Statistic: Which programs do you use to make your music 2

Mostly I use Pro tools 7.3 with the digi 03. I use every plug in I can afford. I hate to admit it but some time I love garage band.

Pitbull I got some additional programs homie, to add.

RECYCLE ...by far one of the most versital programs out there.
Wave Lab......for minor mastering ( I still leave this to the professionals)

Audacity......very cool (and free) way to record vocals and harware synths

Thankx dude!

Yaaaah.

Ableton Live 5.0.2 (Old school AS)
Reason 3 (Rewire)
BFD (Rewire) - Absolutely INSANE drum program
Soundforge (Minor sample editing)
And a shit-load of plug-ins.

Reason 3, Acid 6

"...my way is the HARD way..."

ok, thx guys!

LOL... Usually I make beats in Pro Tools using Reason and MOTU SI as plug-ins. Sometimes I use Melodyne and Analog Factory as plug-ins too, but not as often.

Cubase I used only for tracking drums because I have 8 inputs on my Alesis interface but since Pro Tools only recognizes its own hardware I have to use Cubase to record with more than 2 mics (only 2 ins on the MBox for Protools). Then I import the 8 drum tracks I recorded into Protools and I'm back to normal work.

Logic Pro I literally just bought and plan to start using it in place of Protools. It does all the stuff I do with Pro Tools that I listed above, but it sounds better and has way more options and way less limitations. Since Logic can use both my MBox and Alesis interfaces, I won't have to record drums in Cubase anymore.

GarageBand came with the Mac... I used it exclusively for several of my earlier beats.

The only one I don't really use is Ableton.

ok bro! that wasnt complicated at all!LOL:D
keep doing what youre doing how youre doing it, works out great!Ill start using something for my mastering too! Also I always wanted to start using Reason...

cubase sx3 for tracking and recording,
kontakt 3 for all sorts of sample functions,
maybe spice it up with reason every now and then since it's fun to use,
sometimes do a bit of experimentation with the FL vst plugin.

I really like what i hear about logic though, but I would have to get a new computer for that.

Hey pitbull I just realized I have a listing here too :) Its not up to date, so heres what I tend to use these days :

Acid Pro, Reaktor, Battery

Thats great Amittai...Ill try that soon! I love to cut my samples in FL and putting it all together works fine with it too, but I should start using reason to make my beats. The sounds are much clearer and of better quality!
Ok matt, just changed it. Do you still use cubase at all?Just tell me if you want it deleted!

Pitbull - nah might as well remove cubase, just had a brief run with that, but found Acid much more my style

Yo Illusive, what tracks have you used Melodyne on? Just curious to see how you incorporated it. You were right before when you said it's a powerful program in the right hands. I'm currently training my hands to be right... lol.

Good call on extracting the melody from the vocs.

Are you using the stand-alone software? I only have the plug-in.

Niether of those tracks' vocals sound edited at all... Good work.

I used it in my track No Friends (Whatever). The beginning vocs are all from the exact same take. Those are supposed to sound natural. You can hear how I flattened the pitch modulation on the other parts in the song too.

Anyways, you've given me some ideas. Thanks for the inspiration Ill!

Thanks!

A thought crossed my mind... If you ever hear a track of mine that you'd like to remix or something I'd be glad to send the accapella.

Just a thought.

LOL, but it was just a thought... If I could edit it, I'd change it to "only an idea" in your respect. Hehe.
