Waht version of PT and what hardware did you
see? It is not hard to use. There is no learning curve to do basic
things. It is so simple that my 6th grade daughter can get around on
the basic functions, helping me do punch-ins.

First, sorry for not proofing my first post for the
redundancy/repetitiveness
of a few concepts in my 'rant' - I have PT LE, version 5.01
incarnations .on a G4; I also prefer OS 9...

It is inherently complex as far as the screen view, TO ME, without a
lot of study on how to create a template.

As mentioned, unless you've worked with simpler and more intuitive
user interfaces such as say, Audicy's - intentionally designed to get
up and
running fast with nominal Manual dependency and an analog style
atmosphere that
prod people used to analog based prod. rooms -- it's difficult to
describe the
difference without a direct comparison to another specific
application.


you are either a complete technophobe or an un-mitigated moron. just
open an empty pro tools session, hit command shift N where it says
create X number of tracks type in 8, hit return and you have an 8 track
mixer. if you want a master fader command shift N again, drop down menu
to stereo, drop down menu to master hit return. configure the I/O's
and save as a template. if you need to add aux's the same thing command
shift N. How freakin hard is that? you must be a complete idiot. my
friends jack russell terrior could do that much. it took me like 1
second to figure that out. pro tools works in just 2 seperate windos it
is without a doubt the simplest computer audio app i've ever dealt
with.
