Beg to differ strongly.  I WAS one of those people(PTLE and M-Powered, still

ahve the box around here somewhere), and even though I am now using Ardour,

and have been for QUITE some time, I STILL have thousands of dollars in

plugins, and it is still a major stumbling block for going back to Linux

full time as in many cases there aren't acceptable equivalents(Real Time

noise reduction is the main one I harp on, but heck, just getting some the

are equal to TrackPlug would be a heck of a step).  Just because someone is

on PTLE doesn't mean that they aren't investing money in plugins and doing

serious work.

In many cases I could even say that there is a larger problem than just

harping on capabilities.  One of the major selling points of PT in

general(Compared to even Logic, DP, CuBase, etc.) is the fact you can go

into just about any studio in the world and it is there.  Record a few

tracks in your garage, take it to a studio to flesh out and mixdown, works

perfect for many people, and I know many people that have this exact

workflow.  AATranslator is a great tool in this regards from what I have

heard but is both closed source and Windows only, so it is very limiting at

the same time.  Nothing against those folks, I am immensly glad they came

out with such a tool.

Are you looking to compare only the built in PT plugins, or are you looking

to compare all the plugins that CAN be run in PT, which is a heck of a list

obviously as I am sure you know.
