Well i am in the middle of mixing my first album for my first customer and the first thing i work on that isnt my own band and I'm finding it hard not to just invest in a new DAW mid session and import all my wav files and midi information.
I have Protools M8, and while i know it is a tad outdated in comparison to PT10 the problems just disgusts me.
The lack of ability to freeze plug ins is utterly absurd and forces me to print things constantly to keep space free so my cpu can breathe.
No automatic plug in latency compensation has me manually lining things up and making sure everything is in phase when using drumagog.
Having to wrap every VST is annoying and Not to mention how unstable my client is, it regularly crashes and runs crappy. I have 12 gigs of ram, a 3.2 ghz phenom II x6 core processor so its obvious its not my pc.
Initially i was thinking of upgrading to PT10 and crossing my fingers that most of these problems would be alleviated but with the crossgrade coming in at a whopping 500 bucks i might as well just save some headache and hop on another DAW.
Im thinking Reaper due to the performance and price. Any suggestions?
