Cubase SX3 for tracking, Wavelab for editing and painfully bad home mastering :D

for instance i could take any host and any instrument and still turn out the same turgid shite i do with my host of choice :D

well said john

the person counts not the host

but I´m still searching for the selfcomposing tool for making instant TOP 10 hits :hihi:

weapons of choice here:
Tracktion2 and energyXT
and still sometimes CubaseVST 5.1
sound is vibration, vibration is life

Project5 2

Cubasis - I usually get laughed at for saying so but it does everything I need. I actually have Cubase SE but I cannot seem to get it to record midi input so it's as good as useless.

Main host: AudioMulch. Fell in love with it the moment I got my head around it. Host and instrument rolled into one. Insanely flexible if you are prepared to think outside the box.

BreadAndButter: Sonar 3. I find I'm still learning how to use it. Works great for me, on my AudioBoot I haven't even suffered the dreaded PCI-Latency terror (yet). Good for mixing, editing OMFs and finishing[1] stuff.

Stereo stuff: Acoustica and Goldwave.
Acoustica for all-round stuff, it's nice and elegant and version 3.2 has been pretty stable so far.
Goldwave for batch-processing and quick doodling. Does the job, goes way back (I believe) even if it looks... idiosyncratic.

Groet, Erik

[1] not that I ever finish anything.
Pop music delenda est.

Audio Mulch (principal)
Plogue Bidule (for certain low-level things that Mulch doesn't do.
Acid 4 (for non-destructive editing and audio layering)
Audition (for all other editing/mastering tasks)
Aodix (for those rare times - usually for soundtrack work - when I need to sequence actual notes).

Played around with Tracktion a bit, and it's OK but I find myself wishing it handled tracks and events more like Acid, which I can work more blindingly fast in.

Have recently found that ableton live 4 pretty much fit my needs at the moment, needless to say i am stoked at the improvements announced for v.5.
Still keep T1.6 around, may use it if I ever get to the masterin stage (FinalMix).
Only other things I am really using are Reason, Recycle & Rebirth.
thinking of grabbing wavelab lite for more audio editing options, plus maybe a few more commercial plug ins.
I like to keep things minimal, & explore the functionality of what I have - there's still loads in reason & Live that I haven't grasped.
