Hi there TPFKAJ you don't have a symbol, do you

No.

In Logic, when tracking, I open mutliple instances of the same track before recording, and add more tracks if I need more takes. Then I edit a comp track and move all the regions to one single track, before deleting the others (this is done with one key-command). Any fine tuning will be done on the comp track. How would that be more straight-forward in PT?

PT uses a playlist system whereby I can use a single key command to create a new audio track, record on it, and then playlist it so that it renames itself from Kick to Kick.01 and then Kick.02 etc allowing me to record passes over the top which I can then flick between. It makes it very easy to comp because you end up comping on the same track as you've worked on. The list of files is also visible in the main window without the pointless waveform drawing which takes up so much space on a large session.

In addition to that there are a multitude of key commands and editing tricks in PT that logic just doesn't have which let you move regions around, edit, trim etc very quickly.

A major bugbear is the tab to transient command which is essential for things like sample replacement and quick editing of drums.

There are various things in logic which while not deal breakers are very annoying...the lack of waveform drawing while recording, the waiting after each record pass for overviews to be calculated etc.

The list goes on but the only way to really show you would be to 'show you'

In my studio I have a Mackie Control Universal, two XTs and a C4, so most of these operations are really made easy by the hardware: for grouping, press the "group" button, select the tracks and it's done.
I've had a MCU since I first started so I have no idea what it would be like without a control surface. With the MCU it's really straigth also creating a basic mix balance; I occasionally do some hands on automation, but since that adds enormous quantities of data, I find it easier to use the mouse for that. I started working as a sound engineer in the days of tape, so a mixer, even though it's not a "real" mixer is essential for my workflow.
My audio interface is a MOTU 828 mkII: thanks to CueMix latency has never been an issue (except for soft-synths... THAT is a bugger!).
Another invaluable asset for me is a bluetooth Logic keyboard, with colour-coded shortcuts. Perhaps my impression that Logic works really well for tracking and mixing (programming is something I do very seldom) is due to the fact that I've always used some additional hardware together with Logic...

It seems to me that you have a setup that you're up and working with. I'd crack on with that. Logic is a good system despite the fact that I dont happen to like it! You can certainly get some great results. I would leave Pro Tools until such time as you absolutely can not survive without it.
