No, that is not a question... rather an observation.
I'm a long time ProTools LE hobbyist who started with a DigiOO1 back in v5.3.1. ProTools has come a long way since then though I'm kinda frozen at 6.4cs9. I do have v7.0 and I have upgraded to the DigiOO2 but my Waves bundles have me stuck at v6.4. And I've been out of the scene for the last couple of years to boot.
So, the weather turned grayer here in the PNW and my recent rebuild of my hardrive let me reload my PTLE and an OO1 on my everyday computer. It is amazing how my fingers remember the critical shortcuts.
My "studio" consists of some nice pieces of hardware, which I still prefer over plugins. Lexicon Rocks! ...as I cut my teeth on the LXP-1. My rack includes the MPX-1, G2, R1, 550, LXP-5 and LXP-R1 along with a Masterlink & Presonus 8 mic pre. Somehow I think I might be thinning out the rack through ebay, though. I do monitor through a pair of Mackie HR824's but one has developed an intermittent open in one of the switches. That was the nail in the coffin for doing any real work on my rig.
My instrument of choice is the native american flute. A truly challenging instrument to both capture and process. ProTools does make it much easier to sculpt and carve a tune into something presentable. I also have a serious itch to load up a Reason Rack. I've got the right keyboard so we'll see if I can do some horse trading to get me there.
Anyway, glad you are all still here and hope to contribute from time to time and I know I can count on you to help me.
Peace/Out
