I read this thread from the beginning. I conclude :

1) 1/4 of the users here are happy with bug fixes and stability. They accept to pay for it, even reluctantly. I understand them half-way. They are perfect customers for Avid. Avid likes them a lot.

2) 3/4 of the users oppose or denounce the Avid policy, and especially its concrete results, very poor compared to the promises. These are negative customers for Avid. But Avid does not care. It does not change anything on the stock market. He can lose a lot at this level, especially small players. It does not change anything for Avid.

I like PT very much. I have Samplitude, Cubase, Reaper. I tried Studio One, and even Pyramix. I always come back to PT. So I endure ... but I yell a little anyway!

We know 4 things:

Pro Tools is extraordinary.
Pro tools will advance and advance like a turtle.
Avid's concerns are not ours.
Times have changed and we have to pay for a usage fee, much more than for developments.
