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.

PROS

Pro 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.

CONS

At 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.

PROS

Very accurate for editing. Best sound processing, all the tools you need to deliver a professional audio media are included in the subscription.

CONS

Requires 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.

PROS

Pro 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!

CONS

Pro 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.
