Yeah But it's AVID, you know they are going to hire a new consultant who's going to do exactly what your saying not to! It's not like we haven't been down that road before. It's AVID😎 Well that's what I'm afraid of. They're like the crazy ex....... You want to trust that she's changed and you want to believe she's not bat Sh*$ crazy anymore, but you still proceed with caution. It's even worse when you were once officially associated with AVID! In all seriousness, AVID is like JC Penny's, every time they make changes that start to bring you back, management gets all nervous and goes back to what it was. Don't get me wrong, PT HDX is the most powerful stable scalable mix capable DAW with low latency monitoring, Used it since PT2!, have owned TDM & HD, own vanilla & was a product specialist. AVID would be great and probably regain its almost total top level dominance if they would just give up the bottom part of the market! Yeah it's gigantic but the support costs are exponential those of the true pro market ! Every time they would release a new attempt at lowend I would remind them of session 8 and I would always hear " it was a bad product " I would always respond " no it's the fact that consumers think a computer is a computer is a computer, they don't understand the OS and hardware differences & as you move down market neither dose your sales force"! Funny over the years as they left I have heard I am right time & time again! |

i really like the Channel Preset Recall feature, seems like a big time saver for projects.

I may have to re-buy my license again. Haha!! All this is sounding good, and I'm stopped at 12.4....

I gave up on protools years ago and believe it or not moved to Studio One which handled hardware integration much more gracefully. Did they make any changes to the new protools to make hardware integration any smoother? Outside of Protools HD it has always been clunky for me.

I gravitated away from Pro Tools and became a big user of Studio One, but over the last 8-10 months started moving back to Pro Tools and have never been happier. I now use Pro Tools pretty exclusively and since I use a 2 Bus+ and patchbay, hardware integration for me has never been easier. I also find the latest 2018.1 to be very CPU friendly and it just seems to work. I recently picked up the Avid S3 and am really loving the workflow. |

Do you find any delay compensation issues with protools? Are they handling it any differently? |

However, the only virtual instrument I use is SD3 and everything else I record is pure audio so that could be a factor. |
