Short answer, no I haven't had any experience with it. Let's use a car mechanic as a metaphor. If all I did was fix my own car at home, I could pretty much use inexpensive tools, and only buy the ones I needed for my car. But if I owned a shop where I had to fix all kinds of cars, then my tool requirements would be completely different. I would also need some very expensive computer diagnostic tools, and you get the picture. So my opinion doesn't count because I have different needs. If a particular software helps you creativity, or at least "lubricates" it, then use it. These days most digital sounds about the same, especially when it ends up on an MP3. I think there are a lot of programs that will allow you to get your ideas down, but for my needs it's ProTools. Thanks gvdB, I was gonna say that, or I guess I did say that. I DO think the discussion of all the Protools type programs is extremely healthy and very relevant. It's how we all learn and stay current. I know I have learned about some new products on this thread. Isn't that the purpose of this forum? LEARNING. Good work guys.
