Mark,

I absolutely agree with your initial comment. I'm no fan of Avid, PT,
and/or their audio engine.

That said, I have a significant collection of multitrack recordings
coming down the line, and I need to explore all available options
since I've been strictly mono and stereo for nearly a decade. PT is in
the mix simply because I might have to hire an extra hand for this,
and it'd make it easier if I didn't have to train anyone on software.

Jim
