Why don't you ever hear about Sequoia or SawStudio in discussions like this?

perhaps because Sequoia is the post-production version of Samplitude?

Dunno about SAW though - maybe because it's fugly?

Yes, protools is all about the lock-in.

The Digi hardware is nice, and TDM/RTAS stuff
is pretty good, but it's all expensive, and when
you get into the realm of "expensive", there are a lot of things that are "nice".

If I had the money, I'd hire a group of forest gnomes to write me an album then slap my name on it.. while I relax poolside on my yacht, sipping a cool drink...

...wouldnt cost of a PT rig afford this?

I don't know about forest gnomes, but the kind who sit around on beaches until your "Black and White" deity shows up, then sings songs about how much they want you to finish their ship for them, are NOT people whose album you'd want to put your name on.

We have a big TDM rig here at work. You have to pay me to use it. In fact, you need to pay me about mentioning PT in a thread.

Please Pay amount shown for PT consultation: $5000.00

Will there be anything else?

It depends..For a home studio like mine, i need more the best pc around, than a complete pro tools solution which should fit better to someone who ownes a pro studio (with many artists recording many types of music stuff there, other demanding and other not.)
With new technology when someone is not a professional in music industry, but a "home musician - researcher - music technology student etc.." he could buy middle priced but veeery effective hardware or software.For example, in my opinion, someone who buys a 'state of the art' pair of monitors for his home studio, is giving extra money without a reason, because monitors like these need exactly measured room dimensions and professional "calibration" of the room's acoustics to work right.It's the same with pro tools.It's the case that someone needs them for...

Me neither. I can't see myself doing the kind of work where I might need it.

i would not, sir.
pt is fine, but so are a lot of others now, so unless i got it for free, i wouldn't bother.
but many others would. so i bet pt doesn't even mind that i wouldn't.

I have a PT system but I never use the software coz it blows ass. The hardware on the other hand is worth the money alone. Whether it's the converters or wtvr the f**k it is, I have yet to come across another solution to touch it! I have a couple of comps with different soundcards, namely a Delta 1010 & a Motu 896HD. Both of them are toys really although the Motu isn't too bad. I've tried a few different ones like the Emu 1820 thingy and the Fireface, can't say they impress me. Never tried a UAD or a Powercore so can't comment. So what to dabble with next? I wonder what the Focusrite Saffire is like...

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
except no software would run on it

Nuendo and Win2003 support 12 CPU.
