Yes, Pro Tools is the "Standard" but remember these things about
Digi001 - you're stuck with limited tracks (I think 24), you're stuck
with THAT hardware, a light version of the software and a program, in
my opinion, which is far inferior in terms of flexibility,
compatibility, speed and editing tools. Take a hard look at the new
beta of Vegas and the improvements in the audio features - envelopes,
time compression expansion and pitch shift as well as the general
support for ALL windows supported sound cards, unlimited audio and
video tracks, support for all internet formats, etc. Granted, I'm a
PC and SF person, but I've used Pro Tools and started on Sound
Designer and found that after switching I could never go back!!

Hope this helps.
