people use what they're comfortable with. pt is not the only game in town, (i live in la) and the rationalizations for spending that kind of $$ on that system are getting weaker and weaker. omf works for the track transfers - no the plugs don't come with to a different system, that's uneccesary for editing or tracking.
let's see, a dp system and 3 weeks in Hawaii or pt? i can hear the eukeleli's now!! wait - i can even RECORD them on my powerbook with dp!!!
mahalo!
