Enough of Avid
Updating Pro Tools and the issues surrounding each and every time has now sent me packing. I can't get any support without paying again. All I want to do is update from 12.7 to 12.7.1 and all I get is a error saying I am trying to use a newer version and I am not authorized. I go to the web site account information everything is active, I go the Ilok its fine I tried all the forum fixes nothing worked.
I have the damn perpetual license I just did in Dec for a year , everything works fine than a new update and nothing works. Pretty darn frustrating to say the least. You call Avid they refuse to take the call unless you pay again, what gives AVID, I filled a case on line again no response. I have been with them for a damn long time, now I think there are better solutions, I will look for a new alternative. :mad: |

Thanks John, yes I am on a Mac, and I did reinstall the 12,7,0 version and got it working again, its damn frustrating to have to deal with all their problems. No more updates for now.

yeah, hang with a version of PT that works for you and test by renaming as they come out .. i spent hours today trying to get a couple things to be consistent and no rhyme or reason in the end .. lots of notes and going back ands forth from PT10, 11,12 .. Session Import is acting odd and I/O is acting strange .. i even have the same version of PT12.4 on different Mountain Lion and Mavericks drives and it acts different .. same installer ...blah blah blah |
Re: Enough of Avid
There is no shortage of options. I settled on Reaper (PC) as my main DAW. Good luck to you. I don't have as much invested in PT as many here, so for me the decision to move on was easy. The headaches and downtime are ridiculous, and quite frankly, for my needs the software isn't all that good when it works.

Hadsame issue - install the new Application Manager - that sorted it out here...

Re: Enough of Avid
I don't know why anyone would choose Pro Tools for music anyway, there are far better options for you music folk. The only reason I use Pro Tools is because it's the only real option for professional post production. I always discourage Pro Tools for newbies wanting to get into recording their own songs. Not only is the learning curve steep but they constantly complain it doesn't work how they want. They bang on about how great Logic is, so why don't all of you just use that.

I tried other DAWs with my students, for them it is - comparatively - simple to start recording. my 2c |
