Default ProTools for broadcast production Sucks..

Yeah yeah Pro Tools users, once you've spent hours learning PT I'm
sure you can
sit and downsize it to what I want and make it work for this purpose
but
Gimme a break - What the hell do I have to spend hours trying to learn
how
to basically SUBTRACT from view, all of all the nice but unnecessary
features and views and screen displays
blah blah- (for MY purposes) that I have NO USE for, because all I
wanna do is lay down basically a few tracks of V.O. and production
music, and mix it to a mono or stereo master?

You know that PT is NOT a pull-it-out-of-the-box ready-to
use-without-the- manual app.


Funny, for me ProTools is the easiest to use out of all the DAW's I've
looked at. As someone whose comfortable in an analog studio, PT seemed to
me to be the most natural, and I had no trouble getting it up and running,
and hardly ever looked at the manual. Need to change the input? output?
effect? It's on the channel strip. What could be simpler than that?

Cool Edit Pro would be my choice after ProTools, though I mostly use it for
editing individual wav forms and not mixing or multitracking, and therefore
always forget little things like how to select the input on a track, which
is so obvious and easy to do in Pro Tools.

Cool Edit Pro is, I believe, the de-facto audio app for ClearChannel, so
apparently it is good for broadcast.

Also, if you hate all audio apps, why this (insert right word here) at
ProTools? Are you just being controversial?

Sonar and Cubase just confuse me.

Regards,
Mark
