I can export from radar to the computer via FTP faster than PT can consolidate and save.
I can't blame ya!
I use ProTools for one reason, and one reason only:
I've used it so F*ing much, that I don't even see the screen anymore!
I don't think about what I'm doing for a second. I can see every menu with my eyes closed, and I can go for hours without touching the mouse, other than to jump around on the timeline or change I/O. When I'm working completely in a DAW instead of on a console, that really frees me up to
listen instead of look , think, or worry.
For me, it's worth it to keep on using the system I'm so familiar with. 90% of studios that welcome freelancers have PT, so I never have to worry about it. I know it inside and out. They got me! They really friggin got me, and now there's nothing I can do about it now.
SO here I am. I use ProTools for all digital sessions.
There's going back now!
