Pro Tools 12 Release Date & Features
 

Hello Folks,

Looks Like PT 12 will be released around late march 2015 or April 2015 (The Support plan we purchased cut off date has a reason somehow ....)

Features ...

Honestly I think that having no additional features might be in the end a blessing for having ""maybe"" a stable and solid Pro Tools version ... we never asked for more features anyway ... no ?

Am I the only "stand alone" user left? I have no use for the features.

Re: Pro Tools 12 Release Date & Features
 

You're not along. I haven't run across a single "new" feature in PT12 which interests me.

Re: Pro Tools 12 Release Date & Features
 

The support plan end date for early buyers is March 2016 NOT 2015. If there were no additional features then there's no reason for a PT12. They only do whole number versions for new features, not bug fixes.

So, the difference between PT 11 and 12 is what exactly for people who simply use PT11 in a home studio?

I can't believe Avid has been massively promoting PT11 purchase in the last 6 months only to replace it so quickly....

Well, right now it's the cloud collaboration stuff. But I assume they will be adding new features every now and then. I base this on the fact that they said they can release new features more quickly instead of waiting for the next major upgrade.

Again new features, really more often... How about tell us some of the things that they have been developing that we might get soon. I'm happy with 11. If I stay with 11 will they let me upgrade at the end of 2016 or will I be forced into a full version purchase. I like to own what I have. I'll do $30 if it's not on a commitment only because I could rent it for a month and drop out, if not I'd totally pay $200 to get all new features by then and upgrade my current version but no more.

Track Freeze?

Re: Pro Tools 12 Release Date & Features
 

Just watched a video from NAMM that Will from SOS magazine had with Tony Cariddi and they talked a lot about PT First and PT12. Lots of talk about collaboration (nothing specific about track freeze though) and about how there's going to be an in-app purchase capability to buy stompbox models taken from the 11 Rack. As to real built-in new PT features - not so much.

Track freeze is the single biggest feature I want. If 12 doesn't have that.....:(
