What does Protools M-Powered 7 do that Cakewalk HS2 doesn't?

[Doc]

A demo version of Protools M-Powered 7 came with my M-Audio 2496 card,
wondering what if anything it does that Cakewalk Home Studio2 doesn't?

It gets you customers. You can say "I use ProTools" and people will
know (whether they REALLY know) what you mean. If you say "I use
Cakewalk Home Studio" some might say "Why don't you use ProTools?"

If you're working on your own and are getting everything you need from
the Cakewalk you have there's no need to waste your time learning a
new program. But if you collaborate with other musicians, studios, and
producers, ProTools is the dominant program. While it's not impossible
to move a project from one system to another, it's never the same
thing as just opening the project files in a different studio and
having everything right there just as you left it (unless of course
you're using plug-ins that the destination studio doesn't have).

Aside from the Brand recognition that Mr. Rivers speaks of...nothing.
They are both tools. Use what you are comfortable with. Or if a
commercial business use what makes you the most money.

I don't know. The demo version that came with my M-audio FW 410 won't
install on my Vista Premium computer. <g>

Cost more money.

Wow. What a bunch of useless replies. He asks a decent question.
To say it's as simple as client recognition (irrelevant in his case
anyway) or to dismiss with a joke is disrespectful to the person
asking.


First of all, we're talking about Cakewalk Home Studio2 here, not Home
Studio6 or Sonar Home Studio6 XL. IF you don't know exactly what
Cakewalk Home Studio2 is, which is what it sounds like from responses,
why bother answering?

Is the interface more productive and the software more powerful than
PTools M-powered 7 (which I've used perfectly nicely)?


Sheesh.

One only needs to compare feature sets (probably on websites) to see a
list of what each does, and from that, deduce what it doesn't do. He
didn't have to ask that question here (or shouldn't have). Just as
foolish an answer would have been "look on the web sites, dummy."

It depdnds on what you're trying to do and how much you know, or want
to learn.
