  1. Andre, enjoyed the write-up about Pro Tools 11. Pro Tools as a DAW, well it’s pretty much the industry standard. The question about Pro Tools for music production, totally agree with the answer being ‘yes’ in regards to Pro Tools being used effectively for music production. I use it myself, as well as other musicians and artists that have come to my studio to record and produce. The fact that I use Pro Tools as my primary recording DAW and they used it for their music production made things go much easier and quite smoothly. I’ve also used it for live music applications for church services. It works great.
