If you want industry quality, You Need Pro Tools
Pro Tools is my #1 program for anything that I need to do as it pertains to audio. There is no 2nd best option.
PROSPro Tools is the crux of my recording studio. From recording, to editing, mixing, and mastering, basically all things audio, I need and love to use Pro Tools for it. I believe it has the most user-friendly interface and functionality.
CONSAt times, Pro Tools can be a RAM hog so it's vital to ensure you have enough RAM or you may have to upgrade for it to be at its best.

The Real Standard for Audio Recording and Music Production
Pro tools is my audio editor because it's reliable, and includes all plugins, and tools required to deliver my productions. It shines in audio quality, and works pretty well with any audio interface in the market. Absolutely a must for any audio editor/engineer today.
PROSVery accurate for editing. Best sound processing, all the tools you need to deliver a professional audio media are included in the subscription.
CONSRequires a lot of memory installed on your system, but once it's ok, it will be running pretty well.
Reason for choosing Pro Tools
The integration with complex workflows allows me to interact with video editing stations, share media, and get synced digital tape machines.
Reasons for switching to Pro Tools
Pro Tools has a better integration in the audiovisual workflow with video editors

Pro Tools - Powerful, But Aging
I've been using Pro Tools since 1998. And even though I favour Steinberg Nuendo as an audio post DAW, I do love working with Pro Tools when it's required for jobs. Editing audio is a dream, but the interface and signal flow can be a little obtuse. But it pays to know Pro Tools.
PROSPro Tools offers some of the best audio editing features on the planet. The way the cursor works as an edit tool and the playhead is the best in class, and the fast, response editing tools are hard to beat!
CONSPro Tools has been extremely slow to adopt newer features into its engine. Full plugin delay compensation was only implemented a few years ago (Nuendo had this in 2001!), and Pro Tools is starting to feel like a dinosaur. The expensive subscription model is becoming indefensible as well.
Reason for choosing Pro Tools
Pro Tools is the industry standard.

Pro Tools HD OMNI
Satisfactory since 2014
PROSI've been using Pro tools since 2010 and since then it improved by a great margin.. and by 2014 I had the most satisfaction out of it when I bought the Pro Tools HD OMNI and integrated it into my studio. that made a great difference in quality, stability and flow of work.
CONSTo have superior performance you should switch to IOS ( which I did).
Reasons for switching to Pro Tools
Wasn't having the professional feel from the Cubase final result.. I had to use many other softwares for mastering and mixing to get satisfied

Pro Tools, the standard for sound mixing
Pro Tools, is that daw you need if you want to be on par with the musical elite. Years of experience confirm the quality and value that Pro Tools has to offer to any sound artist, whether musician, audio engineer among many other jobs focused on the development of sound projects. This is more than a daw, as it allows the implementation of physical hardware and analog equipment for the development of our projects, years go by and it seems that this daw will never lose the crown as the king of the industry.
CONSPro Tools, is that software too elitist, from the fact of blocking the implementation of third party plugins we can notice that pro tools don't try to be for anyone, the target audience of this daw is one that previously had a great journey in the sound field, although this isn't really bad, Pro Tools wants to be that software that would use your experienced self of the future, and not the current you who doesn't even know how to use a compressor.

Pro Tools: The Pro Industry Standard is Stable and Reliable but is Often Difficult to Use
Pro Tools felt fully-featured and often takes me back to the early days of digital audio recording. It's fiercely old-school, analog-mixer-influenced layout and workflow felt like a blessing and a curse: the complexity of routing kept me a bit more "honest" and kept my mixes smaller, but it also lead to slowdowns and frustrations when trying to accomplish simple tasks sometimes.
PROSPro Tools's layout is easy on the eyes, with quick access to inserts and sends on the tracks in the Edit Window. The Mix Window shows all the faders and panners you need. Pro Tools is rock-solid performance-wise and many tests have proven it to be the most accurate DAW as far as its math engine goes. Its included plugins are among the best in the industry.
CONSPro Tools shows is one of the earliest DAWs and it really feels like it often when trying to do simple mixing/organising actions. Things like creating group and FX busses require multiple steps that most modern DAWs accomplish with a simple right-click. Solo'ing is frustrating, with the need to "solo-safe" grouped tracks, or even add a VCA fader to groups, just to be able to solo groups or individual tracks the way one would expect from a mixing console.

The most powerful DAW for all professionals
Thanks to Protools, I can record, mix, master my tracks with the guarantee of a fast workflow, and of unquestionable quality, especially with the avid hardware equipment which makes Protools even more efficient. Everything is optimized to guarantee an impeccable workflow.
PROSThe point that I really like in this software is the ability to activate "Heat" mixing improves mixing quality by giving the mixing system an indefinable color and warmth, much like earlier analog consoles. it's just amazing.
CONSWhat for me is a problem in protools is that it is very focused on professionals, because of its price and its configuration, which means that it is not for everyone. Making it more accessible would be a big plus for Avid.

Otro de los grandes DAWs para iniciar tu producción musical
Puede ser junto a Live, FL y Logic uno de los DAWs más usados para la producción musica. Su interfaz se me asemeja bastante a Adobe Audition lo que facilita en gran parte su manejo. Su calidad de sonido de los plugins es muy buena.
CONSNo tiene tanta comunidad detrás como otros softwares de la competencia.

Pro Tools u otro DAW? No sabría decirlo aún
La mezcla y los comandos con teclado en Windows 11 son excelentes Una experiencia única que me gustaría seguir disfrutando La integración nativa con Melodyne me enloquece, mezclar voces e instrumentos en el pitch qué tal vez alguien que no está muy adentrado en la teoría musical o es principiante en la música Pro Tools lo hace posible.
CONSVengo de Ableton Live 11Podría decir qué tal vez la integración de VST3?No hay mucha crítica al respecto Tal vez me gustaría poder armar un proyecto sin tener que exponer tanto que es lo que quiero hacer desde un primer lugar Haría que la creatividad de lo espontáneo que es el Abrir el programaSeleccionar lo que quiero Borrar o quitar Todo eso, sin plantillas , sin nombres previos, sin nada predefinido Eso convertiría a Pro Tools en el rey

David's Pro Tools Review
Protools is a great software, very unlikely to rush and has a smooth work flow. It is the best DAW I have ever used in terms of mastering and mixing.
PROSProtools is an industry standard and as so has been developed over the years, one of the benefits of this is that it is more stable than it has ever been making it very unlikely to crash saving producers time and making work very efficient.
CONSVST integration is still a difficult process in protools making some of peoples favorite plugins not work in Protools. The interface looks outdated as it looks the same as the old Protools.

Pro Tools for Piano Recording
I've used Pro Tools to record and edit audio tracks and CDs of my music, and it is the best software for this purpose.
PROSThis software is amazing! I have used it to record piano via midi, as well as voice, guitar, and violin through a microphone. I have mine set up for dual recording, so I can record two instruments at once. It is great for duets. The sound is crystal clear, and the interface for editing the music after recording is very thorough with many options to work with.
CONSThe only downside with this software is that it takes a bit of time to learn how to use, but I don't know if I'd really call that a downside. There are so many options, it can feel a little overwhelming to start, but once I got the hang of it, I was very grateful for all the many options. There are several YouTube videos explaining different functionalities, which I found helpful while learning.

Handy!
One stop shop for almost everything. It doesn't substitute your hardware Pultec, but do you really need that? You can do more than plenty with basic tools..
PROSQuick, easy, does anything you might reasonably want to, and does that for a budget too.
CONSIt doesn't go as deep into some features(recording, effects, conversion..) as more niche software and hardware, but you can't really complain.

PROSI like how they make it easy to use other companies products inside their own. They are the industry leader in using and promoting plug ins.
CONSIt is expensive and you don't get anywhere near the factory choices as Logiclet alone an affordable license that leasts for years.
