The midi capabilities are a bit challenging compared to DAW's like Logic Pro as Pro Tools is geared more towards tracking live instruments than writing with software instruments. Once you know key commands and your way around the signal flow, it's just as easy as the others from then on. ![]() It's not technically harder, just a bit more confusing to learn. It has a decent learning curve compared to other DAW's. The built in free plugins are also great and worthy of use in real production situations. Detailed editing and comping is the most accurate of any DAW that I've worked with. The recording and especially the editing capabilities are incredible.

For writing and for certain types of production that involve many software instruments, I would work in another DAW but I always prefer Pro Tools for mixing or tracking live instruments or bands. It's the industry standard for tracking and mixing so you'll find that most people are familiar with it which makes collaboration easy.

While there is a well known laundry list of bugs and issues with Pro Tools, to me the pros outweigh the cons. For this reason it's all the features that I would say is my favorite thing about Pro Tools. While it does have a decently high learning curve, it's precisely this features, short cuts and processes that make it such a thorough program that allows the user to take total control of their work. While I won't necessarily say that it's the best DAW for creating music (that is up to your taste and style), I will say that for the processes mentioned above, it continues to be the most thorough and in depth software for audio. If you're new to the profession and reading this review, I'd highly suggest giving it a try and learning at least the basics!
