And no watermark on it. what the what?

Have to agree there. The actual compositional ideas and writing is good! but the timing just ends up ruining it. I would just solo the piano, then bring in the claps and quantise those, then work on each track one by one and make sure each element is sitting in the right spot timing wise, then repost. Its nearly there, you’ve already done the hard part, coming up with a good idea!

I just tried it as well, same problem…....

whoa…. as I was typing, it looks like the whole upload system has been reset. I lost all my uploaded files. Try again now guys

Thanks everyone, I am trying out both Presonus Studio One, and Logic Pro 9 and will report back here what an Ex Protools guy thinks! By the way, Reaper has been fantastic, and does a lot that other daws dont do, the customisation and flexibility is second to none. So if you want power and flexibility, by all means give it a decent go.

By the way, has anyone here tried the new Protools 11? What do they think of it from a writing/composing/production standpoint? Still too bloated and cumbersome?

Hmm. A few +’s for studio one, and a few for logic. I must admit I very very briefly had a look at logic in the past and didnt gel with it too much, but that was years ago on PC. Im on mac now and it could be completely different.

Big +’s that would really win me over would be

1. Great midi editing / quantizing / editing. 2. A daw that focuses on adding instruments, (even according to genre) rather than tracks. Quick access to variety of sounds to try stuff out.

I could probably set reaper to do all that stuff, but it does take a lot of time to setup track templates, and I find the midi editing / quantizing quite frankly lacking.

Would be awesome to have a DAW that lets you add instruments according to Genre, or category/ sub category/ eg Piano, Grand Piano / – and then a list of all your Grand piano patches, regardless of what plugin its hosted in (PLAY / Kontakt / Ezkeys….)

Hi Benji,
switched to Presonus Studio One in January 2012 after being a Cubase user since Atari ST days.
I have never been able to produce such an amount of music since I made that switch… thanks to S1, I have at least material for the next year or two on my harddrive…why? I can sum it up in one sentence: Studio One NEVER throws me out of my creative flow!
Cheers, Sascha

Awesome Sascha, thanks for the quick reply. Im definitely checking this out in the next few days. The built in Melodyne is a MASSIVE plus!

Hello my fellow junglers, just wanted to throw out a quick question to everyone out there. Who has maybe had the same frustrating experience as me in my day to day job as a creative musician.

While technology and software have come a long way, I still find myself being interupted by technology, or not being able to get ideas together as quickly as I’d like, which means breaking creative flow. I’ve been a long term user of Protools, and recently jumped ship to Reaper which I am enjoying immensely, though I do miss some of the Digidesign only plugins. (especially the AIR stuff)

Im wondering if there is a better DAW for people who WRITE and COMPOSE. For sketching and fleshing out ideas REALLY FAST, not just interested in mixing / editing. Even if I start my tracks in that and bounce to another to finish off.

I’ve been looking at Presonus Studio One, and Ableton Live 9 in particular. The workflow is meant to be very fast for writers. Anyone recently moved to these, or tried several and come up with some conclusions? I’d be most appreciative if you would share your experiences and why you have settled on your current DAW.

Logic, cubase, protools 11, ableton, studio one, Reason, DP…. interested in any options, and opinions!

Thanks heaps guys,

Benji.

...is a movie I’ve never seen… but one thing I have seen this morning is a change in my paw color!

Friends, I had hoped to reach silver within my first year of being here. Well, I was about 1.5 months off, but I sure am grateful. To think that I’ve sold $10,000 of audio just astonishes me. It’s hard to grasp with my mind.

I’m grateful to the wonderful staff for these wonderful marketplaces and the importance they put on community and letting us meet them at the meetups, to you my fellow AudioJungle authors whom without the encouraging words I would have given up a long time ago, and to my buyers whom without I would have definitely given up a longer time ago.

Keep pushing yourself to write better stuff and always think long-term here. You’ll never be disappointed. Every sale is a gift.

Mate, I cant think of a more deserving person. You are a model of talent, hard work, friendliness, and above all consistency. Well done, and keep on truckin’ partner!

Mine hasn’t been processed either, but its usually on time. I’m sure it will be processed soon. I imagine there is a delay for some reason. Maybe a moderator can shed some light?

And of course if you need anything edited, sound or timing/length wise let me know. Thanks!
