“Recording in Pro Tools, or why we don’t do it.”
Pro Tools is great. We don’t use it. There are a lot of digital audio applications out there, but we’ve honed in on a couple that get the job done: REAPER & Logic.
REAPER is blazingly fast & lightweight. The whole program is less than 6mb. It has varispeed playback (like a tape machine), the most flexible routing of any DAW (like a patchbay), 64 bit end-to-end audio engine, unlimited track counts (unlike Pro-Tools), time stretch & pitch shift – it really goes on and on.
Logic is a mature DAW. Stable, well-designed, and capable of handling anything you want to throw at it. It’s also nice for musicians who have done their demos in Logic; you can open up your session on our supercomputer.
Regardless of what software we record with, your tracks can be mixed or mastered with any digital audio application, including Pro Tools. If you’d like to bring tracks in to Bad Racket from another studio, that works too.
