Hey guys,

So today I went and kicked it with a friend of mine who has gotten (recently) into production who lives with his parents but his parents gave the garage to him to set up a studio. He actually has a really sick setup and they (him and few of his friends who rap) have been cranking out some pretty banging tunes.

So he told me to come over and chill with him and discuss / produce (or attempt to in my case) with him.

We got to chatting and he said extremely convincingly that everyone who wants to be taken seriously needs a copy of Pro Tools which is industry standard. He said even though he actually uses Cubase but he said that whenever anyone ever like high up in the industry asks for you to send your track + the files (i forgot what you call them lol) for the track if you don't send it in Pro Tools they won't take you seriously.

Is this true? I am looking for strictly facts - as in "Yes it is, because I have done it" or like "No it's not, because I sent Dre my last few productions and he used it and won a grammy."

Actually fuck it, opinions too.

Thanks a lot!
