Any one that you haven't learnt how to use properly! They all offer the same things really, just differing workflows. I guess Pro Tools (HD) has VCAs, which most DAWs don't offer, but other than that they all will do the job of recording and mixing the same.

... the one you talk about, look at the pictures, ask questions about but don't ever get round to using yourself... bit like all gear and techniques really... you only find out by DOING in the context of wider information.

Audio isn't an area for endless theories and comparisons... in my pre-retirement career we had an expression about "analysis paralysis"... you only REALLY learn by getting your hands dirty. For instance, many years ago when I had a very simple mixer I couldn't really understand what "variable Q" was all about. It was only when I got my hands on some gear that allowed you to vary the Q that it all became much clearer and snapped into focus.

Time you took the plunge?
