I'll go on a limb and say that if u spend the same $ u spend on a all full pt rig but on a MAC/Logic or a PC/Nuendo u can probably get a easier 2 handle and as pro sounding setup!

The PT as always been designed with the DAW/ mastering perspective..

SX/ Logic/ Nuendo with the electronic musician in mind! so it's loads more appealing!

I've stuck with cubase since it's earlier incarnations, and I would rather spend the same amount of a super Carrilion PC with RME and about 2 Powercore+2 UAD1 and sony/ waves/TC/ natives/ ETC plug ins!


PS - there is a program (can remenber the software house ) that make all VST i/ Plug-ins RTAS compatible! ;)
