How easy is it to jump from Cubase/Nuendo to Protools?

[Cheap Ego]

I need to learn Protools.. fast. But I'm only really well versed in Nuendo 2, a little Live, some Reason, too.

What's the transition like.. is it pretty much the same principle at work (linear sequencer made up of Audio and MIDI channels), or am I going to have to start with the basics? Any help appresh'd..

what will you be using it for?

 

[Cheap Ego]

It'd be for music writing/production. Not for recording AFAIK.

it operates on similar principles. if you're using it for midi sequencing, you'll probably just be frustrated with it though...

 

[Cheap Ego]

so would you say, it's more of a multi tracker than a sequencer (like the old SAW programs, for example)?

Basically, I need to put a demo together, and submit it as a protools file. So I'm wondering.. would I use PT to do all the complex/creative work like I would Nuendo, or really just use it mainly to layer the audio tracks and mixdown, master, etc..?

yeah i would probably do it all your midi stuff and processing in nuendo and print your tracks and import them into pro tools.
