Thanks, I shall. The real hurdle here is practical. We'd fail in our diligence to our students if we didn't teach them ProTools - there's simply not the faintest question of suddenly ditching it, so many studios simply expect fluency in it as a precondition. There have even been discussions about whether or not we have enough time to also pursue Logic - the answer has been "yes, but we'll have to cram them hard to get both platforms up to proficiency". Then there's the obvious need for at least passing hands-on exposure to tools like Ableton, Reason, Melodyne... and I teach them fourteen 4-hour classes in harmony, theory and chart reading too, there's no question of shorting them on that.
We've got a pretty full dance card and a finite curriculum to hit our goals in; getting Reaper in there at all is an achievement in and of itself.
