- pre roll can‘t be set to only apply when recording
- press record enable only possible while stopped
- virtual instruments only playable when record enable is pressed.

Every DAW is good at stuff, and maybe not so good at others. Using 2 in conjunction to get the job done is not a terrible thing.

You can copy sends nowadays in Logic Pro X 10.3 and higher.

I just wish that Instrument tracks would reliably recall their MIDI assignments. So tedious to realize sounds are missing and have to track down those greyed out boxes. It's a basic function that's been broken for a long time now, at least on Windows.

Really? How? Option-clicking still just turns the slot on and off here. (Wrong forum, I know )

Same on Mac.

And Reaper. I'm sure there are others.

I think a lot of the people saying this have never used Pro Tools and are parroting things that their audio school professors said, who, in turn, likely worked as studio assistants in the 90s and early 00s using Pro Tools 7, back when the midi really did suck.

I actually PREFER the midi implementation in Pro Tools to logic. I think if people were to actually give it an open minded chance, they'd be very surprised.

Wow! I thought I was the only one who felt this way. I use Pro Tools MIDI day in and day out and I get the job done happily.

Someone may have already responded to this, but this is more easily fixed by showing your instrument view and re-routing the MIDI output back to the instrument plug-in on the track.

This is an annoying bug that I hope is addressed soon.

Sorry for the dumb question, but in what areas is PT lacking MIDI-wise?

I've never used another daw and with the latest updates I haven't felt the need for additional features.

Maybe the ability to customize the shortcuts would be a good way to improve the workflow, but I've been using custom mouse scripts for that.
