Mixing and mastering is my job, and I make a lot of music, so those things do matter, and this is mostly written from that perspective. I think now, after a few days of using PT, is the perfect time to write about my first impressions because, to be honest, the list I’ve been quickly compiling in my notepad would grow to quite a length in a month.Īnother thing I need to emphasize here is that some of the points I make may appear really irrelevant and minor to some, but please keep in mind that the small things or annoyances may be huge to those who work with audio every single day, handling multiple projects, always facing the limitations etc., which do end up getting annoying in the long run. By now, I’ve mastered around ten songs in PT after having set up my mastering chain in it, and I’ve done some mixing, too.
#PRO TOOLS VS ABLETON PRO#
I’d proudly call myself an Ableton Live expert, but I’m a Pro Tools newbie. I’d like to emphasize that this post is not trying to be an exhaustive feature list or such in any ways – after all, I’ve only had PT on my hard drive for around a week. I didn’t want to go super deep, but just make notes of all “Ah this is great!” or “This sucks” moments. I felt it might be interesting to jot down points about the differences between Live and PT as I go – as well as some shortcomings of both (to this day, a perfect DAW probably does not exist). I ended up liking it, and prior to writing this, I put an order in, which means I’ll definitely be using it alongside Live. Why? I had heard a lot of good about it in terms of its editing and mixing capabilities that’s my job and that’s what I do a lot on my freetime as well, so I wanted to check PT out. Having been an Ableton Live user for so many years, I recently gave Pro Tools a shot. LATER EDIT: I dropped using Pro Tools for good and am now doing everything in Ableton Live.
