OK guys, I know this may sound like a dumb question, especially coming from
a almost considered newby, but I can't help but ask.
So many professionals I've talked to have told me that the industry standard
is definitely ProTools. I always hear people saying if i turn the radio on
to any Country music FM radio station now a days, or say, top 40 station,
etc. Everything that I pretty much here will have been done strictly in
ProTools. nOw, there may be paid plugins that were used, not just the
stocked ones, but then again, some times it may! just be stocked stuff. I
posed the argument question of, ok, now hold on. Who's to say they're not
using something like QBase, or say Logic, or what not? I was given the
answer of, it's possible, but highly unlikely. MOst likely, you can bet
money on 99% chance, everything would be done in ProTools from the actual
recording to the final master/mixing. So for instance, let's just take
Leann Rimes for instance, with her You Light up my Life Inspirational songs
disc, as that's absolutely by way! far and away one a my favorite discs of
all times, that I practicly ware out darn near. LOL! Something like that,
you all really mean to tell me a recording that sounds that good literally
can be totally done in nothing more than just P T with a good interface,
microphone, and maybe control surface, with exactly the same software that I
am using? ProTools 10? That's unbelievable! So, granted I have a $300 or
so mike, and maybe a $300 or so interface. NOthing fancy. What she would
probably be using, oh God heavens alive! I'd think the surface alone! would
probably be 10's of thousands of bucks, but generally, for a regular
recording artist like her or Randy Travis, Amy Grant, or Steven Curtis
Chapman, or Alan Jackson, etc. YOu know, basically, the big dogs, does
anyone know exactly down the the make and model what basically a big time
studio like that would consist of for really full grammy based artists like
that using ProTools?
