I am trying to get my head around the Pro Tools software range. I have perused the Digidesign Website but cannot decipher the heirarchy of their range.
We have;
HD 7.4 software
LE 7.4 software
M-Powered 7.4 software
From what I can tell HD is the pro setup and costs in the order of $10,000. Thus it is not an option for my small home studio needs.
Then we have LE and M-Powered. What is the difference? I intuitively thought that M-Powered would be for M-Boxes but I see that the M-Boxes come with LE software. So what is M-Powered and in what circumstances is it used? I thought Pro Tools only worked with Digidesign hardware anyway.
Is Pro Tools LE analagous to Cubase LE, i.e. a rock bottom package for bundling with hardware, it really needs to be upgraded for a quality small home studio?
Is there anything in the Pro Tools product range that sits between the $10,00 HD package and the very cheap LE package? I think that Cubase have Cubase Studio, but I can't see a Pro Tools equivalent to Cubase Studio (i.e. a $300-$400 package).
