Re: Reaper VS. Protools
From Avid,
IMPORTANT! You MUST use a secondary hard drive (not your main OS drive) for recording and playback of audio in Pro Tools. Recording or playback from the OS drive is known to be problematic and the cause of many different error types. If you are using your system drive and encountering errors, the first thing you should do is get a compatible drive. USB drives are not supported and are known to be problematic, so please do not use them with Pro Tools. If you're recording or playing back from a USB drive and are getting errors in Pro Tools, please switch to using a compatible external firewire drive or internal SATA/ATA/IDE drive and disconnect the USB drive. Pro Tools supports recording and playback to a secondary drive that meets the following requirements: 7200 rpm or faster 9ms seek time or faster Firewire drives must have the Oxford 911 (FW400 port), Oxford 912 (FW400 & FW800 ports) or Oxford 924 (FW800 ports) Bridge chip. USB drives are not supported and are known to be problematic. Here are some useful links to determine if the drive you have, or are considering, has the proper chipset:

Re: Reaper VS. Protools
Well not completly ture.. Limited track count, yes. ADC - much needed. But, fades are under edit then all the way at the bottom of the collum, and the slip editing is at the top left hand corner beside grid mode and when the tracks are stretched out they can be moved as freely and precise as you can get them.

Re: Reaper VS. Protools
alright then. I'll look into getting a FW drive. I do have a loaner Glyph drive that I could use. it's a friend's but I'm sure he'll be ok with me using it for now.
here's a question: I only have a single FW800 port on the imac. my interface is FW400 so I have to adapt it. which should go first the drive or the interface? does it matter? |

BTW I needed to tune some vocals yesterday, so I exported the audio files from PT, inserted REAPER in as a ReWire instrument and then dragged the audio into REAPER and used reatune for automatic autotune for free and then hey presto!

I lurk here often but don't post very much. I'm still pretty new to PT, less than a year, even newer to reaper, only weeks. I do participate on other forums and almost daily users are either using reaper in conjunction with PT or dropping PT all together. I love PT but I have to admit that they need to lift their game because they're not even on par any more they're falling behind. It sucks, I don't want to learn another DAW, but for a few bucks to get a bunch of features the PT should have it's really a no brainer. PS thanks for the autotune tip. |

Re: Reaper VS. Protools
yes reaper is wonderful! I mean actions alone is worth the price of admission. I know you can do macros for PT, but you don't have developers thinking "oh that would be helpful for ppl who make macros, let's add that function" in the PT world.
so anyway! what's the word on the firewire? hard drive before interface, or interface before hard drive? if it doesn't matter I'd go with interface after harddrive because turning off my profire 2626 turns off the harddrive and I tend to do that by accident sometimes. |
