I use ProTools. The first time I recorded, the engineer used Logic and I liked it, specifically because you could bounce tracks in a sped up tempo and didn't have to wait as long. With ProTools, you have to wait in "real time".

I found that more studios used ProTools and therefore it was easier to use from a communal standpoint. I find the program to be extremely intuitive and very similar to most others in the way it looks and what it can do.

I'm no expert, but I enjoy using ProTools. I've got a LOT to learn but at the same time I feel confident that what I have to learn is "learnable".

Protools is the industry standard for Audio recording unless thats changed recently? + the extra power you get from dedicated hardware must be nice. I used Protools for a while in uni id like to get it back up and running again when i build my new machine.

-I don't think it has changed. I like using it but the version I have requires that I have the "dedicated hardware" present even when mixing, which is silly. I should be able to just take my laptop and some headphones to a coffee shop and work without having to lug and M-Box with me.
