The whole point of this is to hopefully make this the forum’s one-stop shop for everything Pro Tools.
And I’ll start it with a request for good tutorials. Because I just downloaded it and I don’t even know where to begin

@Theron I can’t think of anyone that uses Pro Tools around here.
Audacity for simple recording. A lot of Garage Band and Reaper users. There are smattering of others being used also.

Yeah a couple folks using Cakewalk Sonar, a few using Ableton, many using Logic/GB, some using Reaper (yay!), a couple using Studio One, many trying and then growing out of Audacity, etc. This is the first usage of Pro Tools I remember, which is kind of odd due to popularity.
Probably some folks using Steinberg/Cubase too but I don’t remember.

Also piping in to say I’m Logic and GB here. Best of luck.

I started with Audacity, gave Albeton a try (too complicated for my uses), and then grew out of Audacity and settled on Reaper.

I am 11 beers in on today’s pro tools attempt.
I was going to ask some questions too, but after stumbling on your thread and seeing the responses I guess it’s back to trial and error.
I’ve made progress and have found some decent YouTube help.
It is a bit overwhelming, how have you progressed?

I’d encourage you to go ahead and ask your questions here. It’s possible there are ProTools users who haven’t spoken up yet. Can’t hurt to try. I did check the manual and ProTools requires an entire case of beer before it starts to work.
