I am planning on upgrading my home system with either Pro-tools or Logic but I want to know what the best option is. (Yeah, I mean value for money!)

I know you can get Pro-tools with an Audio Interface called Mbox for around £350... Logic is way more money but is it worth the extra cash?

Greetings Angryman,

Having used both - or rather, having paid for both. As much as I love ProTools I think Logic is better value for money - although it depends what you're trying to do.
With ProTools you have to buy an Mbox at the very least and then the software itself - after that - any plug-in is really expensive. A lot of the ProTools plug-ins cost as much as Logic to buy.

As for Logic - it will use nearly any hardware and once you've bought the software, there really is nothing else to buy - if you do decide to increase your plug-in collection - it's just audio units and they are reasonably priced.

This whole picture may change now that Digidesign have bought M-Audio. It was that way round wasn't it? Imagine - ProTools running on an AudioPhile card! Heh heh.

Anyway - not the answer you probably wanted - but heigh ho.

Cheers

PT
