After nearly 2 months yesterday I've decided to continue these projects in Pro Tools instead. While I do like working with Logic, there are many things that seem awkwardly implemented compared to Pro Tools (inability to "unlink" regions from the tempo map for example, a real PIA and huge waste of time) and some basic features that are missing, such as region consolidation. It also dominates nearly all of the online usage polls.ĭon't get me wrong, if I have to stare at something the majority of my day, I want it to look good and be clear, but Reaper looks like a mess to me, and I customized and tweaked the hell out of it.Įvery now and then I get sick of Pro Tools for some reason and recently I've started 2 projects in Logic (I'm doing film music) - I've worked on DP for years as well, lately though I find it more and more difficult to work with (GUI and eye strain, playback performance/cpu load, lack of stability/reliability with large projects to name a few). Prolific output does, not setting up endless scripts and endlessly tweaking the UI.ĭon't get me wrong, if I have to stare at something the majority of my day, I want it to look good and be clear, but Reaper looks like a mess to me, and I customized and tweaked the hell out of Randolph said: The vast majority of DAW users right now are hobbyists, and based on the sales data that has been shared with me, Live is currently the best selling DAW by a fairly significant margin.
Why wouldn't Zimmer, Gregson-Williams etc., who can afford anything they want use Reaper, Live or other DAWS? Because when it comes down to usability, all the powerful features in the world don't matter. Reaper is super powerful in some respects, yet so is Linux, and BOTH can be a total chaotic mess to work with. Yes Live may be the best selling DAW to "hobbyists", but among professionals, those that make a living bringing in money from composing music, you would rarely see someone using Live except the EDM crowd.
