Re: 5.0 first impressions
Haven't had the time to really get into PT5.0 yet, but Mike makes a good point-Why are changes being made to the user interface which only makes the system harder and more cumbersome to use? It seems that Digi software engineers have been on this track for a number of years (ever since PT 3.2,which had the most elegant interface,IM-ever-so-humble-O).
Case in point-why was the finger changed to the ole'nasty finger in the hand tool? Did anyone request this? Some software engineer having a good time? Seems to have stuck, though. Also, extra menus like the one warning you that the region name you have typed has too many characters just require you to make another keystroke, when the simple alert sound worked just fine. (This one was answered that new users might be confused-well fine, they are probably confused for a little while anyway, but don't need to pay for their confusion forever after).
I predict that such suggestions to streamline will fall on deaf ears now just as they have in the past...
Bob
