Pro Tools is the standard here in LA...NY...even little Chicago.
I am a Logic user, but you can't deny the fact that PT has been the "standard" for years.
Try walking into Westlake Studio A and asking for their logic dongle...its buried in someone's desk...somewhere?

Where's your neck of the woods? Anybody who suggests that Pro Tools is not the de facto standard simply doesn't know what they are talking about. It is the primary, A # 1, no questions asked, tool for making the records that people buy. Period. In terms of what professionals use, Logic doesn't even compete in the same park.

It's pretty standard in LA. Films, Music. A lot of productions uses it. Of course there are people who uses other programs. My friend uses digital performer for his film music projects. Some people do use logic. But Protools' pretty big. You can say it's not a standard if there is no such thing as a "standard." But Logic is definitely not the standard if Protools isn't a standard.
What's up with having us who spent $79 and bought 7.2 in the summer to cough up yet another $49 to buy this upgrade. That's so wrong. It hasn't even been a year. This should have been free... or at most a $20, maybe $30 upgrade. Sucks...I'm not gonna buy this upgrade and only to have another one come out in half a year and charge me another $49.
