I love it.
Yes I had to Google shortcuts as they came up, but mostly it hasn't been too bad
If Steinberg has what they consider to be good grounds for declining to supply, request a refund of your most recent payment. (If, for example, you have installed their software in to more than one computer, that may breach the terms and conditions of your user license.)
Remember, it's easier to criticise than create!

Reaper is free to try fully unrestricted, pro-tools le is very limited, but does give you an idea how it works.
horses for courses really.
So yeah, chased multiple times. Given plenty of opportunity to resolve but they don’t seem to be interested.
oh if only it were that easy :-)
If you are doing a lot of midi then you will find PT basic compared to Cuba’s (or pretty much anything else).
What types of music are you doing?
Is it predominantly live recording or band tracking, or are you working mostly alone with VI’s.
Are you Mac or PC?

Oh and PC.
There is no drum editor, if you use that in Cubase (many do).
The way Avid (and previously Digidesign) added midi was really clunky- it wasn't efficient (still isn't) and in order to do things that other DAW's do quite easily you have to work around the architecture.
For instance, looping regions/clips PT is a complete pain in the ass.
In most DAW's you just click the end of the loop and drag it to make copies.
In Pro Tools you need to remember the key command for 'Clip Looping' (Command Option L on Mac, Control Alt L on PC) and then input loops you want, or to set another end point, such as until the next clip, or end of the session.
It is clunky and cumbersome compared to other DAW's.
This is just one example- there are loads of them.
Pro Tools also has some rather arbitrary limitations unless you are going for HDX, which I assume you are not.
As a native solution you will be limited to 32 simultaneous inputs, so if you have a 64 channel interface PT will only let you use 32 of them.
I need to have Pro Tools HDX and it is great at what it does.
If I was suggesting a do-it-all DAW then it would be Cubase or Logic, no question.
Most people I work with (and myself) tend to sequence in another application (I use Logic and Live mostly) and then transport everything into PT to mix.

Start with that.
Pro Tools is expensive to get in and they ransom you with yearly 'support payments.
I spend $400 a year just to have Pro Tools Ultimate license stay current- it is a massive ball ache and frankly I really dislike Avid's business model.

@Bezzer - before you buy anything, go have a look at Cakewalk by Bandlab. I have used Sonar/Cakewalk since about 96, and bought the very last version of Sonar Platinum with lifetime upgrades, only to fins a year or two later it is now free. Great.
The new free version is the same as Platinum, but you don't get all of the third party bundled VSTs e.g. melodyne. What you do get is a pro grade DAW, with the same level of functionality as the previous paid for flagship version. Its pretty intuitive to use too. Cakewalk's in house VSTs are very good too.
the only drawback I find with Sonar is that it can be glitchy. I don't know what the bandlab version is like though in this respect. I am not far off doing a totally fresh install, so I will find out soon...…
I debated long time about changing DAW, but I am a hobbyist with precious little time to learn a new one. IMO it would be a waste of time and money.
