if you're a midi guy who makes shitty EDM, sure. S1 has had some awful bugs that would literally lose recordings or crash everytime you bounced. PT may have been slower to adopt SOME things like folders and freezing but when they did it, they did it in the best way possible, fastest and most reliable. It's as fast if not faster than all those clever drag/drop short cuts in S1 for example, but by using even faster key modifiers, and bypassing, do to all, do to selected, the way the timeline cursors work, the solidity of takes (you'll never get any dropouts/crackles in a PT take as it'll stop and warn you - vs the hundreds of ruined takes in the past in Nuendo, Cubase, S1 and others many suffered). Most people who put PT down have either never used it or have an axe to grind with Avid. Also, get back to me when you find any other DAW that you can hook up a (once) 25k world class controller too like the 24 fader ICON D-Command, which you can now pick up for less than £2k, vs all those other 'big mouse' useless 8 fader bank controllers for everything else.

you know what they are, all toys or nerd projects. You can cry all you like about your pretty toy DAWs being better because they have 10000 features (gimmicks) but the fact is they ALL suck in certain areas - cubase = bloated, logic = terrible to mix/edit with, studio one = garish/convoluted (multipane to see inserts instead of PT's one big overview screen which is hand's down the best and clearest way to mix), I can't even bring myself to mention the rest or take them seriously. Nothing works as well for recording/editing/mixing. I've used them all and gone back to PT HD (ultimate). Quote by DashSlapActually Pro Tools is the BEST DAW for what a DAW is meant to do.
