Hello Steve, this is Poppa Bear from the midi list, glad you made it over here, Chris Smart is over here now and a couple others as well. Slau gave you a good solad bottem line answer. After almost two years with PT, I can't see myself going back to Sonar for recording/engineering. I can't speak on the music production side as much because I am mainly running PT to record, mix and master my clients now. ----- Original Message ----- From: Slau Halatyn To: [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, March 12, 2014 7:08 AM Subject: Re: taking the plunge
Hi Steve, Welcome to the list. I can't comment on the comparison to sonar as I've never used it. I've used Pro Tools since around 2001 after switching from an analog console and multitrack tape machine. I won't sugarcoat it: you have a steep learning curve in front of you. You'll need to understand VoiceOver like the back of your hand as well as have a good grasp of the OS and how it works. Aside from that, Pro Tools is undoubtedly a complex program but so is Sonar and you learned that over time so, most importantly, you'll have to plan to spend a bunch of time learning it if you decide to go down this path.

I have just joined the list here. I am very seriously considering working with pro tools. I am currently a sonar user running sonar 8.5 with jaws. I am now considering pro tools, mainly because as we know the current sonar is no longer as accessable as it was. I have not bought a mac yet, but I think I'm getting very close to doing so. I know a little about voice over, and would be happy to put the time in to learning it. But I have never used pro tools and no nothing of it's workings. So not really sured just where to start. I guess the first thing to find out is just how much access we have. I run a recording studio, and use sonar just about all the time. Does pro tools give us as much accessability as what I am used too in sonar. I am quiet happy to put the time in to learning a new system, if I can turn it in to a good solid work horse. I also use a lot of waves plugins. mainly waves API, and ssl 4000 colections. I also use a free analogue emulater called endorphin. Do these programs work with pro tools, and can we get to the main perametres. A lot of questions.
