You said "I thought they would be a prize".
 
I found it amusing as the discussion was about typos.

On a subconsciousness level I must have done this.

I thought there would be a reprise. Or at least some fries.

I couldn't take it any more, I'm a recovering ediholic so I fixed the spelling in the thread title.
 
At least I don't correct grammar in casual conversations any more. I'm getting better. I hope to be cured someday.

Seems more gooder to me.

just a curiosity question... is Pro Tools the same a Master Track Pro was?
I found my old copy of that last week (1990) and was wondering?
 
Peace!
 

Mixcraft is like Acid Pro but works pritty much out of the box...woop whoop!...but we want toys of all kinds to work right in sub text on X os...when coded for it, that is suppose to run it without issues...That is the base line premise of the promise?...or have i misinterpreted it, the minimum requirements...if over sped specs, cause issues?..the trumpet is, can PT OR OTHER CONTINUALLY MAKE THE CLAIM OF BEING THE INDUSTRY STANDARD...And Yet, no standards are yet set to be one made...As I see it...Yet...if it keeps changing the way it does...and the allowable level of quality of the sounds degrades to 8bit again...Then we should put our hats into retirement....and get a iwatch for 14,000 bing buttons for the years of efforts trying to make the best be the best there is...and depending on preferences of individuals...it all works together, so where one is lacking, the other helps resolve....YING AND YANG OF EQUAlITY...is Balance....If it is too hard to enter a door, or is too expensive to setup, or maintain,...it usually gets left behind due to budget cuts....usually!...can't fire the hat waring bastards, if only one is running the studio...and no one shows up , because they now do it at home...for free!...or close enough to...so the industry needs to change....and I believe it is changing...so no industry standards are in truth a truth...see?...we are the industry!

I started out with Guitar Tracks, and absolutely loved it. I record real acoustic instruments for the most part, but I came to a point where I could see the value of mixing in virtual instrument tracks with my live tracks. If Cakewalk had made a version of GT that supported midi instruments I would have been set for life. And they did. But alas, in GTpro4 audio tracks were limited to 2 discrete simultaneous audio recording inputs. Can't do a drum kit  or a band with that limitation. Enter Sonar.

 
That's almost the same route I took Tom!
 
I began digital recording with Cakewalk's Guitar Tracks 2, shortly followed by GTPro2 and then on to GTPro3.
 
I also bought the 2004 'Pro' version of Music Creator in a vain attempt to learn how to use MIDI, although as I was only recording guitar and bass, and using only audio drum loops in Guitar Tracks, I didn't really get into it at the time.
 
My first dip of the toe into learning MIDI and using softsynths was when I bought Sonar Home Studio 6XL and EZ Drummer. When all's said and done, even if those two wonderful products were the only DAW software I still had, I could happily carry on recording music for as long as I liked.
 
After the disappointment of Home Studio 7, I moved up to SONAR 8 Studio, then Producer and I've bought into the flagship version ever since.
 
I'd never used tape-based recording hardware or multi-tracks before, so when I got GT2 I was blown away by how logical and intuitive the whole process and layout was. I was the proverbial kid in the sweet shop/candy store
 
 

They're attempting to guess their thinking, up there in Boston.

I do not think this should be an very difficult discussion.
 
Software (and even operating systems) are just the tools to get the result you want. Some things are best done in Sonar, others things are better accomplished by using Cubase, Live, Protools, Fruty and so on. I really use several DAW's and several operating systems and do not care exactly what I use as long as I get the results I want to have.
 
Even the best DAW cannot compensate for an lack of creativity or knowledge. There is no "one button super-song creator DAW". It all boils down to get the idea and use the right tools to shape the idea into an touchable/audible/visual result. Even the greatest tools cannot create something that is not there...

I think the suite approach to applications works better than overloading a program with rarely used options. However if you can transfer your work interactively if would certainly improve the workflow overall.
