just for ya information. Pro Tools is used by most professional producers/editors (as in the guys who run studio's, not the dj's) to record/master a commerial recording. Most commercial lps are mastered by Sound Engineers with music degree's, not by the artists. The artists or the artists dj's will use any variety of shit to compose the original beat. like xkwest said. u just gotta find what's comfortable for u.
