Hi Cara

Thanks, I’ll keep the Focusrite 2i2 as a very simple solution in mind. But I 
think I’ll need a bit more than 2 ins and outs, at least at home.

 

On a personal note: Are you an app developer? I think I’ll give your LookTel a 
try, sounds interesting.

Betreff: Re: Hello and first question accessible audio interfaces

 

Hi Ben,

 

I cannot comment on the software portion of audio interfaces, I have had great 
luck and really like Focusrite.

 

For what I am doing at the moment, I just have one of their really small ones 
the Scarlet 2I2 and really like it a lot.

 

I will probably be moving up to a larger one at some point but since I am 
mostly doing production work and recording no more than one or two tracks at a 
time, the 2I2 is working wonderfully.

 

It is USB powered and has no software component to it. It has appropriate knobs 
and switches on the front and connections on both front and back. It is just 
recognized by the Mac automagically.

 

As far as DAWs go, I have both Logic and ProTools and would recommend either 
for different types of work.

 

I will say though, that if you want straight-forward and intuitive workflow 
right out of the box, use ProTools!

 

while Logic is certainly accessible and usable out of the box, if you are doing 
work where you are getting paid by time, wanting to do really fine editing or 
if you are working with anything larger than about 25 tracks or so then expect 
to have a whole lot of infuriating frustration with Logic and Voiceover. :)

 

I am using it since I am doing a prolonged (relaxed) production project for 
friends who have it and so am learning lots about it and it’s workflows. With 
Voiceover though, the processes can be ridiculously convoluted and flakey to 
get some of the simplest things done. -Just my thoughts of course.





However, depending on what you are doing, some processes are handled really 
nicely in Logic. There are a lot of nice conveniences and shortcuts for 
processes that could be really time consuming which are made really easy.





My experience with PT is limited by comparison since I have been spending so 
much time with Logic of late, but as I said, as a whole, it is my opinion that 
PT is just a more streamlined and intuitive workflow over all when using VO.





So take that for what it is worth. :) I like and use both for different things.





I’m assuming others will chime in as well with more informed perspectives. :)





Hope this helps.





Cheers!





Cara

Hello all

 

I’m a musician, composer and teacher. I got myself a mac a few months ago. I 
bought Caketalk from Dancing dots a few years ago, only to find out that it 
didn’t quiete work on my computer. Now I’d like to give music production on the 
mac a try.

So, my first question here is about getting a fully accessible audio interface. 
What are you using ? I’d like to have a really professional device, 8 to 16 
channels with digital capabilities. And the interface should be really 
accessible, including software mixer. For the last couple years I have an RME 
Fireface UC. I rely on premade presets from a sighted person. For my mac audio 
interface I’d like to have something I can manage myself, if this is possible 
at all. I don’t mind buying extra hardware like a midi controller for this to 
happen.

And I actually have a secondth question : I just did a little experimenting 
with Logic Pro so far. And I was able to record a small test track with the 
integrated instruments this program offers in about 30 minutes of first use. 
This was pretty amazing. But aside that I’m totally new and aks myself wheter I 
should start using logic pro or pro tools for my work. I got here because 
someone on the Dancing Dots list suggested me posting my audio interface 
question on this list.

Which DAW is more accessible  out of the box ? Because I never had really good 
experience with jaws scripts using sonar I’m hoping that both programs could be 
used without any scripts which just work in a certain system configuration and 
so on.

I hope I don’t sound too pesimistic and frustrated, alltough I admit that I was 
just that when I found out my purchase of Caketalking was for nothing after 
much fiddling arround at the end. But I’m willing to start anew on the mac. I 
like this OS so far very much.

I’ve got a Macbook Pro 2015. And if things are working out fine and I need more 
power in order to do my things I’m considering to buy a mac pro, if there will 
be a new one eventually that is ...

 

So, thanks for your help and kind regards

Ben
