Overall Satisfaction with Avid Pro Tools

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I’m Grammy nominated audio engineer. I use Pro Tools to record, mix and master music that I record with artist. Pro Tools is the industry standard that nearly every studio uses, so even if you don’t use it as your main DAW, it’s in your best interest to learn how to use it.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Easy to navigate
Easy to use plugins
Easy to edit music

Cons

CPU usage
Switching to different sample rates
It needs to restart if it sits unused for too long.

Return on Investment

Great roi
Ease of use
Short learning curve for the basics

Usability

It’s very easy to use it on a basic level. There is a learning curve for advanced stuff, but if you have a need to learn the advanced features and shortcuts then it’s not too hard. Plus, you’re probably using it to make money then anyway, so it all works out.

Alternatives Considered

I’ve used reaper, FL Studio, sonar, cubase, Reason and Sony’s DAW. Pro Tools is better than all of them. And easier to use. Plus it’s easier to share sessions with other people when you use Pro Tools. Pro Tools is just more intuitive for even beginners to use. It’s just better
