Anyone made the switch?

I learned what I know on Logic but I don't do midi so I'm up against an unnecessary learning curve.

Would a switch be recommended?
 
Hmmm... I don't know many folks who have made the switch in THAT direction. Usually its folks leaping from Pro Tools LE to Logic.

Workflow-wise, Pro Tools is pretty straightforward. There are a lot of key commands and mouse-click modifiers that you'll want to learn and that'll take a while... but you'll probably be OK with the interface.

PT LE, at least, is WAY more limited than Logic. :( I'm sure you're read the list of things it CAN'T do. If you're OK with those limits and the limits of the hardware you can use...

Seems like an il-logical switch to me.... :D But I'm happy with Pro Tools for the most part.

Things I like about Pro Tools: clients don't ask me "Is that program as good as Pro Tools? I dunno, man..."

Things I wish Pro Tools could do without me having to spend a fortune:
- Timecode (DV toolkit? $1200? Un-fucking-believable)
- Unlimited tracks (What part of the "pro" did they forget to add to the "tools?")
- More than 18 i/o.
- Offline bounce! (Even though it "renders" way faster than video, anyway.)
- OMF import and export

Those are my thoughts. The question just strikes me as odd because I occasionally think about switching to Logic to get the features I just described. :)

Take care,
Chris
