Okay, so we decided we needed a better interface than the TC Electronic Konnekt 6, and decided to all pitch in for a Digi 003 rack+ factory. I am very happy with the interface's performance.
Protools on the other hand...
Upgraded to Protools 8 with their offer and right off of the start, we've had problems. Not a huge fan of the layout, it seems very inefficient compared to what we were using before: Cubase LE4.
Essentially, the only reason we're using Protools is for, well, Reason. Cubase LE4 does not support ReWiring Reason in slave mode. For a $100 upgrade, though, I can get Cubase 4 home essentials which is a considerate step up with ReWire support.
Am I not giving Protools a chance or am I right in my belief that Cubase, as far as music production is concerned, is way more efficient and runs more smoothly?
I'm also running ProTools on Windows XP, which I think Steinberg spent a little more time getting Cubase to work with Windows than ProTools did. Cubase hasn't crashed on me yet. ProTools, the industry standard, has.
