Editing/Mixing in Pro Tools or Logic

[kanuck]

This isn't another "which is better" thread. Everyone I ask and everywhere I read everyone says that Pro tools stands on top audio wise while Logic does better with midi.

I love ableton and will be using it less as a studio tool and more as an instrument for experimental stuff. So as my studio solution I need something that's more audio based than midi. Therefore, I was more interested in Pro Tools. The thing is, it's really over priced and I love the Logic Studio package and everything that comes with it.

In conclusion, 2 questions:

Is the price for Pro Tools 9 worth the product?
Can you do do anything you do in Pro Tools on Logic? If yes, will it just be slower on Logic? If no, examples?

Thanks.

Get Cubase

not that i have anything against cubase now.. and if forced to I'd relearn it but I have bad memories with cubase.

Just use Live. It's perfectly fit for the purpose.

If you like Logic go with Logic, what can you possibly need to be done that Logic can't do?!
If i was a Mac user i would use Logic, but i use Windows,so it's Samplitude and Live for me.

Don't overlook Presonus Studio One.

I sort of hate logic's interface compared to live. Find it really awkward to arrange stuff. The sound of the included plug-ins makes it irresistible though - space designer alone makes such a difference to mixes brought in from ableton. I find the presets a really good starting point to learn from too - just flicking through them and listening to the differences with an eye on the settings.

I have an mbox and pro tools just in case - was useful for homework whilst at uni. Great for tracking a band when its all hooked up to a proper mixer in a studio. Love the shuffle and grid functions - misusing the drum quantize can bring up fun stuff too - adding swing to found sounds and the like. Quite an uninspiring environment to work with otherwise though.
