« Amazing, changed my life! »

The compatibility was fine, all you had to do was buy the Pro Tools for your computer. The manual was kind of confusing with the whole M-Audio story and iLok. I had to look for other resources in the Internet to find out that you had to buy a M-Audio Fast Track or other similar items. The configuration was complicated too and the typical functions were hard to use at first. Overall, to start off Pro Tools, it was very complicated but that's what a very professional program has but the program is full of tools that help you be the greatest at what you are or want to be.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

After setting up Pro Tools, it works perfectly. It brings you optimum performance and sound to your music. Pro Tools is very stable with any system (Windows, Mac OS, etc.) and it never breaks down or fails. The only time it might lag is when your computer has a lot of programs working at the same time, but if you have an extra hard drive, then this problem doesn't exist. I've been using Pro Tools for about a year and it's great and works as well as it did when I bought it new.

OVERALL OPINION

What I like most about it is the tools and instruments it has. It has a great amount of amazing sounds you can use for different types of music. The problem of other programs is that the sounds are very weak and the are very little of them, Pro Tools changes this completely bringing you over 1,000 sounds with different instruments as well as Tools like Compression, EQ, etc to change the sound of your instruments and mix vocals. It's also very easy to mix vocals with all the tools it offers you. What might be a little bit annoying about Pro Tools is how everything is so professionally designed that it might not be very beginner friendly, but if you understand everything about it, it's excellent. The price of the program might be a little bit expensive, but it is the best program out there right now to make music in my opinion, so I'm surprised the program isn't over 600 dollars. The quality of the sound is optimum and very precise. It offers you frequencies of any range and it allows you to be very precise with the count. After, exporting your work to your hard drive as an .mp3 or.aiff, the sound is the best possible, that's why professionals use it. Before buying Pro Tools, I tried GarageBand, which was very, very weak compared to Pro Tools, which changed my whole music experience. You should make the same choice I did and buy Pro Tools for the best performance out there and make your music live.
