Protools Carbon Brainworx battles UA Luna Apollo UA Plugins 

This is a good point. It would be interesting to see a complete list of plugins and their authors.

Amen, brother! I've finally picked up my first [unsigned] artist project. I could not have THOUGHT of doing this while still under the thumb of Protools and its "maybe it'll work - or not" platform.

They have been watching on a role lately.

"the last several years"? Are you kidding me? [or yourself] - more like the last few weeks! "The king"? QUACK! Im was college-trained on Protools - ran it in my studio for years. I can NOT legitimately testify as to how it effected my studio business, aside from questionable subscription issues, and a plethora of computer OS dead-ends. Avid can SUCK IT! I'm with Logic, and I cannot see anything in the future to change my mind. Perhaps [perhaps] yYOU might like to look into a different DAW where you're never shut down - never held ransom for payment - and have everything a knowledgeable producer could wish for - - - AT A FRACTION OF THE PRICE! Imagine - a world where you can go to sleep not having that nightmare, "will my session open tomorrow?" Sleep easy. Logic Pro.

Good to know, and very interesting!

This is actually kind of huge. At least in theory. Like using multiple lenses on a camera so you can adjust the depth of field after the shot is taken.

@@davidcamarda8723 More like racking focus or racking apertures but yeah same concept.

OK we got some camera boys in the house too right?

@@BarryJohns Lol professional photographer. Audio is the passion, the camera pays the bills haha

Yea, I probably over did it!

@@CraigScottFrost True, it does crash a lot. Best to have a machine dedicated solely to Mixbus and constantly make snapshots (save states). The sound is worth it IMO to deal with the headaches.

Also for the record it did not go unnoticed by me that you ignored my complaint about my being banned to be allowed to post in the DUC, but I’ve noticed that you have chimed in on my other videos. Here is the thing, in all of my videos I’ve been encouraging to Avid products. I paid 4K for Carbon, but I have disdain for Avid for obvious reasons. Based on your lack of response to my point as well as how I’ve been unfairly treated by folks in your roll as well as Avid. I’m not going to let that go, not as much for me, but everyone else that has been treated like me. So to be fair, I’m telling you now, that I will be referencing your comments or lack there of, as well as my treatment by Avid in a future video. I’m not the kind of person who will blindside you or anyone else. I have legitimate complaints and I feel it’s necessary to share those. I don’t mean to cause you any personal issues, but we all must stand by what we do as well as what we don’t do.

@@BarryJohns Read carefully please. I said it was something I could not comment to, even if I wanted to, without breaching my nda (on the other video where you made that comment in a reply to my comment.). I do understand that you have legitimate complaints, everyone does even in the mod team. I just can't comment on someone being banned and on what reason. And you're not causing me any issues, just know that when I'm commenting outside of the duc it's as a personal point and not with my mod badge. Especially on a non Avid forum (ie RU-vid, sometimes I do comment out on Facebook mentioning the duc to help someone out.)

Nope.

If they did that will all their plugins, they would dominate. My biggest issue is to do a decent size mix you need to buy more DSP, that would be understandable if they were using current Sharc Processors, but they aren’t, they are well over 15 years old.

@@BarryJohns I agree. I really would like to see more of their lineup running in Luna native!

Only the ones that UAD partners with Brainworx, and those have to be purchased by UAD.

@@BarryJohns Ahh ok so I could use the Brainworx natively or on Carbon and have a full selection from Plugin Alliance but UAD its limited to the DSP only and less selection? Really enjoying all these studio and gear discussion debate videos 👍🏻

@@dylanhughes4548 thanks Dylan! One of my goals is simply give people things to consider when deciding which way to go. Kona like you’d have when asking in an online forum.

As long as they are audio unit plugins.

I actually have a video coming out soon on that very topic......but considering that the majority of higher end interfaces now ship with onboard DSP for tracking, I'd say a lot of people still need it. Think Antelope, Apogee, RME, Metric Halo, Universal Audio, on and on, remember, just because you may not need it, does not mean that everyone else has the same needs you do. Just something to consider......

@@BarryJohns Totally agree. Back in the days when I used Pro Tools I was begging for some more dsp power in every session I did. Now I am in Reaper. Enough said. :-) Btw: Cool channel sir!

I believe carbon would solve this and accounts for all delay compensation properly, although may be buggy sometimes.

Be patient, coming up soon, great interfaces!

I use Apogee Quartet. Same category as Antelope. Insanely good converters, only for the hardcore I guess.

@@davidcamarda8723 For sure! I think Apogee has a far better rep than Antelope just because their stuff has been stable for quite a while, I think a lot of people just attach an astigmatism to Antelope because of their rocky past with reliability.

I have to agree. I started with Antelope 5 years ago with a Zen Tour and I HATED the software issues. Sold it. But a year ago I bought an Orion 32+ from VK and have never had a moment’s trouble with it. Not one issue. I’m back in Antelope’s camp, especially with that brilliant routing matrix. I haven’t touched my Apollo x6 in 11 months. Will sell it for a Silicon Mac and a UC1!

Carbon uses sharc chips as well

No, they are two very different plans. If you have a perpetual license, you own if for life, if you don’t pay the annual fee, you are stuck at whatever version you are on at the time. With subscription, if you don’t continue to pay, you can no longer use it.

@@BarryJohns Carbon always provided a Perpetual parachute license. You can use it forever. If you want to get the the new version, you buy a subscription. When that runs out, I believe your forever license stays on that version. So it's like a Perpetual License that you can renew with a year of updates for the cost of a subscription. I'm 95% sure that's how it works.

I think you and I are saying the same thing. Check out my video on Universal Audio Wale the Freak Up.

@@BarryJohns Yah. i watched that video. I must have misunderstood you in this one because of the statement that you said about brainworks ported emulations sounds the same on both platforms. You must have been sarcastic and i missed it. Sorry bout that ! Btw i really like your point of view on alot of things.

Thanks, I appreciate that!@@cheadlejuice-musicproducti5875

Because AMD motherboards aren't signed/lisenced for Thunderbolt which is an Intel technology, which UA uses.
