Alejandro Reyes Posted May 22, 2019 Report Posted May 22, 2019 Just so everyone is aware, I am fairly new to sound editing and design. I'm also contemplating getting Adobe Audition and learning on Curtis Judds course on his website. The one thing I don't necessarily agree with is the monthly charge; and for that matter, I checked into Protools and since I last checked they are now starting to charge a monthly subscription. Honestly. I would feel much more comfortable just buying the software upfront, without having to a monthly or yearly fee, just like I've been buying things gear and so forth. Now I come to the part where I ask, are there any of you using Pro Tools, Adobe Audition, Audacity, or Ardour? What are the pros and cons and how do they differentiate from each other. The last question I have is are there any online courses I can take for Ardour besides having to go to youtube in the same way Curtis Judd is doing for Adobe Audition. Thanks for everyones help!

Mobilemike Posted May 22, 2019 Report Posted May 22, 2019 Most people here in the USA use Pro Tools. If you ever want to collaborate on sessions with other studios, you have to know Pro Tools. You can buy PT upfront, it doesn't have to just be a monthly subscription. -Mike Quote
codyman Posted May 23, 2019 Report Posted May 23, 2019 It's pretty limited but why not download the free version of Pro Tools and learn the basics with that? Once you get some experience under your belt, jump up to one the paid versions. Quote
haifai Posted May 23, 2019 Report Posted May 23, 2019 at the post houses here in germany its mostly pro tools and some nuendo. some freelancers use reaper ore a mix of all. i think codymans idea is good - to have knowledge in Pro Tools is pretty important if you want to work in postproduction...
