[Alio 45]

I work in music, post and education.

Not all post is in Hollywood. Much of my post work is TV where budgets are being cut as advertisers are looking at other mediums. I find I'm often working longer hours for less money.

$1500 for an upgrade is difficult to swallow just now (PT8 - PT10) and the new HDX hardware is off th radar.

I also teach in a college where I have, over the years, got them to buy 2 HD systems and 20 LE systems. I have also advised hundreds of students as to what PT system is best for them. Many will now be using HD systems. I'm possibly responsible for putting countless thousands of dollars in AVID/Digidesigns pocket.

After this from AVID, If I continue to send students down the PT route I feel I may be giving them bad advice.
