I don't think there would be any problems for a lefty. I use it as an alternative to the trackball, not as a midi device. I don't use it for most run-of-the-mill tasks in PT, I mostly use my ICON controls, keyboard commands and my trackball, but for the tasks I mentioned, it is ideal. I was thinking about buying the Digi surround panner joystick, but a friend who has one hasn't been really happy with his, and I wasn't whipped on shelling out all that money anyway, so I tried the Wacom on a whim. I have a trackpad in addition to the trackball (and mouse which I never use), but the trackpad is obviously not as accurate as a pen would be.I have a 10' diagonal Wacom tablet that I have been using for graphics projects for many years but never thought about using for PT until I tried it a while back. How's it for lefties? Any functional drawbacks you might see? Which one did you buy? Drawing out ticks with a trackball is definitely a bitch and I'd love to add a Wacom, but like others, I tried one years ago and didn't much like the pen action. Yes it takes some getting used too and there are a lot of good alternatives out there but for me it is an invaluable aid. Oh last but not least the Intuos 4 has a jog shuttle wheel (for those who need one) that is quite serviceable in PT.

It is cool to watch the descriptions change when pen touching between PT and Soundminer and the internet browser. The Intuos 4 comes with 8 programmable macro buttons that illuminate with the description of the macro and can be programmed on a program to program basis. When the pen is used with smart tools enabled, all editing functions are just a pen movement away, no keyboard needed. This combination alone is worth the price of admission. The second button on the pen is dedicated to a keystroke, 'separate region' which produces an edit. Clicking 'control' and touching with pen allows instant scrubbing of audio in PT with pen as the controller. I use one button on the pen as a modifier 'control'. I use the pen in 'mouse mode' to easily pan across two 28' monitors dedicated to Protools, video is viewed on a third screen. I use my Wacom to automate many editorial tasks. I am a sound editor and not a composer or mixer or musician. – Self-organizing : samples are categorized according to what they sound like- Integrated Bookmarking and Export : don’t loose the flow while browsing- Cross-platform : available for Windows.I cannot work without my Wacom, have one for PT at home and one for PT that I take with me from cutting room to cutting room.
