Well Said Tony!!!

Back to the original subject, I got Charles fixed up and he should be recording soon. I'm wanting to hear his guitar "it was mine at one time" Hope he gets it figured out.

+1 Me too. Too set with Logic at the time I suppose, but Cubase was nowhere near as user friendly for me as Pro Tools has been.

I bought a couple of good reference books on Pro Tools, and they have been invaluable in kick starting my experience with Pro Tools.

I'm pretty much in agreement with Tony on Pro Tools. I have much less experience with other DAW platforms, but most studios around here use PT and almost all the file swapping and remote tracking I have to do goes back into PT at another studio.
For anyone exploring PT I would seriously recommend study with John Keane's "Pro Tools for Musicians" course book. He takes the reader through very well designed imaginary sessions that include many of the things you will have to do in the real world, like build separate headphone mixes, import tracks, edit timing errors, etc., and little that you won't need that seems to fill up many of the other tutorials. Great training.

I have to echo Mark's comments on the John Keane book, "The Musician's Guide to ProTools." Version 2 is worth every penny. Just take the time to go thru it cover to cover, and you'll end up with so many practical methods, that would be very difficult to discover on your own with the PT Manual.
