Re: In what area is Pro Tools REALLY lacking??
I think it's mostly lacking in marketing which has been the case from the very beginning!
First off, it's an audio editor and host for third-party plug-ins. If something can be done with a plug-in, don't hold your breath for Avid to include a feature that competes with their third-party developers.
It can be configured to do almost anything but such flexibility requires more know-how than other DAWs. Avid is also very dedicated to backward compatibility. You won't see many new features added that can't be played using earlier versions and you won't see a new version that can't open old sessions. They understand that we each invest more money in every project with our time than it costs to buy a new DAW.
If you look at the forums for every other DAW, you'll see just as many complaints. DAWs are complicated, demanding software yet we are but a tiny minority of the personal computer market. Depending on what you are doing, Pro tools simply works for a great many people. The same is true of Live and Logic.
