I ran PT on both Windows and Mac and I agree that the Mac experience is better. The biggest downside (this was a couple years ago, not sure about today) is that every time a new update for OSX came out I had to wait until PT supported it, and then I had to download the combo updater instead of using the auto update feature or it would break PT.
On the front of sticking with one platform: I agree with that also because if you're like me, you have plug-ins, and not all plug-ins can go with all platforms. With Pro Tools, you can be pretty confident that you'll have access to the best plug-ins going forward, as well as retain the ability to go back to old session files and keep all of your existing plug-ins.
Hi,
I usually am behind on my Mac OS updates by two versions.
"If it ain't broke..."
And yes, once you know a platforms, then you can get on with the business of music making, and not DAW learning curve hell.
ProTools may not be the prettiest, nor have a million bells and whistles, but...
IT WORKS. I only ever get crashes when I get a new plug in... which is a couple of times a year. And this usually gets resolved quickly by the plug in company.
It does NOT distract with unnecessary features.
It has a good support group and tech support, at least for the HD version, which is excellent.
Cheers
Howling at the neighbors. Hoping they have more mic cables.
