what is the best software for music production? you may have asked yourself
the question just like I did when I start out in this video I'll give you
some guidance on what to look out for when choosing a DAW. so what is the best DAW?
the answer to that question may surprise you
welcome back how are you doing I hope you're doing marvelously well. consider
subscribing to the channel if you already haven't. the best DAW is
the DAW that you can work the quickest and the most comfortable with. but what
that is? well, in this video I'll give you some guidelines for that. don't listen to
what everybody else says you need to use: Ableton, Logic or whatever every DAW has
its strengths and weaknesses and if there was one DAW for everybody
everybody would use it. there are a couple of different DAWs out there
I'll start by naming a few starting with the bigger ones
FL Studio, Logic Pro X from Apple, Ableton and pro tools
less famous are Studio One, Reaper and Cubase. but there are a lot more DAWs
out there. let's start off with FL Studio. I FL Studio started out under the
name Fruity Loops and they released in 2018 a Mac version, so it's now available
on the windows and on the Mac. FL Studio has a little bit of an image problem. a
lot of people don't take FL studio seriously, because they solve things
differently in their software. okay. and as a computer programmer I have to step
in here. FL studio is written in the programming language Delphi and Delphi is
not the optimal language to program CPU and computing heavy stuff for. but a DAW
is. CPU heavy stuff is written in a programming language C or a derivative
of that, because it is the language closest to the language of the computer
and every big software company that is programming CPU heavy stuff will use C
for that. but not FL studio, so FL Studio will never be the fastest DAW around.
You pay about 800 euros for the full version of FL Studio. then the software that I
know pretty well. Logic, Logic Pro X. I started out producing in Logic and I took
producing classes and Logic. Logic is just one version so no standard professional
ultimate etc etc etc. one version for 200 euros and it is the
cheapest and most complete software there's only a Mac version so Windows is
not an option, because it's produced by Apple. there are three big problems that
I have with the software: first of all you can't search for plugins and presets
regretfully, every other software can, but they don't do that
second of all it displays a message when it maxed out the CPU, then you have to
click OK and press the spacebar again to stop playing the song and will probably
max out again, so you have to press ok spacebar, ok spacebar, ok spacebar, that's
annoying. any other software crackles a bit and continues playing also what I
don't like is that the bugs are really not fixed in the software. Apple updates
pretty much everything from equalizers to spiffy-looking plugins
yeah, but the bugs for example in the EXS24 sampler they refuse to fix
if you want the detailed review about Logic, leave it down in their comments below
then Live or Ableton Live, everybody says
Ableton but they mean Live, Live is the name of the software. Ableton is the name
of the firm. I think life is the most used software by EDM producers.
in my search for a new DAW. Tried Ableton Live and I really like it.
What I like the most is that editor. it works a little bit like Lego and that works
really well. also I like the plugins at the bottom of the screen, but regretfully
that works only with plugins developed by Ableton itself, so you don't take
advantage of that with third-party plugins, and what I also like is the live
feature in Ableton Live and almost every DAW lacks that feature. what I don't
like is the way how automation works. I also don't like the track folding it's
too big or too small it's nothing in between
Ok, bye
1985 just called they want a user interface back. by the way
Ableton Live is about 600 euros: full version then ProTools well I don't even consider
it is a serious option for a beginner. you need a software and hardware key for
that it's really complicated and then also they charge you 900 euros per year
just for the updates, then on top of that they lack features: they are behind
on the competition. the only, one and only reason why you want to consider Pro Tools
is because it is used in professional recording studios.
I use Studio One because for me it has the least weaknesses. but it's definitely not
the best software around for example when I want to zoom in or zoom out or
scroll and a bigger project it lags sometimes two three seconds before it
reacts to my commands. also what I don't like but, ok I can work around, is the way
side chains work. it's horribly complicated. I name a few things I like
about this software: first of all this search feature for plugins, .presets and
files also you can drag and drop your plugins on your project. also the editor.
clips stick really nicely to the grid. then the preview file browser with auto
tempo adjust to your project. I like also the scratch pad: just to try things out.
automation right click on a point and just enter a value. then the range tool
from Pro Tools so the upper section of a clip means something different than the
lower section of the clip when you hover over it with the mouse. with one you edit
and with the other you grab the clip and I like the start page a lot. I like also
that the software is constantly being developed. you can find Studio One the
pro version that's the biggest version for about 400 euros. if you want a more
in-depth view of Presonus Studio One let me know in the comments below, maybe I'll
make a video about it. you can download trial versions of different DAWS
regretfully Logic is an exception to that. but even
Presonus Studio One has a full-functioning version that you can get for free on the
website. most DAWs have Windows and a Mac version. but again Logic is an
exception to that. but just choose one DAW and start with it. try to learn and
try to learn the basics. if you learn the basics in one DAW, you can apply that to
the next ,so if you're unhappy with your choice in a year or so, you can still
switch to another one, but I think it's more important that you learn the basics
than choosing the right one immediately. Does one music genre suit a certain
DAW better than the other? well I personally don't see why, because the
basics are the same, maybe the way you are getting there is different, but you
can produce hits with every major DAW and there are hits produced in every
major DAW. does one DAW sound better than another?
well yes but again the differences are so small and there are hits produced in
every major DAW. if it wouldn't suit the job people would use it
I found a comparison video on YouTube, I will link it in the description below
I want to give a shout out to Pianology who commented in my video about RAM for
music production that sampled instruments take up more memory than
non sampled instruments. thank you for that comment. if you have a useful
comment for this video leave it down share it with the rest of us. I love to
make content free of charge on YouTube but I hope you want to support me in
that on my patreon page for as low as just one dollar a month
