Yeah, after a short evaluation of PT11, I've decided to add it to my current tools.  It's got a nice Organ plugin as well as several other instrument plugins that are very nice.  My Toontrack products are all ported to AAX and they were picked up by PT11 immediately and were accessible.  My Wave plugins required a repair install to add the AAX Waveshell and that was fairly painless.

My UAD-2 and my Slate Digital plugins have not been updated as of yet but both companies indicate that they are heading that way.

PT11 doesn't seem to be so convoluted as it was the first time I looked at it and rejected it.  It seems like they still force you to do things a particular way though.   One way in and one way out sort of thing, I would describe it.  It's reminds me of when I was learning to program in Cobol after more or less teaching myself how to write spaghetti code in Quickbasic.  Forced discipline is always a pain to us creative types.
 
The Eleven Rack appears to be a nice amp simulator.   I have a Pod HD500 and I'd like to sell that and get back some floor space.  

I may use it a lot or I may use it only when a client project requires it.  Looks like a good purchase for me.

 
Lol Cobol ....hard to live a normal life after ......years of Cobol , C++ , ADa , Java , Sql , Versant ect ....had me work full time in Music !!  lol ....you're comparing PT to cobol .....i'm now officially scared !!!

Great analogy! I am having a hard time with it but am getting it. I had Pro Tools when it was first released for Windows OS. It was bad like a bad game port so I dropped it. PT10/11 still does not seem on par with the X2 GUI nor how well X2 it works with Windows OS. Trying to like it, I have to remember the reason for wanting it.
 
Getting used to some things is tough. No floating windows on a dual monitor setup is big for me. Their method for dual setup really sucks. My guess is they don't invest as much time/money on getting it to work with Windows as much as they do for MAC OS. Still seems a bit clunky and after all those years I expected more. And what's with the very minimum usage of the right click. Things taking longer or is it me?
 
At least I was able to import a Sonar song to OMF. Working on that now. That is the goal for now, to send X2 songs to a PT Pro friend to mix for me.

Sorry for dredging this thread up, but this is an appropriate place to tack this on...

I have had quite a few issues with Sonar X2 and was not able to get tech support to resolve them. There are other users that have same issues with X2 along with very strange graphic anomalies...

I used to see weird graphic anomalies in Sonar X2 too.  But after recently updating my graphic card drivers these problems now seem to have gone.

"For that reason, I would expect Pro Tools to have a future, perhaps as an acquisition. But some sort of business change seems coming at Avid the company. For loyal Pro Tools users, that change might be welcome sooner than later."
 
Maybe Roland would be interested?? ;)

All that matters to me is that since Nov. 17th, PT11 has been my goto audio sequence software.  

I've got one particular client that works in SONAR and I'm happy to accommodate him.  I've got projects in Studio One and I pre-master my PT mixes in Samplitude Pro-X.  Haha, I guess I'm all over the place.
 
But when I open a new project, I open Pro Tools 11 for tracking and go to PT 10 for mixing because my UAD 2 plugins and some of my Slate plugins haven't been ported to AAX yet.  I'm getting more and more comfortable with the key combinations and when you start learning those, you can move pretty quickly.

I love the look of the console and how it works with my three monitors.

Just for the record, I have Sonar X2 and had the graphical problems very badly - in fact so badly it was difficult to use the program, so I went back to X1.
Now have X3 - computer / operating system / video drivers etc all the same and everything is now rock solid - I think X3 is the best Sonar version so far and I absolutely love it.

Dave your post sums up a tendency is see more and more (experienced that with my students) : no more one only daw users around (exept me and few hardcore ones lol) ....but unlike you  alot don't know when to use one instead another ....(resolution /summing engine, PDC ect ...)

You will not like it, this is personal opinion: I should not have bought Pro-Tools and look for cheaper audio interfaces, though I like my interface. If I knew that upgrade to PT 9 will require 500$.... PT 10 another 500$ and so on. And my CPU could not handle medium project. I use another DAW. My bad, should've checked demo program. So I said Bye! for an unknown amount of time. And no PT 9 +etc. for me.

Since I do not do this for a living I do not have the time to invest as students and Pro's do.
 
But I do agree with you Zo.
 
I find myself going back to X3 which I did a new install on and other than issues with CLSID's things are much better than X2. I now have 4 HDD's...2  for 2 different daws, 1 for games :) and one for storage.
 
I don't go to Pro Tools that much but every once in awhile. I wish I had more time to learn it. I really thought it would have been easier.
