PROS:
------------------
1.looks great
2.easy to get started out of the box.
3 SSL mixer
4.rebirth,reason 4 works within the program
5 works within protools with rewire
6 CPU light

CONS:
----------
1. too much crap on the screen.
2. if you don't 2 or more monitors, expect to get lost looking for things.
3. lots of "mousing about" to "reach things"
4. Doesn't have the editing ease that PTs offers.
5. no 3rd party plugin support


i like record a lot. but it seems to be utilized 4 use with multiple monitors, 3 for the perfect fit.
i like the way it sounds and i like the way its so simple i have over complicated it a few times. (oh! it just does it automatically!)

i have messed about with it for about 8 hours total. (the demo)
and i must say, if i hadnt been trained in PT with 6 years or so of daily use. id seriously consider making it my main daw.

however, it doesnt seem to be as in depth as PT.
they have said thier not trying to compete.

my main complaint is that there is too much crammed onto one screen.
and i get tired of "mousing about" to get to the gains on the mixer, then "mousing about" to get to the fader.
yes, i know there are options to eliminate the problem. but its not as intuitive as id like.....

hope that helps
