Industry Standards

[Creeg]

I was just wondering what people had heard, or even worked with in the industry.

Currently I am working with Pro Tools and Logic Pro, trying to improve my skills with these programs. I have also heard of Sonar being used and a few other programs.

Personally I preffer Pro Tools, simply because as I tend to do sound design. My composing leaves much to be desired, as I have a tough time making a correlation between melodies in my head and Logic Pro.

This also leads into another question I have been mulling over.

How important are compositional skills in the industry?

I would say I am pretty good with sounds, but as stated before, not great with composing. I am of course trying to improve these skills. Though I still wonder if I could achieve a job working with mostly just sounds and effects.
