Some times I wonder if these guys are doing real music instead of counting tracks, there is nothing than can even touch protools, Paris is going to incorporate midi in the next version as well, but no matter what they do it will still be another one of those in my books, they can not and will never reach the elegance of protools, Digi has done a great job with protools 5 and Protools for post, now you can even deal with midi like audio in protools , I don't even care if Brain can achieve 1000 track counts with his system from hell at the end its the software that counts........
