I have some basic questions for any Pro Tools user.
First of all, I'm a songwriter in Nashville and I'm curious about upgrading to a protools setup. 1. Why choose a Mac instead of a PC? 2. Besides the Protools software, can someone list what all I need? I can't seem to find any complete information on what to buy. And some general price estimates would be great. I'm interested in the HD recording and not simply recording it to the computer's drive I probably sound like an idiot, thats because im pretty new to this. Anyone that could help and be a reference or a guide would be greatly appreciated -------------------- Jesse

Hey Guys I use PTHD, and really don't mind the criticism at all Digi are definitely into getting your hard earned cash but I do like their systems I just don't like the cash bit.
In reality what I want is their hardware then I can use something usefull with it like Logic (Who I hope keep to their previoius standards now Apple has em). I guess it has been a rough year with PTHD and waiting for a zillion plug in and application updates only to have to shell out even more bread as OS X becomes practical ( Ithink it is going to be practical that is, at least I sure hope it is), maybe once I can fially use both my CPU's to their full capacity I will switch to something native as well.
