I'd switch DAWs in a heartbeat if I found one that I liked better.

I own Cubase (it's old though) and Logic, and have tried Reaper (ugh) and Digital Performer but none of them have ever drawn me away. I wish one would sometimes!!

There are elements of both Cubase and Logic that I really like, and bits that I really hate .... they are quite similar to PT in that respect.

But Pro Tools is definitely more intuitive to me, the edit and mix windows as they are are pretty much exactly what I want. It is underlying functionality (or lack of, especially MIDI) that has me grinding my teeth with Pro Tools.

Whereas Cubase is a delight MIDI wise in comparison

And that's the problem, Pro Tools issues are the deeper under the hood stuff, whereas the things I hate about Cubase and Logic are right there in your face, gui related. That's what makes it so hard to transition for peoe that try it.

As for HD, I've decided to sell my 10/11 bundle. I had thought I'd keep it at 11, freeze it there, just in case something amazing and HD only comes up in the future. But I'm beyond that now, and with the cascade down of most of the HD features I used, I see litle point in keeping it.

Better my that HD license goes to someone interested in upgrading to 12 while the cost is only $599, rather than $999.
