As a professional music composer for about 5 years, I rely on Pro Tools to realize my ideas and fully satisfied with its functionality. I don't use a Pro Tools Torrent version because I believe the official software is better because of its reliability, helpfulness, and regular updates and of course I can’t pay any fines.
The official version gives me access to the latest features and security updates, as well as everything I see in tutorials I can do in the official version too. Also, using legal software helps me keep the quality of my work and follow the norms in the industry.

Moreover, official versions of Pro Tools DAW software receive regular updates that present new tools and bug fixes. But if you use a torrented copy, you don't get these updates, so you're stuck with an old version that might have issues and could be less safe. Again with the YouTube lessons where you can just not find the necessary tools because your torrented version is limited.

Continuous recording with the ability to choose the best takes from a playlist
I really like the loop record feature in Pro Tools because it helps me get the perfect recording. I can quickly listen to different takes and pick the best one from the playlist, making sure my final music has the best quality.
Easy-to-use setup with a two-window interface
Pro Tools comes configured with a two-window setup that makes it easier for me to skip around my projects to access the tools that I want. It’s like having two monitors for work – a very useful feature for composers. I don’t like many menus, many buttons, but this version of Pro Tools has all the important things to make editing work easier.
A lot of plugins for shaping recordings
After testing many popular not cheap and all free tools I may recommend Pro Tools as one of the best Adobe Audition alternatives. Really, there are plenty of plugins brought in that will help any amateur especially to make recordings sound great. Either I need to add space with reverb or improve the dynamics, there's always a plugin for that.
Universe View
The universe view in Pro Tools is similar to the navigator panel in Adobe Photoshop. It helps users move around their session quickly and easily. You can find the universe view at the top of the editing window. You can also adjust its size. Tracks are displayed as thin bars in different colors to match the track's color.
Lack of bundled virtual instruments
The only minus I’ll mention is that Pro Tools does not come with virtual instruments. Well, I think it would make the program twice better and you won’t need to buy extra add-ons for more sounds, especially for composers like me, who need very many various virtual instruments to compile their music as trends are changing so fast.
Worrying about the potential loss of files
Though Pro Tools can be referred to as a reliable DAW, it does occasionally make the program crash or bug its interface. Especially if you use the Pro Tools torrent version. Something that often upsets me, considering the fact that I always worry of file loss.
