The only thing I'm worried about in pro tools anything is the note editor. You can sustain notes and put a lift in notes and nudge them over and stuff as I've seen my teacher do it, but I really don't know how accessible it would be for us to even remotely use it. or at least those of us who play instruments and keyboards and pianos and stuff. Also automation. You might or might not need a control service. the studio I go to for my work has a hybrid mixer that is both a board and control surface. so that helps but for those of us who don't have half a million dollars it will not. *smily*
I love what protools can do and how accessible it might become in the future, but the note editor and automation for me is the key. This is also true in garage band as well. The same access issues arise when it comes to the note editor and automation of things like volume or a reverb or what not. I have sent a detailed bug report to apple for the past few years to no avail, both through the developer website and the accessibility address. If we can all talk to avid and apple and get these things straightened out, then I think we might have something for those of us who are indi artists and have the equipment at home or are engineers and can work with midi with our clients. . Take care.
