another issue between PT LE and DP is that DP 3 and above can do surround mixing and the only ProTools systems that can do surround are the TDM and HD. Its possible to run a multiple channel mix in PT LE but the panners in the mixer are still all just 2-channel, stereo. This means you can pan from L to R or Ls to Rs, but you can't pan from L to Ls (front to back or anywhere in between).
In DP 3 and I assume 4, you have panners that look like a joystick and allow you to pan a mono or stereo track anywhere for true surround panning (including automation). Also, DP has the built in sends and plug-ins necessary to create a real .1 LFE (subwoofer) channel. To do that in PT LE, you'd have to set up your own send/aux and put a low pass filter on it manually. I'm very much into surround (and with the new Alesis 5.1 speaker system, it isn't that expensive to get into it) so even though I essentially like the PT interface better, DP is the only way for me to go. The cost of even a used TDM system with enough DSP power to do surround with plugins is still over $5,000. |
