Coz PT has none of the issues Studio One has that you have listed :D

Avid...choose a suite of cards "Hearts-Diamond-Clubs-Spades"
OK..i choose Hearts.
Avid... great, that leaves you with "Diamond-Clubs-Spades" now choose another: go on any card you wish.
OK..i choose Diamonds.
Avid... boy your good, that leaves you with "Clubs-Spades" now choose another: go on any card you wish. :D

Voice packs? If that means my 200-channel composition template no longer opens until I buy a voice pack, I will not be happy and may have to consider a DAW switch. Voice pack better not cost more than a Studio one upgrade. (I have V2 already). Unbelievable in 2019. I’ll be talking with them about this tomorrow at NAMM.

Re: Pro tools 2019 !
 

If you are already using 200 voices on vanilla or Ultimate, then you won't need a voice pack. The voice packs gets your native based Ultimate system from 256 voices at 48k, to 384 voices at 48k. If you have an HDX system, then the voice count increases with each HDX card you have, up to a total of 1152 voices.

If you're just on vanilla, then I guess there's no option for a voice pack increase. Which limits you to...128?

Wow, just wow... (First, i thought; Is today the 1. April?)

Voice Packs? Really... What is wrong with Avid... We pay 400 Dollars every year to get updates. Now Avid found a new way to grab cash...In App Purchases...like Voice Packs. What comes next? The number Session Plays will be limited and you have to pay for more playback slots... :-)

What is Avid thinking...What is the strategy behind this...

Re: Pro tools 2019 !
 

Although I won't need one of these so called "voice packs", I too think that the extortion plans are absolutely ridiculous, as many people have mentioned here already.
It sounds like the marketing department are being more creative than the development team.

I mean, did they really think that this was going to be a good idea.

Re: Pro tools 2019 !
 

I think Avid just had to rewrite the Playback Engine first to make other great features possible later this year. Rewriting the engine must have been a big task so they didn’t have any resources to create requested features. A big side-effect of the new engine is that PT can now handle more voices. So that’s what we're getting as a new feature for now.

Im in Denial ofcourse. This is just one big moment of wishful thinking on my part, even though I should know better by now :D

The features I would really like to see are:

• Folders in the clip list

• ARA2 support (especially for Melodyne)

• Better Elastic Audio algorithms and third party algorithm support

• More MIDI features like MIDI effect plugins plus a good arpeggiator

• Track folders

EDIT: Come to think of it. If this previewed update comes somewhere in Q1 (which will probably be march), we'll have to wait for at least June to maybe see any of these features. That's a depressing thought!!

Re: Pro tools 2019 !
 

Well, I just tried Samplitude and it will only let me create 999 tracks. And someone wrote that Reaper is limited to 4096 tracks. So I guess they do have limits, just very high and arbitrary ones.

The idea of offering 1152 tracks, but no track folders, is mind-boggling to me.

Re: Pro tools 2019 !
 

Didn't they rewrite the whole audio engine for PT11?
Not THAT long ago....

Re: Pro tools 2019 !
 

Who said that the DAE has been rewritten? Can‘t find that information.
