Hi Ashley, Welcome to the list. If you've used Pro Tools in the past, you'll have an easier time reacquainting yourself with it. There was quite an accessibility gap between version 5 and version 8.0.4. I'm not sure that 11 Rack is all that accessible given that there's apparently a software interface required for some of its features. I know that Avid is aware of this and, in all likelihood, it'll be addressed in time. This is an interesting time for Avid for many reasons, not the least of which is the transition toward new product lines and platforms. It makes the process of investing in interfaces/control surfaces an exercise in option paralysis.

Anyway, hopefully others' experiences can help you make the right choice for your circumstances.
