Well...I use PT 7.3. IMO If you want to be able to bring ya work to any studio,
it's worth it. There are other programs that do the same thing and better.
PT is considered by many to be the "industry standard". I use PT 7.3. Depending
on ya needs, Cubase may be worth checking out.

Yo Wook Doggie He said to work with the 4K....They're documented sync problems in the past between PT and the 4K you might wanna check to see if these type of things have been remedied with the newer versions of PT.

:twisted: Whut Up Vet... if he does the following, he shouldn't have a problem.

Sorry bretts... Reduce ya buffer size to 128MB, if ya pc can handle that, for latency
and for the sync...use pre-roll on the transport bar in PT. Try a pre-roll of 4 bars. That should work. Second thought, since you haven't brought anything...try cubase.

Saying get PT because it's industry standard is a bit :? I say get what works for you. I assume you make music in your bedroom and you aren't in big studios all the time (i apologise if i'm wrong)
My opinion is that i just don't like PT for midi. It's crap compared to Cubase, but i'm biased because i've been using Cubase for longer.

If you plan on doing more electronic styles then i wouldn't bother with PT

If you plan on recording bands, doing post production, editing audio then Pro-tools is good, but have a go on PT before you waste money on it.

It may be 'industry standard' but it's not for everyone. And not ALL studios use pro-tools. Some use Cubase or Logic. Thats what i hate about Pro-Tools. The whole you HAVE to use our interfaces and DAW thing. Pro-Tools training is waste too. Spending £$$$$££££££ just to learn keyboard shortcuts?

I did Pro Tools training, completed it, got certificated, and got job 2 weeks later! :wink:

Maybe I was just in the right place at the right time - but I know for a fact that without PT certification - I wouldn't have got the job...

WTF JNorth. Yo azz can't read or something. Did you read my ENTIRE post? Did you read the SECOND Post. I basically said what you said (about Cubase), BUT I mentioned that PT is industry standard. That's fact. Don't get ya panties in a bunch, then reply directly to me because YOU hate the PT strangle-hold. The man asked a question and I gave him MY opinion. I stated it was my opinion.

Smartazz...I know ALL studios don't use PT. And who the f*ck mentioned PT training. You. Don't get mad 'cause you wasted money on the training or wasn't good enough to complete it :wink: You shoulda brought yourself a crate instead. Dude... you took a simple Q & A and turned it personal. Back the f*ck up North.:x

Bretts...like I said before, get cubase, but if you have PT try what I said earlier. If that doesn't work...ebay PT. Sorry fa jacking ya thread to bust a few heads.
