Biggest announcement is that HD software will be unbundled from the hardware. I.e. You can buy just the HD software now. I'm trying not to laugh...$2499. Upgrade from PT Vanilla $1899.

A shame, pricing themselves out of the market. I guess they look at boxed Nuendo at $1800 and see it as a direct competitor. Or something. |

I'm so stuck on what do do with PT. I don't want to switch DAWs but everything they're offering me makes me cock my head and furrow my brow.

I sit here mixing in PT12 because that's what I got back from the studio...I could mix in Cubase, but my publisher doesn't use it or own it...Sigh. For all of my stuff I do at the house I use Cubase.

Nothing wrong with positioning themselves towards the high end is there? Tried and true marketing approach. Will it work for avid? Who knows. Time will tell. Their hardware took a HUGE price drop though. That's good news for PT users.

Aside from the extra video in the timeline features, a couple extra automation types, higher track count, more than 32 I/o, or if u need surround, I don't see where the $2499 comes in at, quite costly, then you have to pay $400 a year to keep it perpetual and upgradable so $2899, plus $299, if you do not use HD I/o or omni. Wow, this is crazy. Also, a $500 dollar drop on $5000 interface, pathetic, UA, gave me an amazing student discount when I purchased my SF Apollo and the Apollo was $2500-2600. Ya this is another desperate money grab. If Avid really cared, this HD SW would have always been unbundled, but the crippled that option to sell HW interfaces. www.pro-tools-expert.com/home-page/2016/9/9/pro-tools-126-pricing-and-upgrades |

Since buying logic for $200 haven't used PT once. My current deal goes till next December but I can't see why I would put any more dough into avid.

Do I really have to upgrade form PT10 yet? I paid $1500 to upgrade from 8 to 10.
Everything works, so why upgrade?

My only complaint with logic is when you start getting a TON of regions in a project, be it as Take folders, or as regular regions that are nudged around. Every time you cut up an audio file and create a new region, it creates two new ones. 1) the original Long region you chopped is still listed in the project Bin, 2) the new short region and 3) the remainder of the chopped #1. #2 and #3 are displayed in the arrange window, but #1 isn't. So, you have to go the Audio Bin, "select unused" and hit delete, as well as delete your undo history. If you don't do this, logic starts to run SUUUUUPER slow after your project surpasses about 300 of these chopped, short regions. |

Do I really have to upgrade form PT10 yet? I paid $1500 to upgrade from 8 to 10. Everything works, so why upgrade? I'm on 10.3.1 for paid studio work. For my setup it's rock solid. I have 12.5 on a partitioned HD and it does run well, however I have not stressed tested it enough to let it have the starting role, until then 10.3.1 for me ( rtas aax32  ) |

The freeze and offline bounce are well worth it. Offline bounce is in 11, that freeze tracks thing would have been handy one computer generation ago. If there is some sort of new console 1 integration in an update though, that would finally tip the scale. When my 4 years of updates ran out, I Cinderella'd on 11. |
