Justin,

Don't get me wrong, I don't hate Pro Tools (well... maybe just a little ) but my point is: at this stage in the game, most of the DAW software out there is pro if pro's use it. Yes, Pro-Tools might be the most popular, but that doesn't mean its the best. We use RADAR to track because its bullet-proof, sounds better than ProTools (that I will argue to the end) and acts like an old fashioned tape deck (being the ancient dinosaur that I am). When I am working with clients who like to work fast, RADAR is unbeatable. Of course, no plug ins, no drag and drop editing, etc. makes it necessary for me to have at least one other DAW. They use Logic (which rocks) and I use DP (which I love). We wind up on RADAR to mix because I don't like the sound of mixing inside a computer (something else we can argue about later ) - I like RADAR's D to A's into a Neve or API console. No ****ty Pro Tools summing busses for me.

And, of course, it all starts with a great song....
