Hey City Boy "Jem E Logo"!
I don't think that's the reason.
I think Digidesign does have a monopoly and dictate the prices.
THAT's why they are hated. The same with Waves.
There's nothing wrong with their products.
I have HDIII and Logic Pro and I love Logic.
I can write and produce a hit song on Cubase, Logic, Digital Performer, Sonar, Live etc.
But if you work for clients you need PT and that's a pity in my opinion. Altough MW is a living proof that you can work without PT IF you really want.
I do think HD is overpriced especially if you take a look at Logic.
It's incredible what you get for 400 bucks. (Although I know the reason for this is because Apple wants to sell their computers) Most young guns start out
and stick with Logic these days. I think PT will stay the leader but Logic is getting a monster and maybe the thinking that PT is a must have will change.
Who knows... But one thing bugs me.
People defend their DAW to tooth and nail which is stupid.
We are the users and decide what we use.
I started out with Digital Performer moved to Cubase and then to HDIII and added Logic Pro later.
If I wouldn't have clients I would use Logic 9 and a 8-core Mac with Waves Native Platinum Bundle. No Powercore or UAD PCI because you need to buy them new with every change. That's why I think the WUP is still better than buying new hardware again and again.
