For the budget minded folks out there.

An exclusive version of ProTools so it's probably limited but for VO it probably rocks!

the ProTools version is free either way.. available to anyone that subscribes…the only limitation is .. you can only save three sessions.. in the version I have, you can't use third party plug ins…

Other than that, the 2nd gen made some upgrades that will more so benefit instrumentalists.. It looks like they did refine their preamp, though…

I looked up this package. Does it ONLY work with MACs?

You can't really beat $200 for Logic Pro X if you use a Mac.

I tried using some of my VST plugins with TwistedWave and they sounded HORRIBLE compared to LogicPro. No idea why.

Sure, it's a heavy duty program used in top-tier recording studios, but if you select the simple/basic interface it's not that much different than GarageBand -- BUT you have access to a ton more features as you grown/learn down the road.

If you like making music, well it's awesome for that as well.

Paul, you mentioned some of the iZotope plugins were "harsh" -- and using them in TwistedWave, I agree! I must have heard what you heard.

I tried using the de-click with the same levels/settings as I've used in Logic Pro, and it sounded HORRIBLE.

I don't think TW is really setup to handle heavy duty, processor intensive plugins that run live during playback like Adobe Audition, Logic Pro, Protools, or even Steinberg.

If you're going to produce professional products, you should be using professional tools. We all use quality XLR mics and interfaces, why should we be cutting ourselves off at the knees with our software?

We spend a lot of time researching hardware, but if we skimp in the software dept, we're creating a weak link!

Also, you can't run more than one at a time it seems (or I haven't figured out how). So you can't create a digital "recording chain" of EQ, compressor and de-esser. Well, you CAN, but you have to run each as individual passes...

And I wouldn't be able to make awesome retro, 80's music like this!

So while I love recording INTO TwistedWave and editing in TwistedWave, I sure don't master anything I need to master in TwistedWave. Nope, nope, nope...I'll stick to bouncing my files out of Logic Pro X...

Smile

But did they sound better in another program? (Like Logic or ProTools)

I never tried. The thought never occurred to me and I use Twisted Wave exclusively for single track
