This guy i work with won shut the F*ck up about Pro Tools

[cacti]

being the industry standard. Every time the subject of music get bought up he tries to spew this shit about how great pro tools is and how its the industry standard and he can teach me if i want (oh thanks asshole). But he never can come up with an exact reason why its so much better. What can i tell this noob to get him to stfu?

[H20nly]

standards are meant to be broken... sit down, shut up and watch me make history.

[kb420]

Just ask him how many other programs has he sat down and really worked with.

[OvertoneZero]

punch him in the mouth

[Android Bishop]

every consider the possibility that HE's right and YOU'RE wrong?

well thats why im asking what so great about pro tools?

[H20nly]

whats so great about your favorite color?

why is it better than mine?






get what I'm saying? you can't win. his mind is made up and he should be telling you whats so bad about Live. After all his app has a position to defend and you like yours.

You bought Live right? so you like it better. its up to him to prove that you don't like it better.

The punch him in the mouth suggestion may work if he seriously won't stfu. he probably swears that chevys or fords or some such is the best too. no one can prove that shit. which industry standard? times change and so does software.

don't tell him anything. he's just harping and spewing what he read in an article or an advert. make tracks. let him make the ass.

Tell him yes, that would be great and maybe you could go and get some dinner afterwards, then wink and stare at his lunchbox.

yep, stop feeding him, simple as that. unless he pulls the trigger on you, if you try to ignore him.
which you probably deserve anyway not accepting the industry standard.

not really argueing im just like 'yea i like ableton better im just more confortable with it' and then he'll say something like 'yea but pro tools is the industry standard, and i worked on a track that was on the top 40 so.." or something idiotic like that. lol its pretty funny the guy thinks he gods gift to the recording industry cuz he interned at a big time studio in miami, but doesnt know shit about music

[SubFunk]

^^^ why do you bother then?

[channelite]

Ask that guy if Pro Tools is such a great app, why can't it run on non digidesign hardware or no harware? It sucks that I need my MBox 2 to open old Pro Tools files. Digidesign is just greedy.

It sounds to me like he does know something about music and you're just being defensive.

[Bleep Blop Ima Robot]

just smile and nod...then pwrn him with your own music with live
