Wow. You don't hear that every day! Tracktion sure is getting more attention/approval these days. Makes me wonder what I'm missing...

If I had 12 grand burning a hole in my pocket, I'd probably get a faster PC (mostly for heavyweight synths), Lynx Aurora I/O, API preamps and a few UAD cards for more high-end plug-ins. Actually, I'd really hate to track and comp with any sequencer without track lanes (like Cubase and Sonar), and I don't think I've seen that feature in Pro Tools.

I spend a lot more on my Rig. Cubase SX, 4 UAD Cards, Magma Chassis, several Soundcards and putes and quite a lot a lot of legal well selected plugs.
Pro tools is a blast from the past, as any DSP card to be franck.

when does one draw the line between aquisition and learning of software and actually applying it to the task at hand?

If I had tons of money, I would not go to Pro Tools...why bother, SONAR does everything I need and it does it better.

If money really were no object, I would build the most bad-ass PC I could imagine...a 64-bit machine with 8 Dual Processors, a terabyte of RAM, 2 3-head video cards, 32 channels of audio I/O with top of the line a/d converters...the works
I'm glad the c major scale was invented before copyright law

I allready work with PT :D
Still the very best for audio, IMHO.
I never use midi, so PT's midi capabilities do not matter to me.

Some of the Pro Tools-only plug-ins are nice. ;)

I'm really not that impressed by what I've seen so far, but the controller support is way superior to anything else as far as i can tell. So what's so good about PT anyway? Or other hosts for that matter. I'm running SX at the moment, and the only real advantage i can see with digidesign stuff is the integration of hard and software. I think Yamaha is on the case though. I can see that becoming a real 2-way battle for integrated hard and software. What do you guys think?
Why don't you ever hear about Sequoia or SawStudio in discussions like this?

The reason you get ProTools is so that you can (A) have a standard interchange format with contractors, post studios, etc., and (B) so that you can put in your ad that your studio has ProTools (even if you never actually use it.)

If money is no object, I thought Sequoia and SawStudio were the DAW software to get. ProTools is kind of low-end-to-midrange in that market.

if money was no object, sure i'd buy pro tools. i'd try it out and if it was good then i'd use it, if it sucked, i'd throw in the corner and go spend some more money......

I'm smart enough not to keep using something cumbersome just because I bought it.:roll: And no, it's the latest $200 version of Tracktion.
