Default Re: I am so bummed about 5.1

Unfortunate, but true. However, all 888/16 interfaces will work with 24bit 5.1 (in AES I/O). There, PT-3 IS compatible with 5.1.

It's called obsolesence, and it's planned. Otherwise, ALL upgrades would be free(software), and versions would never be released with bugs. $8k is WAY too much for what you get - there are some host-based programs that cost under a grand that have features that make PT 5.1 look like a pteradactyl. If Digi would suddenly cyt prices in half and give out rebates to current loyal owners, they'll keep their owner base - if not, hey, for grins I can buy
software "N" for home, learn it, & replace PT in 6 months.
