Production software for beginners
Whats up all!! Qq—looking to make my own music and remixes. What is the best software for that? Pro Tools, Ableton, Fl Studio? What are the differences in these?
FYI I use Traktor S4 and maschine. Thanks for the help!!
Maschine within Ableton or any other DAW would do the trick. Ableton offer a lot of interesting feature and you can also use it with your Maschine controller… not 100% ideal but workable.
In the past I used Acid Pro and I liked it.
To be honest, there’s no such thing as “the best”, try few demo and make your decision.
Its personal preferance mainly, I like ableton. You should get into the maschine, its a pretty powerful bit of kit.
I’m a fan of maschine.
If you already own a Mac, Logic Pro is by far the most cost effective option. But it’s all preference. IMHO the best 2 are logic and pro tools by a wide margin with ableton coming in a distant third. Button should really watch videos and read tutorials and pick the one that seems to make the most sense.
One thing I’ll warn you to be careful of: Reason.
It’s really good and sounds great. A lot of people use it and apart from being kinda hokey (you have to patch virtual cables) it’s actually awesome. Except that it’s a completely closed system. You can’t buy plugins for it of any kind and are kinda stuck with what you get. That’s kind of okay because a lot of it is pretty good and they have a software interface called ReWire that gives you 16 audio a d 16 midi channels into reason and 64 audio channels out of it…but it’s sequencer still sucks and I you don’ like the sound of their SSL desk modelling, you have to rewire it into something else. I haven’t really do e any critical listening, but I’ll bet it’s SSL modelling isn’t great. Plus, you already own maschine which is a better drum machine and sequencer than the stuff that comes with reason.
And you don’t actually need anything but maschine unless you’re doing vocals or real instruments. Just get a soft synth and when you can hear the flaws, better processing plugins.
And go ahead and get a reverb that doesn’t suck. NI sucks at making reverbs.
