Well, not really. If you own 2 vanilla licenses, the support plan is more.
Considering you get 5 installs of S1.
If you own one copy of HD, it is much more.
All I'm saying is that other DAWs are making it attractive to switch over.
AVID isn't making hobbyist or even semi pro users feel very important.
Between the number of people I know who are switching and not upgrading past PT 11, I can count the number of people who are reluctantly going with AVID's support plan on 1 hand.
Not to mention all of the hardware upgrade/purchase losses I know about.
Just saying, if AVID thinks everything is all "puppies and kittens", then they sure are smoking something.
Not sure how AVID considers themselves on an equal playing field as Adobe or Microsoft.
Guess AVID will have to get knocked down a few pegs first, replace the CEO, clean house and try to rebuild when its all said and done.
