEATS AND GIVE ME BEATS .COM DRUMZ

I've done some stuff with acid pro with samples - taking longer samples/loops perhaps exported from reason, and chopping them up to suit, or resizing/trimming the played part to suit my needs.

Another Reason head here. Sound Forge and Acid to Record...ya Diggg

Dammit !!! Forgot the 8-track, cassette deck and my 1200's for added pleasure.........lol......The ASR-10 is in the corner collecting dust like an ex-girlfriend........

FL 7, Cakewalk Music Creator. I'll b usin Reason soon.

Cubase 4 is working fine for us :)

Yo sixx, I don't think so... But I heard the same thing somewhere also.

I have the new Reason 4.0 now, but I haven't read all the documentation. I'm still trying to get my fingers wrapped around the crazy insane Thor synth they added.

Wish I could DL that prog cuz they want entirely 2 much....or is it i'm broke and can't afford it rite now? lol

yeah hook dat up.....good lookin fo sho.

yo sixx
i pretty much doubt that you can record using reason, but you can use samples into the nn-xt.
i record them using wavelab or something :)

and i'm pretty sure there are a lot of people that won't buy reason untill it's got that function.
but backdoors are there to be used, and there'll always be at least one backdoor with this kind of stuff.

also i think it's a bit of shame that you can't use vsti's into reason, this would make this much easier.
and the redrum can only store 10 samples so for people that use drum pads and want more samples.
i'd recommend nn-xt wich can hold a lot more samples and adjust this :)

so do like i did Sixx download first, try it out. If you like it and got the cash go and get it :)
H2O quote "Try before You Buy" i really like it :)

Amitai, don't you have to switch with mouse of redrum?

now i think of it, PMC (program change 12-15) do offer the possibility to switch patch previous/next(12/13).
and track switch (14/15).
So it seems possible to work that way :)

and that explains a lot, but still now they only need to add an export to mp3,
audio recording and vsti function to make it complete!
maybe one day ;)

Yup from all I've read Reason 4 still doesn't feature audio recording.

that reason has some raw ass sounds in it , no need for vst's . it has just about all the sounds that a man will need

HAY CRIMINAL CAN YOU HOOK YO BOY UP WITH SOME OF THIM CONVERTED REASON SOUNDS BRO ? AND HOW IN THE HELL DID YOU DO THAT ? I HAVE REASON BUT I DONT NO HOW TO USE IT AND I NEED MORE STUFF SO I CAN HOOK IT UP WITH MY MPC . BUT I ALLWAYS WAS LOOKING FOR A WAY TO USE THIM SOUNDS FROM THAT PROGRAM . SO CAN YOU HOOK ME UP AND HELP ME OUT ?

unpacking rfl files i wont discuss here out of respect for the site, email me for details

emailing you now

Good idea... Still in the making?

My use of tech is quite basic:

Software: Vegas 4.0 for recording, arranging, mixing etc. + Audacity for some special editing

Effects: mainly the waves bundle, some renaissance stuff

Hardware: Roland VS-1680 (a 16 track harddisc recorder, I use it to record live drums or simply as an interface); Presonus Tube Pre (tube pre amp to smoothen vocals and guitars...).

Cheerz from Bavaria too, man - where are you?

I got a new DAW to add to my list here:
Apple Logic Studio

Wait till y'all hear the softsynths Apple makes... gonna be juicy.

Yo pitbull, what are the statistics so far?

hey julian! emailing you now

Cool thanks.

Damn, everybody has FL... Where did y'all even hear about it? 'Cause I don't know anyone outside of maketunes that uses it.

I use Reason 4, Live 6, Gearbox 3.50(toneport ux2), and Guitar Rig 2.

Yeah, it's been around for a long time. My DAW class didn't mention it, and we went over steinberg, cakewalk, motu, digidesign, emagic, propellorhead... But I hear the FL songs up here on the forum and they pretty much sound amazing. It would appear that you can do all of the essential tasks of a DAW with nice quality using FL, but I don't think it gets any acknowledgment. I don't think it's the best, not now at least. But it's up there somewhere close by.

I actually decided to buy it months ago, but if I'm not mistaken it's Windows only.

"The best software, is the one you know how to use."
________________
-just a thought-

Well we do learn about plenty of programs that only work on one operating system... Like Emagic (originally manufactured Logic), MOTU, and Apple only work on a Mac; and I think Cakewalk and Sony only work on Windows.

I think it's a combination of a silly name: Fruity Loops (I mean... LOL), and also I think pros overlook it because it only costs $100. A high price makes a program look more professional (as much as I hate to say it)...

The best software is in fact the one you personally know how to use. I agree. Still, if you make a poor choice to start off, you'll never know what you're missing unless you take a step out onto the ledge and try something new. Best thing is to try out a demo of every single one before making a choice. I've done work with Acid, Garageband, Logic, Protools, Audition, Nuendo, Reason, Cubase, Fruity Loops, and some analog 4-track and digital hardware DAWs. I think that knowing how to use all of them makes your personal preference a well educated decision.

Also, the industry for DAWs is a very competitive one. The industry standard won't always be the industry standard. Crappy DAWs get better, and the best DAWs can grow outdated and weak. Logic's been movin up the chain for example, and Protools has been moving down the chain because people are getting the same or better quality for a much better price. A producer should always be aware of the different DAWs and stay current with the changes therein, just like a pro football team keeps up with other teams' games.

True.

A newbee looking for instananeous creation probably won't need to buy anything, most computers come with free software to do that now anyways. If not, free software can be found... I had free Acid, Fruity Loops, and Wavelab before I ever decided to do home production... This was back in 2002-2003 on my Dell. I remember the Fruity Loops drum machine that worked similarly to Reason's Redrum with the bank and patch pattern selector and so on... Fruity Loops was the first software I programed a beat into, and when I got Reason I immediately recognized that and that's partly why I always program my own drums into Redrum to this day. And Acid was the first software I recorded into (on my own computer). This is all before I decided to buy a DAW, before I knew what a DAW was...

Here's some links for shits and giggles... Songs I did with my Dell running Acid:

Lol, thats my first three productions... In that order. It's also the first three times I ever tried to rap...

Haha, thank you. In a way I've lost some of the initial writing skills I had then... You know, the type of shit you write when you think you have no idea what you're doing, what to say, and even the genre was unfamiliar then. But now I'm much more experienced and it's hard to keep from putting too much thought and calculation into my writing... I've gotten smug with it and that's good in some ways and bad in others.

I can't write much when I'm at the desk trying to write. But when I'm driving through traffic in a storm you might find me with a knee on the wheel and a notebook in my lap, just writing away before I loose the inspiration and forget what I thunk... LOL, the disastrous muse.
