Studios using alternate DAWs?

We (AVA Entertainent and Studios) are a full-blown, full-service Studio One house. I was a Logic guy until I came here two years ago just to help the owner, an old friend, when his engineer had to leave. Seems like I never left. I was already familiar with Logic, so I dove right in as I literally walked in on a session with players sitting there ready to record and started learning Studio One, right then and there. Covid had just blown everything, and I mean everything out and this job saved my bacon that summer of 2020. Since then, we've been crazy busy with music sessions, voice-overs, audio to video (it's positively amazing how video guys can so very badly mangle simple audio tracks), and lately, I'm getting into and learning audio clean-up and restoration. At no time these past two years have I ever thought "gee, I wish I was back on Logic". And the Presonus Series 3 consoles integrate very well with Studio One as interfaces. I can do a remote live 64-track session with 2 Presonus 32R rack mixers and a MacBook Pro.
And there's a fair-size Logic house that I play sessions for occasionally, but less and less lately, oddly enough....
I did one Pro Tools session. They can keep Pro Tools.
Even with all this going on, I'm still a bass player first.
Plenty of studios aren’t using that garbage called Protools.
Audio clean up and edits, you’re a brave man my friend.
Long tedious work that’s severely undrpaid in my parts
what exact plug ins are you using? you never know, maybe some i’ve neverused before26731284[/URL], member: 249197"]I have become great friends with Izotope and Melodyne….
there may be some I need to make my life easier on some occasions.
but i’m done snapping stuff to the grid and pitch shifting bad singers.
(read, crap band that recorded crap drums in crap room woth crap mics and crap preamp that want to sound like « insert generic tech death band »)
And dont get me wrong, i love dirty/dusty/crappy recordings when done right

Plenty of pro studios, big-time composers, you-name-it use Logic. ProTools is not "mandatory" as it once was considered. Once of the main reasons ProTools is still used in some places is that they've invested so much $ into over the years, might as well stick with it.
I've been running Logic since it was Emagic...over 20 years, but have used ProTools plenty. Nothing you can do in PT that you can't do in Logic these days.

...im not a fan either
Just curious if you're looking because you anticipate a format problem? Any and every DAW can use raw audio tracks. You're not locked into one DAW.
I wouldn't call Pro Tools garbage. It's been my primary professional tool for thirty years during which I bought/sold two houses, family, raised two daughters with college tuitions, etc. At the same time, I am ready now to reduce my exposure to Avid's subscription policies.
There are plenty of DAW applications solid enough for professional use. A quality pro studio will likely have a couple options. Interchange these days is not terribly difficult. If you're a musician going into a studio to lay down tracks and mix, I'd imagine you'd want the engineer to use the tool that is his/her preference.

A thumb drive with tracks can be dumped into anything.
Including the TRASH when needed LOL !A thumb drive with tracks can be dumped into anything.
I run Reaper. There's cross-functionality with most DAW's, although I can't speak to Mac stuff like Logic.
