Hi Chris, I see where you're coming from and i agree. Maybe it was for the best that i never got PT off the ground and started working with it. It seems that for every new upgrade another small but serious piece of the accessibility is taken away. Too bad, because i'd seriously hope that the Mac would be a viable alternative when it came to doing music at home. Wonder how life would be if i took the Reaper route? It's at least partly accessible on the mac, although meeters and clips and such aren't accessible as far as i know and i wonder how Midi editing is, plus you don't get software synths with it. Oh well... /Krister
