I mainly use Cakewalk by BandLab (Sonar Platinum) with Studio One 3 as my secondary DAW; (although Studio One's obsession with everything EDM to the virtual exclusion of everything ese has put me off moving to version 4.) I write and record my own songs as a hobby so I don't need share stems, etc. I use MIDI a lot and SampleTank and Halion Sonic for instrument sounds. For drums I mainly use Addictive Drums. Plugins: TRacks5, Ozone8, FabFilter and some others.
I was thinking of giving Pro Tools a try and wondered if I could get some advice. What would it give me that I don't have in CWbBL? Is it only widely used in pro studios because 'everyone else uses it' or are their compelling reasons for it being better than other DAWs? Would I be able to use all my existing plugins? Rummaging on the internet I see strange things like users having to use Rewire for their VSTs!
Many thanks.
