Pro Tools LE+

[Rock_Artist]

I'm a Pro Tools user for awhile now and keep being a digi-user since my AM3 through my Mbox & 002R (with 001 in the middle).
We've just recently started our project studio for small projects and we use the 002R. but still on some cases those 32tracks aren't enough... They're even not true voices like in TDM.

So as we speak there is still no TRUE solution for mid-size project studio. The gap between TDM system (HD1) and LE system (002 for example) is STILL more than twice to price of an 002 system.

So there are only 2 options in this budget:
1 is to buy older TDM system like PT24 with worse convertors and some RTAS limits.

2 move to ANY other DAW (Logic, Cubase, DP) and override the track limits.


So my thought is -
Why Digidesign cannot offer Pro Tools LE+ version that is iLok based. ok it'll cost something like 500-1000$ but it will enable LE users 3 major features:

1. 64 Voices! or even 48...(no track or "autovice")
2. The option to hook up 2 Digidesign LE Hardware to double your I/Os... (36Tracks with x2 002(r)s).
3. SYNC I/O support! for WC and other better syncing ways...

I'm now stuck with a crippled system while all the other DAWs offer greater track counts. it's hard to be a digiuser.

What's your say?
