so, i've decided that its time to stop recording on cyclinders, as an experiment. i have the legal cubase thing that they give out free with pencils, though i'm tempted to build on protools instead, except i need to know some things.
a few questions:
1. which of the above (or others i didnt think of) is the most cross compatible with other studio daw's?? i.e. can protools open cubase projects or vice verso??
2. which daw is most compatible with interfaces??? from the digidesign website it seems to imply that they want you to only use M-box products for protools. are these devices generic, i.e. will an m-box work with cubase/logic/other, will stuff from manufacturers like zoom (specifically the hd 16) which is bundled with cubase work with protools and logic or is it completely proprietary? same question about the rme fireface, and basically all interfaces.
3. not as relevant to the title. i want a rack mount patch bay for xlr's. do they exist? it only needs 8-16 strips.
