False Avid Advertising
Perhaps the marketing team should try to get their customer communication right.
I got this email today The marketing Dept: Why Should You Upgrade to Pro Tools | HD 11? Save up to 40% and get more advantages if you act now Upgrade at a lower price than before—save up to 40% off previous upgrade pricing What's really going on: There is no Avid discount on HD 11 upgrades they are the exact same price as they were since HD 11 came out. At AES were we told that HD 8 owners could upgrade for same price as HD 9 owners then that was walked back quickly... What's going on in all that fog in Daly City? |

My only reason for wanting to upgrade that version of ProTools, was at least I know I would always have my version of ProTools HD 10, regardless whatever was done by Avid as we go forward. |
Re: False Avid Advertising
That is probably (?) because all PT8 HD systems would be TDM systems that cannot run PT11 at all, therefore not eligible for upgrade. In case I remember this correctly, first PT11 capable HD systems were the HDN PCI-e cards, which came with PT9

It is false advertising, I got an email telling me to upgrade to PT11 and save up to 60%. I already own PT11 so how is this an upgrade? How is paying $199 to go from PT11 to PT11 a saving of up to 60%? |

How about some incentives at least. Some people are comparing this to the Waves WUP. I've had issues with the waves model in the past but at least they give incentives.
Last week i renewed part of my WUP at a cost of $81 and they sent me a $50 e voucher. I put this towards a bundle that was discounted from $500 to $100, I got the bundle for $50. Waves made another sale and I was happy - winners all round. |
