*****My primary interest for this is recording my band and getting great quality, mostly recording live instrument and some MIDI stuff****
I am interested in peoples FACTS about Pro Tools vs. Vegas .... (the origianal ProTools v. Vegas chain had 42 replies and only one had any factual information, the rest was bickering & BS. )
1- I read Vegas isn't great with MIDI? explain?
2- I can get 001 for $600 - Vegas Software alone is $400 then I need an I/O box and Sound card, which will probably run at least another $400 for something decent. Is it really worth it.
3- Please add any facts PRO & CON PT or VEGAS
(THIS IS THE ONLY FACTUAL INFO I FOUND EARLIER)
Does Pro Tools have the ability to place CD markers along the timeline and then burn a redbook CDR?
Does Pro Tools have "Unlimited" Track capability?
Can you open multiple Protool sessions and copy and paste data from one another?
I believe Vegas was the first one to allow you to mix multiple file formats in a single session, while Pro Tools was locked on a single file format per session... MP3/Wave..at any sample rate and bit depth...Did Pro Tools finally catch up to that idea?
Can you do ANY video editing in Pro Tools?
How about import a video, just so you can do post production sound fX's?
Or do you have to buy an "Avid" to do that?
Can you individually mute events without having to mute the entire track?
Can you right click on an event and open it up in a 3rd party stereo editor?
Can you RESIZE the mixer section, input section, track view?
Can you Dock and Undock windows?
Why is there 3 tools designated for doing simple editing, when you can do them all with 1 in Vegas?
Why do you have to pay $3500 for an 888/24 that only gives you 8in/8out ability?
I have 8 IN/20 Out ability and paid $600 and it sounds just as good if not better!!!
Protools finally got their "Beat Detective" feature....wow..ACID has had that for what 3 years now hasn't it? Why is Protools 3 years behind in this feature?
