PT for everything about audio editing the fastest software on earth, cubase sx for evertything about midi.
It's impossible to beat cubase sx on midi stuff.

I'm currently tracking and editing in protools + MPTK (because of multitrack beatdetective etc) and mixing in cubase sx3 (because of auto delay compensation, freeze & it works beter with my uad-1 & TC-PC)
it works for me as i'm getting the best of both worlds...... and totally recomend it
one weird thing is that raw drumtracks always seem to sound punchier in protools.... must be something to do with the DAE...now all PT le/M-powered needs is auto delay compensaton and freeze!!!!
Getting used to Protools was a bit tricky tho as i was really set in my ways in SX but found some REALLY good tutorials @ www.grooveboxmusic.com a month only cost $29 and it had everything you need!

Hi!
I am using PT and Cubase SX. Like it has been said before, PT is not as good as Cubase with midi stuff, but the other way round PT sounds much better. I don't like the plugins that come with Cubase, espacially the EQs and the Dynamics, the Dynamics and EQ's in PT sound more "analog" to me.
If you want to do a lot of (drum-) programming and midi, go for Cubase. If you only want to record real audio and do a lot of edits, then i'd go for PT.
...since we're on PC: I never had any serious problems by using PT on my PC!

Sonar PE5 here. Been working with it since v2 and it does the job. I recently tooled around with Cubase SX on a friends system before picking up V5 of Sonar, but I didn't find it any better/worse than Sonar. My decision to stay with Sonar came down to the interface I liked the most....little things in Cubase bugged me with the views, so I stuck with Sonar.
Having read various articles in mags and online it seems the consensus view is that PT isn't worth the bother unless you're using going the route of dedicated hardware and the HD version. Any truth in that?

Sonar 5PE user here. Been a cakewalk user since version 5.0! I was asked to test it during my software applications testing days. Not sure why I kept using the product because their customer service has been rude to me every time I've called.
Regardless, I am so comfortable with the interface that I would hate switching.

Pro Tools is by no means the best software out there but it is ubiquotous and easy to use and behaves in a very similar fashion to hardware options. For music it is great, but for post production I would go with Nuendo. However I do have to admit that M-powered and LE systems are not where the greatness of a tools system is. HD systems are great but as a host based system LE is not a pro solution. Logic or Nuendo run far better on smaller systems, but there is a reason why Audio editing is normally done in Pro Tools - it is very very intuative and your work flow can be very very fast.

Sorry, Im another logic user and love it. Also find the editing really easy. but agree that the environment part is quite a pain

Yeah, I agree with ^this^ 100% - from the brief time I've spent with Cubase SX 2 and 3, it felt more like an update than a new version. The changes in Sonar from version to version seems a lot more tangible. Though saying that, from what I've heard about Sonar 6, it's not such a huge improvement this time - though most of the new features I've read about are taken directly from users' requests in the forums.

Not when you compare it to a full-blown Pro Tools HD rig.MKS said:
Besides, you can get the basic version for $300. That's how I got started with it & I just kept upgrading over time. No bullshitting here, my business pretty much doubled when I switched over to Saw.
