1: doesn't version 8 has them?
2: ditto, and to be actually able to move the notes with keyboard would be nice
3: elastic time
4: file > import > session data
5: you answered this one yourself
6.and custom keyboard commands would be nice... and the scissor tool
1. Not to my knowledge. That would have been an amazing new feature though.
2. yep
3. No that's not what I was talking about. I'm taking about the tool that makes it so you can drag the timeline to make tempo changes compared to the music without stretching any audio. I would want the time warp tool. Here is a link to what I'm talking about:

4. Yeah, sort of but not really the same thing. It would be a lot nicer if it was just an option at the top of the insert list on pro tools. In other words a pulldown that you could save your own insert preset and say you wanted for vocals, it would automatically pull up an eq then compressor then de esser or the like in it's default mode.
5. Yeah like I said, it's a workaround though.
6. Yeah I actually like the scissor tool a little bit better myself.
1: umm... the default pointer tool? only thing it doesn't do is crossfades, but otherwise same functionality applies
2: irrelevant/personal taste and the difference between cubase and protools colour scheme is that
cubase is blue and
protools is gray... and you can customize cubase to be grayscale in colour if it really bothers you that it's blue.
3: ditto
4: this is basically same as 3
5: umm... whats wrong with it? just push the big red R to write and the big green W to turn the automation on.
1. Yeah I guess your right, but the smart tools functions without the need of keyboard shortcuts in conjunction correct? Just depends on where you position it as to what it does. I feel that's a much nicer way to work.
2. I know you can tweak the color scheme, but I like how much darker pro tools looks overall. It just seems easier on the eyes. I have messed with a bunch of the color scheme stuff on cubase and didn't like a lot of it.
3. Yep
4. No I meant groups in reguards to track grouping. For example: If I want to make fader changes for a group of faders in the mix window in cubase, I have to select them and link them then move them how I would like. In pro tools if I only want to move the drum faders I just have to turn that group on and have at it. Seems a much quicker way. Unless you have a better way to do that in cubase? Group tracks together so that volume and automation is linked?
5. No, I'm talking where you can select and area and use the smart tool to lower or raise that entire area. Regular read/write automation is fine (latch, x-over, touch and the like). I was referring to how it can be drawn in.
and Tau and Necron, pfffft, I always thought the original races were enough
