Ruphus, how can it be faster if most edit functions in PT are just 1 key? I have the possibilty of trying out Samplitude, so please enlighten me.
This is mainly because of navigation in the editing window.
Hopping from one point in timeline to another, dealing with marker points, highlighting sections without losing them when you click somewhere else ( in amore conserving way than in PTs corresponding feature ), or highlighting a region / object while keeping a section marked in the timeline, grouping ungrouping clips on the fly, zooming vertically / horizontally in diverse ways ( pulling with the mouse, buttons, scroll weel, keys ... depending on what fits best in the individual situation ) in different manners depending on stop or play ... things like that work much better or solely in Samplitude.

It also boots and closes much faster, processes quicker and is just easier on the system.

What I have to expect on workflow when launching Samplitude makes it just another emotional state to boot compared to the times when I used PT LE.

It has its disadvantages and misconceptions too but for me it is without question; Samp is the more practical and flawless program.

Not that market behaviour would be telling too much, but I estimate that you´d find more people who have switched from PT to Samp than vice versa. ... For a reason.

PS: "Live" according to latest user comments could be another contender for easier editing than in PT. Their zoom is different from Samp, but very nicely concepted as well. And I recall from older versions that it sounds great too. We have at least one person here who switched from PT HD to that one. He is very enthusiastic about his dicision.
