For this reason I use Samplitude and not another also very good DAWs like Reaper or Studio One etc.Īs I said before, this does not mean that one DAW is better than another, I simply state what is the best for my needs (and may be others) and I would also like ProTools to handle crossfades differently, or at least in the standard way that other DAWs do. In my specific case and knowing that my editions will be sent to a studio that works with ProTools, it is important that the DAW can export in OMF or AAF format, in order to make everything compatible. Furthermore, if one or more clips junctions do not work well when listened to in total (quite normal to happen), in ProTools you have to delete the crossfade, correct the clip cut, rejoin them and crossfade them again. Those extra clicks that have to be done in ProTools in a session of many hours where you have to make thousands of cuts, become hours, making everything much more tedious. Here is an example of how Samplitude (or any other DAW: Reaper, Studio One etc. When everything is ready, I send everything to the studio and they do the rest.Įveryone knows that to obtain a good join between two clips it is necessary to use the crossfade. Having said that, what I do is listen (hours of it), copy, paste, trim, cut and, above all, crossfading. I work together with a studio who do dedicate themselves to the whole process, they have used ProTools for years. I do not do mixing or mastering (with some exceptions just for me). I am dedicated exclusively to classical music editing, therefore there are many special features of many DAWs that I don't use.

I'm just trying to make a specific point that corresponds to what I do and maybe someone who does something similar.

First of all I would like this not to become a war between different DAWs.
