Well....I have a Home studio Business
Sterling Sound Studios and I use Pro tools.I just got into Pro tools about a year ago.A good friend of mine is a producer who has done Papa Roach,Cake,Will I am and many other platinum selling artist.When I was changing recording formats he suggested Pro tools and a Mac.I have a client in my studio now who has the pro tools Mbox set up.He likes it and it's cool because of the session files.He can take home the session files and play around with some ideas and bring em back to me for further work.If I was just getting into recording I would pick Pro tools because of It's compatibility with other studios.The sound quality Must be pretty good or why would All the major studios use it.There are many systems to choose from and nowdays and they are all very capable of putting out radio ready material.It's just a matter of choice and preference.I have a friend of mine (The guitarist)in my cover band who has cakewalk and he argues all the time with me over the Pro tools VS Cakewalk issue.He forgets I have lisened to his recordings LOL....Anyway good luck with your choice.
