+1 Ableton just doesnt have the tools for let's say 'comping' or even decent x-fades built into it. its not an audio editor really, it tries but for the most part fails.

At a push, for band work, i'd say PT, but if you havnt got the Digidesign soundcard it can be a very expensive purchase.

What's your hardware setup like?

exactly, PT8 comping features are miles ahead of the rest of the game and non destructive inplace audio editing is a godsend.

actually an m-box with protools and an m-audio lightbridge isnt such an expensive option these days and can give you up to 36 I/O (depending on the model)

doesnt matter about mac as the digi m-box acts as the interface so it would be protools LE he uses. the lightbridge is just input by adat for extra channels.

the 31 in 36 lightbridge out works out about £230ste

Ok, so which mbox are you talking about AFAIK non of them offer Adat lightpipe...

Unless its the Digi002 which s/h is gonna be about 400 quid. |(about 500usd)
