This is perhaps the most popular DAW in the professional world. For professional mixing and editing, this is the industry standard. A lot of people have a love/hate relationship with Pro Tools.
It’s extremely powerful, letting you knock out complex edits in a matter of seconds.
But it looks clunky and outdated. It’s not a beginner friendly program.
The stock plugins are generally good, but it lacks a stock multiband compressor – this isn’t a huge issue though.
The stock compressor can still be used for sidechain compression and parallel compression.
