and now as of the release of Studio One 4 - we have a convenient & relatively painless way in which we can transfer a Pro Tools session over to Studio One. Regardless of all this, the concept remains that you may very well be collaborating on a project with a colleague who is using Pro Tools.
#Studio one vs pro tools professional#
Case in point: Studio One 4 Professional paired with a Quantum, a DP88, a handful of external Preamps, and a FaderPort 16 is a pretty Badass setup in my opinion.
#Studio one vs pro tools software#
So where it used to be the case where people ran Pro Tools because the hardware required them to do so - In my opinion, there are now a lot more professionals running different software with 3rd party interfaces for their needs. I think it's safe to say that at one point DSP powered rigs were absolutely essential in professional music production setups, but now with the reliability of High Speed thunderbolt interfaces such as the PreSonus Quantum, (and many others), this is no longer the case. This in itself has had an impact on the whole concept of DSP powered rigs & accompanying software. Another thing to point out is the huge paradigm shift we have seen in the recent years as native processing power has improved leaps and bounds. As has been said by many others before me, and will be said by many after me - the best software is the one that works for YOU. Now having said that, this does not mean that it's "the best" by any means. Although some may argue with this statement (and that's completely fine) I'd personally go as far as saying that I cannot think of any other audio software program to date, that has made it's way into so many studio's across the world the way the Pro Tools has. If you plan to make a professional career in the audio production industry - at some point you are going to be dealing with Pro Tools, whether you want to or not. Regardless of which DAW you choose to work in, one thing is pretty much certain.
