My only jump in to this great thread, is that if a lot of you are jumping from Pro tools to Reaper, how do you deliver to people who are working down the line and want PT sessions?

I would like to use Reaper as its quicker and faster, but most Television industry, have no clue what Reaper is. Would I still need PT as an 'end of line' compiler to send out finished cues?
Or do composers/sound designers actually use Reaper and get compatibility with PT?

Just a genuine question before I jump into the Avid waters

I'm a little bit late to the party. I have PT 10 and 11 but Reaper is my DAW. So much easier to use, never crashes etc. Not to mention that downloading an installing an upgrade takes less than 1 minute (ha! not kidding). But I do advise to keep PT because for delivering sessions to most pro users PT is still the standard.

So I can create a soundtrack with VSTs etc. etc. but I'd deliver a PT session, nicely labeled and organized, with comments, etc. There's a great program called AA Translator in case you need convert Reaper sessions to PT session or vice versa.
