A few readers have asked for it, so I’m going to see if there is any other interest out there?  Should PTDudes have a forum?  I know there is already Gearslutz and the DUC, but I think we could bring our own brand of fun to the forum world.  It would be a place to discuss and share work-flow and techniques specific to Pro Tools.  So, if you feel like it, vote in the poll below and we’ll see what happens!  Thanks!
