So glad I watched this. I used PT for years until they went to the subscription model. I switched to Ableton Live for about 6 more years making EDM & Techno. I like the fact that you can use cells. You can do that with Logic too, but it doesn't work as well. Well, Ableton crashes a LOT now. I went with Logic. Now, with Ableton AND PT, you can move the channels around in the mixer so you can organize things. In Logic... you CAN'T unless you click on the "read" button and put the channel in the arrangement window. In PT and Live, you can see the grid through the audio clip. You cannot in Logic. Those two things make me want to change DAWs again. I was thinking about going back to PT. Now, I'm thinking about Reaper. Thanks for this! Very timely

Extremely underrated DAW. Very powerful and I used it for years (in fact the original UnaStudia theme that comes with it is made by me). There was but one BIG issue back in the day with using it on linux: the lack of professional fully compatible 3rd party plugins.

Used PT for over 20 years because I worked at a post facility. I switched to Reaper when I left (about 6 years ago). Never looked back! Glenn nails it👍(Hey, lookin good Glenn.)

*Saw the title* "Hey maybe he's playing devil's advocate and showing ways PT does actually have a leg up on the competition" *Saw the thumbnail* "Oh"

Dude, I can't believe you wore a suit for this.

[@MarkMassengale]

IKR the fact he mentioned Pro Tools alone gives him all the credibility he could ever need..

[@nobodyimportant76467]

I’m astonished that he even owns a suit

[@bruceMooseman]

These are my favourite videos from glen! 😂😂 The sarcasm level is just so enjoyable.. especially as I'm British 😂 Most content creators only managed this much sarcasm for a few minutes! Good job! 👍

[@nyeehah]

Well Glenn, good news is if the whole sound engineer thing doesn't work out, you can become a body double for Penn Jillette.

I was thinking the same thing, same energy level also.

[@amsyarzero]

Businessman Glenn is so rare, it's somewhat scary 😅

[@trevor_mounts_music]

I downloaded Reaper to have something similar to Logic that would run on my windows laptop - never went back. Reaper with Renoise/Redux is the ticket for me. Now that I have everything setup how I want, I can do just about anything with a single mouse click/keyboard shortcut. Super efficient piece of software. It stays out of my way so I can keep things moving forward and get more done in less time. 👍

[@Btvstudio]

I switched to Reaper a few years ago from ACID (that I'd been using since '99). I've never looked back.

[@northwoodmediaworks]

Well done man. We used SoundTools back in the day for mastering before DAWs existed, (it was pre-Avid of course) then.... Digital Performer, Cubase, that's the direction we went, and now we use Reaper the majority of the time. Well said. You clean up pretty good too... you do look like Penn ... lol

[@ryanbates9668]

Also, Pro-Tools has the word "tools" in it.. tools are, by definition, REQUIRED to build anything, and the use of sophisticated tools are what separates man from other animals. And the word Reaper sounds kinda amateurish and scary

[@mantaproject]

OMG, you have convinced me!! I'm selling my Mac Pro and Macbook Pro and ask my parents for a loan so I can buy Pro Tools Ultimate bundle. Just have to save up for new PC then.. 🤪 Thank You Glenn for opening my eye's!!

[@lloydster9000]

The people running Avid are a bunch of professional tools… got it. 😉

[@paulrudin5845]

Actual props for maintaining the sarcasm. I was checking out Reaper on a friends recommendation. To keep an open mind, I checked out your video. I guess I'll go back to exploring Reaper technique and functioning.

[@thepagnaet6361]

This is pure Monty Python, only missing the British accent. Well done, Glenn!

[@gameon2000]

Glenn, if you'd cut your hair, you'd pass for a decent federal agent in that suit 😁✌️

[@blaggironheart9919]

they wear cheaper suits. but they fit as well.

[@gameon2000]

@@blaggironheart9919 well, Glenn would be a dept. chief director then ✌😎

[@flash001USA]

Dude!... I was on the KZbin home page and seen your photo in the thumbnails and thought to myself that "Hey that guy looks a lot like That metal engineer dude" then I thought that "Hey he really does look like that metal engineer dude and he could pass for his clean cut brother" then I realized it was you. For a moment I would have sworn I was in a parallel universe!

[@jakubturlinski7159]

Oh, the irony... Glenn, I'm converted. Where can I sell my soul and sign the blood pact with the AVIDevil?

[@Mateo_Romero]

I almost spilled my coffee more than once, this is by far, the best passive-aggressive burn I've ever seen

[@nerd_one_ai2157]

lmao. this was great. glad im not missing anything. what do you thing of cakewalk? i use FL studio. just dabbling in other daws.

[@gregloch6743]

Love the sarcasm Glenn! I’m a Pro Tools guy and this is spot the fuck on! I’ll continue to use Pro Tools because I know, like it, and it works for me.

[@rl2905]

I'm not really a DAW connoisseur, but I've read so many horror stories about Pro Tools. I started out with Reaper and I've never felt the need to switch to anything else. It's just fantastic for everything that I do.

[@liamhenderson3753]

Reaper is top of the pops! It's the only DAW I ever actually purchased. Their business model is great. They regularly update and have a great support community. I LOVE it!!! EDIT: I paid for the non-commercial license. About $60. I doubt I'll ever make money with music but, if I do I will for sure pay for the commercial 100%

[@Twisted9]

Pro tools calling “Hey, it’s Pro Tools you got my fucking money?”

[@FrankieHiltz]

The first time I ever bought an interface was about 11 years ago, and it was an M-Audio box of sorts. It came with some sort of version of pro tools. After 2 weeks I came upon reaper, and I've been using it ever since 🤣

[@1sostatic]

Great point Glenn, the extra zeros on a price that psychologically coerces people to think it must be better...deep sigh... I hate prestige pricing

[@chaosreaper9255]

The sarcasm is real and this version of Glenn reminds me of every ad I've seen on TV and the internet
