I'm trying to use Pro Tools and Logic today. I'm experiencing the same issue with both. An example from Pro Tools: The way the software is set for recording vs. editing vs. mixing is very different. The same with Final Cut Pro. There's a huge difference between assembly vs. fine cut vs. colour correct. Right now I'm using Final Cut to manually get rid of clicks and pops in very old film audio tracks. So I need to toggle between finding the noises and fixing them. I've been using tools called "pencil" and "zoom." Later I'll be editing sound effects, so I'll need "trimmer" and "selector." I would love it if I could just switch from one mode to the other, without having to change a bunch of tools around. Then I'll have to change them again when it comes time to mix the tracks. What I need to be able to do is DUPLICATE and then RENAME the Pro Tools settings. Then I can go in and edit each to fit my needs, like "Pro Tools - Edit" and "Pro Tools - Mix." I used to have a Kensington trackball that would let me do that.
