Hmmmm, Once again, I'll recommend one of 2 things;
1-buy the "real" version of Pro Tools so you don't keep smashing your head against the wall over things PTF doesn't do. Or.....
2-use a different DAW. If you want to spend nothing, or nearly nothing, Audacity(free), Reaper(cheap) and Cakewalk by Bandcamp(formerly known as Sonar), also free. Audacity is not really a music production DAW, but is fine for podcasting. The other two programs are highly capable(they do pretty much anything Pro Tools does, but they just aren't Pro Tools(much like Logic Pro, CuBase, Studio One, Ableton Live and several others). At the end of the day, most any of these programs can do pretty much anything you will ever need
It mostly comes down to whether you really need "Pro Tools" vs "an audio recording program that can do all kinds of music"
