Re: switching from PT to Cubase
Posted: 21 Apr 2017 13:27
I use Pro Tools on Mac a lot but as I have a few more customers on PC lately I mixed a few projects in Windows 10 to see how DTouch (and Windows in general) behaves there.
Some things I noticed:
General:
+ build-in touchscreen support of Windows obviously gives you a better user experince system wide
+/- window-handling reacts different, sometimes Pro Tools gets confused (for example Video-Output stuck in fullscreen etc.)
- some plugins (ALL WAVES plugins) don't react to touch at all. (In Cubase / Studio One they do, in Pro Tools definetly not)
E.g. Positiv Grid Bias also doesn't react to touch.
(see this thread: viewtopic.php?f=10&t=150 )
- with LOTS of Busses, sometimes Pro Tools doesn't show the "scroll down" arrow
Dtouch related:
- banking is slower (fast banking mode sometimes gets stuck in bigger sessions, so I disabled that)
- Solo buttons in Dtouch seems to be only available via Touch (in OSX you can also control them via mouse)
(maybe that's also true for the rest of the DTouch mixer? Can't remember right now)
- resync is a bit more picky about open elements on the screen (like a floating fader)
Best wishes from Hamburg,
