On the subject of Pro Tools, why is it the industry standard? Its so $%&#ing horrible and awkward to use..
Because the overwhelming majority find it gets better esults than anything else?
I'm very much a novice at recording, but I find that whilst it's a little less intuitive regards MIDI (though that's all about to change, apparently) than some other programmes, it's just as easy for everything else. And every single producer and engineer I know that are actually full time proffessionals swear by it. For whatever reasons.
It's not like all your major league studios run it cause they just haven't tried anything else...there's got to be real reasons in there.
I havent tried it, but its more than worth noting that protools only works with digidesign hardware. A digi HD rig is good stuff, and when you
know your DAW and soundcard are going to get on perfectly and deliver the results, then its an easy package to buy into.
Oh, apogee works too, I think. But they arent designed in conjucntion with the DAW.
