So can you tell me why it's hilarious ? Because i'm probably younger than you and got years of savings ready to invest properly ?infernal.machine wrote:Nothing wrong with music school, but phrases like

Thanks for the support and yes i'm not from the USTomViolenz wrote: are they?! note the s at the end of tenthousand
Could mean 90 thousand far all we know.
And it's not even clear he's in the US, he could be working in Bulgaria, or Mexico, or Thailand. I imagine things are a lot cheaper there
Besides he already cleared up in a later post that he is a.) not alone and b.) this is on top of stuff they already have.
I seriously don't get the amount of condecension piled on the OP. Is it something particular to grey beards in the studio business?!
Because I have seen way more stupid posts than his get a better treatment here than him.
Thanks a lot for really good answerspinkpaint wrote:Heres my thing, seeing that your personal goal is mastering what I will say is that is truly an any DAW preference. Even for small sound masterings like vocal libraries etc.
If I was a mastering engineer, I wouldn't worry about avid racks at all. The only way I would worry about that is if I was doing mixing and tracking. With mastering your only using one track, so your not going to likely max out your CPU by using 5-10 mastering plugins with automation and stuff.
Some mastering engineers don't even use traditional DAWs and use software that is literally made for mastering and only mastering. I am by no means a real engineer but I personally prefer studio one for my masters. They have a ton of great plug-ins for mastering ontop of my trusted mastering chain.
Also, if your mastering, why do you care about a control surface, do you really need a control surface to push 1 fader?
My friend who left PT to mix and master in ableton certainly has a unique flow. Its all preference at the end of day, if you love ableton for music but your struggling to wrap your head around how someone could possibly use it to mix/master it clearly isn't the right choice for you to mix and master with.
If your really focused on building up your studio and having control surfaces and racks and all that pro tools isn't a bad DAW besides the fact that PT 12 is literally stealing from their customers it is a complete RIP OFF and way overpriced. I think in about 5 years time we will start to see someone try to compete with PT very intensely on the high end studio DAW but currently there is no question, it is the leader for people who have a lot of equipment.
Yeah. Without a BA you can forget being payed in money, if you wanna work anywherepinkpaint wrote:ps i love how people are hating on the OP for going to school and asking questions towards getting his ideas for his future in order. if your are someone trolling this OP you have no optimism to see easy purpose behind words not perfectly stated. (kinda like that sentence) Anyone who continues to hate on BA degrees in audio doesn't actually participate in the commercial music industry enough to know how competitive the industry has become. To understand that it is hard to become an intern at a studio in 2015 without a BA in audio engineering. There are famous musicians who graduated from music schools, I personally know 3 internationally touring musicians who are graduates and I can name many EDM people who did go to a form of audio school like makj and the chain smokers.
I would imagine that Ableton doesn't support EUCON (although a hack probably could be developed using Max4Live).Azedex wrote:Hello Guys and hopefully hello Ableton People
I'm on my way getting my bachelor degree in audio engeneering.
I did launch my own Record Label and using Ableton and Pro Tools atm.
Now i got a SERIOUS QUESTION.
Is there a way or will there be a way in the NEXT 2 YEARS that Ableton will be usefull in a Recording/Music Studio ?
I'm planning to build a studio with tenthousands of Dollars so we are talking of a serious studio not just a home studio (i got that now).
The problem as you know is that Ableton doesn't support EUCON nor DSP (correct me if im wrong).
I'm planning to get a 24-64 channel digital mixer, DSP systems, worldclock and so on.
Thats all fine using Pro Tools but with Ableton this probably won't work.
Can you please get me your idea of the whole thing?
The only solution i see when i really wanna use Ableton i will have to rewire it in Pro Tools, but seriously why should i do that i probably just make the music with Cubase (supports EUCON) and do the recording with Pro Tools.
Thank you for your help and input!
Regards
And NO i don't spend a 100k on Mackie Protocol.
I wouldn't necessarily say Ableton is good for mastering (but it can get the job done as well as other DAWs). A DAW I particularly enjoy for mastering is Studio One. It has a whole view dedicated to mastering but it is more designed for mixing/mastering in one program but it is nice how you can be in Mastering mode and need to fix something in the mix you can click on file and your project opens up where you can adjust fader levels, click on Update Mastering file and then go back to Mastering mode.Azedex wrote: So in particular :
Good for Ableton:
Mastering, making Music, doing small recordings
The answer is no, you aren't going to be able to use Live like Pro Tools.Azedex wrote: Is there a way or will there be a way in the NEXT 2 YEARS that Ableton will be usefull in a Recording/Music Studio ?
