That would make too much sense. Its funny because one of the reasons they give for choosing reaper is prohibitive costs of upgrading PTs. Now the suggestion is pay 50 more bucks to add an unnecessary component to PTs. Outstanding logic...

LOL

I guess the flipside question would by. Why not just have all reaper users buy PTs to ensure compatibility on all levels, if the should happen to get a professional gig?

I do understand the pros and cons of Reaper vs PTs, but once you start getting more gigs, not having PTs can get annoying. I was anti PTs for a long time. Not somuch these days. If you are a hobbyist, its MUCH easier to fight the good fight.

All that being said, I historically have mixed audio in Samplitude. I will probably get PTs this year though. Having artists fight with lazy PTs engineers can annoy them. Annoyed artists may view your shop as unprofessional due to the lack of convenience.
