"People even record in Fl" That hit alot of people hard lmaooo

[@jarkkojs]

There are two essential game changers in hip hop: MPC and FL Studio. Period.

[@senseii562]

Yea it's Tru...

[@jarkkojs]

​@@andrethedias Akai MPC sampler was the thing in 90s. FL Studio was for later generations kind of "different same" so to speak (cheapish sampling tool). This video oversimplifies things. In real world, in professional context, you'd use FL Studio or whatever you like (does not really matter) to make stems to do your mixdown. In final mix and mastering situation, yes, studios commonly use Pro Tools for that. To save a lot of money however, I'd recommend just to learn Reaper instead to do final mix and mastering. It's not a huge leap to use Pro Tools after you get it right.

[@Katishan]

@@andrethedias A lot of people use ableton even in in commercial studio. In fact i own one and i use ableton. For me it's one of the top 3 DAW in terms of workflow. It is fully capable of all you need to do and even more.

[@cubasbeatproducer2374]

FL Studio just keep getting better and better and the way it's laid out even when you record somebody you can instantly create some serious effects in the vocals in a very non-destructive way. It is so versatile and when you really learn how to use its stock plugins it's a monster

[@gaunterodim8131]

FL is more of a midi daw than everything in one. It's good to make fast beats because the piano roll is one of best but other than that it's poor. The mixer is the reason why I switched to Ableton, it's much clearer

[@builtlikesnorlax3644]

I just started using Pro Tools and I love it! Love your content too its great man keep it up!

[@bw2937]

Yay!!

[@alexsavastru8125]

I started out as a producer with just plain old FL Studio 12. After a while, I thought of merging my passion for music with that of writing and started writing and recording with FL. Now I know that people Pro Tools is better for mixing and sure, it might be, but my proficiency with FL allows me to focus on making the best music i want to make without thinking about where the gain knob is or how to access the mixer and all that other stuff. Really, just use whatever daw is comfortable for you. Metro produces in FL but mixes in Pro Tools. Hella artists use Ableton. Just use whatever you enjoy.

I'll say this Wavy, I'm a PT vet, been using it for maybe 11 years now, and even though I've picked up other DAWs like Logic (also my side piece haha) I still find comfort in making records in pro tools from beat to reccording lyrics mixing. Music friends ask how I navigate through pro tools and make beats. They just don't understand the full capabilities of pro tools. !llmind makes beats in pro tools as well. great video man!

[@daisyoconnor134]

Your videos are very helpful, much appreciations Wavy

[@IncogNito-fv7ty]

Soundstream, the first commercially available DAW was released in 1977. Also, Before "Digidesign" it was "Sound design" then "Sound tools" before Digidesign bought it. Sound Designer was originally designed to edit sounds for the E-mu Emulator sampling keyboard.

[@IncogNito-fv7ty]

BTW: I Just thought that was interesting. I'm not tryna "School you". lmao

[@yoadmaimon2007]

Got here right after hop pole studios' reaper vs pro tools video, and he's not the only one that started to understand that the only thing pro tools offers is limitations. There are loads of videos about that topic you can check out. Making music is literally being in your comfort zone and not letting anything interrupt your workflow

[@dabrialiverecords738]

Hey Wavy, i just want to say that i started using protools with v12 release. I also want to say that everything i know (which aint saying a lot) i learned from you. Thanks, you always bringin some good stuff. I do have a protools licenses questions for you though. If i purchased a licensed version I should be able to use that license version as long as my OS supports it right? Cause my computer crashed and i replaced the SSD and now when i try to download my v12 it keeps giving me that "intro" BS. What to do man? I will say that your videos have gotten me really comfortable with Protools. Thank you!

[@Momo-gf9iw]

Hallo Wayne What is your Mixer Hardware pls. it seem great!

[@itskane1791]

I almost threw my PC out the window messing with pro tools. Paid for the subscription. Made the iLok/Avid accounts. Downloaded everything. Soon as i went to press activate it said there was no licenses in my account. After a week of battling with this and CRAPPY customer service. I deleted the damn program off and unsubscribed from their monthly thing. I never felt so much anger and frustration with a daw. Idk where I'm going to go next. Maybe Adobe. Idk. But I hate Pro Tools

[@palayreacords5192]

The license is just a plug in usb you can go buy that from a sound store

[@CurserTV]

Did you do a tutorial on how to save a session to take to other studios

[@KenLuciano300]

Where do I get old versions of pro tools

[@synthoelectro]

Every single person uses what helps their work flow. Mine was Ableton Live since 2012, for mixing, but lately I needed to move away from it (just for mixing) as I use it for making music. A mixing related software is key to your workflow, now I use Cubase and starting to mix in Pro Tools. been mixing and mastering from many DAWs since 2000. I really like Pro Tools, it feels like music.

[@jasonaspy6322]

Reaper. All the power I need at a fraction of the price. Fully customizable-not only with appearance and skins with with fully editing my own shortcut keys for faster work flow. No ilok. Extremely STABLE, and uses cpu resources very efficiently. Powerful and easy editing, especially audio (others probably do midi better). More functions than I’ll probably ever get to, but good to know they’re there.

[@waynewav]

Thanks for that. Reaper sounds cool.

[@jasonaspy6322]

@@waynewav it is, but i say use what's comfortable. If you've already got a flow with whatever DAW you have and it does what you need, there's probably not much sense in disrupting that to chase whatever shiny red ball just rolled out in the street. Thanks for the love! I always dig your show.

[@ryanreach3710]

True that. And Reaper is used in lots of voice over/game studios from what I hear, so it's making some headway.

[@Ch1mereucheya]

I own PT Ultimate and Nuendo. I first used Cubase,, then Nuendo and currently I use both Pro Tools and Nuendo. I got Pro Tools while studying Mixing, Advanced Mixing and Audio Mastering at Berklee because every Prof taught with Pro Tools so it was easy to follow along. I like PT I must say, especially its transport, smart tool, and mix window. But am sad to say, PT is currently gathering dust on my desktop (havent opened it for months) because Nuendo is packing a lot of punch for me. It's just blowing PT away with its flexibility, pristine audio-engine, and workflow speed. Nuendo's workflow is a PT killer. So many things are very easy to do. The key commands are also easier to remember and execute. If you wanna flip open the mix console/mix window, it's F3 in Nuendo but Ctrl + in PT (you have to use two hands). Quite a lot of commands executed in Nuendo with one finger, would require two with PT and many other stuff (like to Solo in PT you use Shift + S but in Nuendo it's just S). So many advantages in key commands, and you can even build your own key commands in Nuendo (very customizable). The only thing that attracts me to PT is the mix window (I like the mix window tracks, folder tracks show up in the mix window, and the beautiful design of the mix window, coloring, and also the fact you can see all your plugins at a go), but other than these, the edit window/project window of Nuendo is the 'ish for me. It beats PT hands down. You can mix your song entirely in the project window of Nuendo and wont even miss the mix-console for a moment if you choose. Editing is also very nimble and agile in Nuendo. One other thing PT does so well is the Audio Suite, which Nuendo has as Direct Offline Processing (DSP), but I find PT's Audio Suite very solid, but hey, Nuendo's DSP is advanced enough to deliver the goods, so am happy with it. The logical Editor and the Project Logical Editor in Nuendo are so powerful for processing midi and audio operations and multiple other stuff, that nothing in any other DAW including PT comes close. Tempo Detection and Tempo Changes in Nuendo is a breeze but it's a lot of pain in PT if you are not very experienced. I can go on and on to elaborate. Steinberg, the German company simply blows Avid away with so many engineering feats. Trust me, Nuendo would blow PT away especially with the great advances in Post-Production which it has made.

[@Eljulitus]

Not according to my experiences. >15 years within post production, and close to 25 years professionally with Pro Tools. I don`t at all need, or even miss the Mixer window in PT. So it's kind of interesting that you experience the same thing with Nuendo :D That being said. I miss Digidesign and I truly *hate* AVID! Everything I miss from PT (especially due to my tendonitis), are the key commands which are soooo much better compared to all the other DAWs I`ve tried. Otherwise, I encourage people to avoid Avid's pro tools.

[@ActionFigurine]

What do you recommend for an artist just starting as an rapper/singer? Is protools a good go to or should I start elsewhere?

[@waynewav]

I’d start with Pro Tools. Then anything else would be easier.

[@kevinshabach]

I’ve been using Adobe Audition for last few years and I kinda want switch to use the “standard “ but I’m so comfortable with Adobe Audition and dnt have the time to learn something new. Plus I think my mixes come out pretty good. Do you have any suggestions for any good plug ins to improve vocals for Audition? I Appreciate your videos my brother your energy and spirit is on point 👊😎 peace and blessings thanks!

[@genesisagain4247]

[@diminamer]

I started on audition as well because it was provided by my school. I would say that now you are familiar and comfortable with audition you should switch to another DAW with a more efficient workflow. It will be incredibly easy to learn a new DAW if you've had to deal with audition lol.

[@guetunes]

I use MPC 2.5 to mix and add a few plugins, and bounce the wav files to Pro tools to finish/polish my production. I definitely prefer recording artist in protools hands down. MPC is a really good daw which syncs with my advance 49 & mpc touch (VIP 3.0 too)

Yo Wavy W, thanks for all your tips Bro'. I'm in the process of recording a couple bangers and your tutorials help a lot, also I'm a PT 11 guy. My 1st Daw was a Digi002, with the flying faders, that was the shit!!

[@Eljulitus]

Are you in need of automation, suspend automation function and easy access to these, then you unfortunately have to go for the HD (Plex) versions. Otherwise, I would go for the Studio version. If you dont need to own PT, you can rent it. Sucks, but at least that is an option.

[@blown9079]

Quick question. Hope you are doing Well btw .. so im starting at ground zero with my very first studio set up and i truelly went All out. i purchased the apollo twin the slate mic bundle that comes with the Amp basically every single thing that a persom needs to begin recording right away .. and i also purchased the protools licence .. for 600 bucks .. but was that even Neccesary? Do you think i should of just went with the subscribions and saved myself all that money ? And whats the diffrence between actually buying the licence vs subscribion. There has to be pros and cons and also do i have better benefits or there is no diffrence in actually buying it or pay for subscribions.. i will only be using my set up to record by the way . And possibly mix

[@mrvron]

Protools is good bro but cubase, Studio one and Logic will be a good bet for you it all comes down to you i use FL and Cubase and PT but FL is my main DAW

[@robstaylor4234]

I like logic. I use pro tools too just so I know what I'm doing when I go into other studios but I find making instrumentals and do vocals in one daw to be very easy. Logic has alot of similar features with what I find to be a simpler interface. No Ilok needed and I get all the free updates . Logic also has a lot of features similar to FL now and some solid stock plug ins. At the end of the say its like you said "what ever you are comfortable with".

[@mreugenealmighty]

I tried with Ableton didn't like it and I use Fl studio specifically for making beats cause I like its step-sequencer and the perks it has in the piano roll etc. Been using Fl studio for like 8 years flat. But I recently started messing with pro-tools and It was so easy to use just by using it so far for like 3 days. Very simple to use from a basic standpoint level that is. I like it as far as editing, mixing, and my main thing just making beats so Fl studio always does it for me in that area. Im comfortable and fast with Fl studio So I'll never use pro tools for beat making but mixing editing seems more focused for that reason in my opinion. Not saying people can't make beats with pro tools but I just like fl studio better when it comes to that specifically. But pro tools pretty easy for me to get more to learn to use. So Im going to get familiar with it just for the fact of just having a basic understanding of it. So if I was to go to a studio at least I know what Im looking at. That's my purpose for the pro-tools thing but Fl studio always going to be my beat maker program.

PT:third party plugin causes a crash? Everything you did for the past 30 minutes is lost it was probably trash anyways. LG: oh you purchased logic great it will open right away not problems at all.

PT: you wanna add crossfades to a grouped multitrack instrument? sure, it'll do that LG: well, that's not included in editing groups, so you have to select all the regions first. as well as the following regions. PT: you wanna use a take from a playlist on a separate channel? sure, you can just drag and drop it out. LG: well, you can technically do that, but it's at lest 5 more steps. PT: you ran out of DSP power but only want to freeze DSP plugins on a channel? no problem, freeze up to an insert. LG: well, we didn't even thought about that would be a problem for people in the studio using probably 50% DSP and not native plugins. PT: you wanna adjust anything on a record enabled track like fader, solo, mute? sure. LG: well, you can technically do that during playback, but you won't hear the change until you stop the playback, disable arming than restart the playback. PT: wanna solo band our Stock EQ? sure, we have a keyboard command for that. LG: WTF is solo band? PT: don't wanna spend a fortune on plugins that sounds like the analog gear you wanna use in a session? sure, we give you 160+ plugins that we modelled after the exact hardware. LG: we actually have some emulations but they only look like the thing we modelled them after but actually sound nothing like ethem. PT: you wanna search for your plugins instead of going through the enormous list of vendors and find the exact eq you're looking for? Sure, just start typing.

And the list goes on... yes, there are benefits of using anything over PT, I don't agree with them as a company either, but their software is going to be an industry standard for a reason. Do we need ARA2? Sure. Could we not use iLock? Would be amazing. Could we open multiple sessions at once? We'd love to do that. Could they add VST or AU support? Yep. Is there any other DAW on the market that is not trying to add unnecessary features targeting the average users / songwriters to sell more licenses and actually ignoring the feature requests of actual Audio Professionals? (Don't say Reaper, it doesn't even have AAF import so transitioning to it is a nightmare).

Yo JEB I was a die hard FL Studio user for years and I still think that it is lit!!! But......you gotta give Studio One 4.5.1 a go my brother. If you add the ATOM pad controller along with it or any midi keyboard, your possibilities with beats are endless. I use S1 for both beats and vocals all in the same DAW. That way you can mix ya beat with your vocals rather than exporting stems in FL. If FL would ever step up their linear recording game workflow like most DAWs including Cubase it would be a Monster!!!!

[@JEBJOSH]

@@EHall-yx9xy studio 1 is also great. I agree.. I actually know how to use about 4 daws. FL , studio 1, Ableton, and cubase. I just find the FL for making beats so so easy and straight to the point. I use studio one for vocals too sometimes. But cubase is the easiest to record mix and handle vocal correction. I basically use what I feel like when I can. But most of the time it's make the beat in fl and record in cubase. Not just because of it being in one daw 😅 but there's this level of inspiration I unlock when I switch daws. That's the main reason

[@francisbawasanta6310]

I use FL to compose and Cubase for recording sessions. I been using FL since 2.0 and I get ideas down fast. For vocals I use Cubase for the comping feature with Variaudio for correction. I do set up the system to behave like protools though. Either way I end up sending out the stems to my engineer who of course uses protools. My own templates make sessions easier. I've tried PT a bunch but I'm just slow in it and barely get anything done. FL & Cubase are my perfect combo.

Me too is somewhat sorry for your wallet. But then again, with PT (especially with flex/ultimate/HD), you have the possibilities to become a true gunslinger when it comes to key commands! Using the I-beam is everything you will need if an insane amount of speed is what you`re in need of. Also check out the menu popping up when hitting Enter to create a marker. Lots of possibilities in regard to layouts, hiding tracks, zooms, curves showing and more. Holding down Ctrl+cmd+alt while mouse clicking on a Plug Ins parameter should offer some usable opportunities. Combine this with the third party macro program QuicKeys, and the limits are endless! PT is insane for audio editing. I still prefer Logic for music making though.

I download a shitload of VST's sometimes random amounts, random styles, Limit myself, Surround myself with tons of outlets, and I prefer windows, so it being on that is a better platform for me making things because I have NO budget for audio, I have to make everything free for myself with no royalties. I have gained enough knowlege to know what type of drum synth sounds I want, and I can pretty much from memory recall what types of drum synths I love, and if not I can google them, but I have a pretty well rounded list of packs I know about that can help me make some one-shots. I like loops sometimes, when I'm working with Drum N Bass, Neurofunk, and sometimes Dub, sometimes a loop fits right, and sometimes the loop itself needs to get chopped and screwed. There's many ways to do that in the mix, out of the mix, moving things up and down through, rerouting, it basically has ENOUGH of the tools I need in order to accomplish basic versions of what I am looking for. I'm not super into mixing, can do a little bit of it, but my version and style is in between crude and at an artist's standpoint, so I would like to make it sound like what I want. I haven't collaborated cause I'm really like a 1 man band, and I can keep a song going, change it into a completely different sound on the fly, create micro-songs that link up into mini-albums, and even drag out the same couple of chords or sounds for minutes and minutes just to register "a point" or bit of media I want without that many limitations.
