So I though I give Pro Tools First (that's the new freebie Avid are given away) a quick goosey gander.
Verdict so far.. what a Stanley Steamer!
It crashes more than Live 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 put together.
Some talk about the how live is a little slow starting up... well, with "First" you have gone to sleep! (and this is on an i7 PC)
So would "First" make you change from Live so you can be a pro with Pro Tools (buying version) well "First" is not a great advert. I'll be sticking with Live!
