if you have some good plugins?i mean,i see people all the time say "PRO TOOLS" and "CUBASE" but does it matter if you have some top notch plugins?i use adobe adition to record and my shit music sound good with the "WAVES DIAMOND BUNDLE" but i would like to know does it really make a diffrence in what you record in?
does it really matter what program you record in...

I was wondering the same thing
you need a good soundcard/audio interface and you do have to know how to properly use those plugins though, i do know that. You also need alot of ram on your computer to keep all those plugins and vsts running simultainiously. aside from that recording software shouldnt really be that much of a factor, you just gotta know how to use what you have.
Im not one of the experts though, Im waiting on what Hersy and Sickwidit have to say

They all SUM different and they all have a different PANNING LAW but for the most part it's based on the interface (sound card, sound card pre amps) and the ad-da conversion thats taking place. I've heard a difference in plugins from different formats. The UA pultec does NOT sound like the BF pultec. IMHO both sound great but I prefer the UA but own the BF. Confusing?
I've never heard of audacity so I can't comment but what are your needs? I'll say it before and I'll say it again pro tools is cool but it's not the ULTIMATE. No program is the end all be all and to be honest I'm sick and tired of pro tools. I own it but use cubase sx for myself and I don't have any complaints.
:HGK:
PS so why do I have pro tools? For my clients. It comes in handy when cats say "I need it pro tooled". LMAO!

No. What I'm saying is the way your sound will be determined is based on what your running the sound through (pre amps and converters) and how the program handles the summing buss. I would be more concerned with the pre amp and converter aspect.
UA is UNIVERSAL AUDIO. BF is BOMB FACTORY. Both are companies which pride themselves in making plugin replicas of this:

I've been using the pultec eq as one of my top 4 eq's. I have the waves eq but I like the pultec better. I'm able to dial in and get the sound I want hella quick. .
I'm loving it
:hgk:
ps BF no longer exists as a compnay. DIGIDESIGN/AVID bought them out.

Heresy
i just bought a UAD-1 card, got the La-2 for free, and bought the Precision Limiter for 100bucks
(i got the project pack)
i love the Pultec EQ it's so simple, i love the LA-2a plug, and the 1176se isn't bad
the Precision Limiter shits on the L2 from Waves
but still sucks
but hey, you kinda gotta use a brickwall don't you?
yes, first it's MICROPHONE, but a great mic can't be great without a great Mic Pre(or at least a very good one) then it's your Interface/Ad Converter, i use an outboard Converter, some people use the ones on their card
the only one on an audio interface card that is GREAT(besides sadie and what not) is the Lynx 2

AAWW MAN,SAV,if you like to record vocals,WAVES DIAMOND BUNDLE is the program.it also makes beats thump waaay harder (RBASS) without the overflow on the bass like eq does.
