Quick and easy, except the ugly and manual in English only. No incompatibility issues (the VST is not compatible, but hey it's not a scam or a bug ...). Configuration is a snap.
SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE
I have an AMD Athlon 1.8 (which is about 3 years), with 768 MB RAM (minimum!) And an MBox 2 Mini. I use it with Reason for now, and ca train a little, I must increase my RAM. Otherwise the "hardware-software" is perfectly stable. I have 9ms latency to 128 ... it's good enough for me, but with a better machine I could have better I think.
OVERALL OPINION
I use the PT since I got an MBox 2 Mini, so ago about two weeks. Before I was in Cakewalk Pro Audio 9 ... and of course the difference is incroybale ... but it would with any soft recently. I also have Sonar Home Studio 4, good software, but for about the same price as the PT, the Digidesign wins the round easily.
Pro Tools 7 LE is a little hard to understand (and very ugly manual virtual long) for a beginner, but after two weeks without progress, I'm doing almost perfectly. The interface is simple and convenient, the sound quality is great, the plug-ins are very good. Only the MIDI editing is a bit disappointing. It's crazy to say, but with all these new opportunities (interesting for that matter!), It was difficult to do things that Pro Audio 9 is! But I think with a few days of practice, I could get used to this.
The tracks available are ample for the home studio, I have not yet reached. My only real complaint is the inconsistency with VST and VSTi. Before I get the software, I did not know that inconsistency, and right now, my and my Kompakt Lounge Lizard feel quite alone on my computer! It's not too bad now that there Fxpansion VST to RTAS on, but the good 100 bullets surplus was not expected and is quite annoying.
Otherwise, top, the choice I would do without hesitation, the price / quality ratio is exceptional. I think the phrase that sums it up is this: The Pro Tools version is not an "amateur" an excellent professional sequencer ... is a smaller version. I do not know if you are receiving the difference, but hey, it means that unlike Sonar HS 4, for example, with just over 100E (or dollars at home), you get software in your size, but with power, sound quality and an interface worthy of studio pro.
Good!
