Command 8 PT11
I have heard a rumour that PT11, currently in development, will not support Command 8? Is this correct Avid? I have just bought one - shall I return it and go back to my old Mackie Universal Controller?

Re: Command 8 PT11
The next major upgrade will not support the command 8.

Re: Command 8 PT11
Makes a lot of sense because they need some way to make the Artist Series sell to the users of the smaller PT setups.
Just looks like Avid is trying to distinguish themselves once again with more pro-like offerings. It seems that since they want to continue to be considered the standard they are going back to a structure that is more like the old company structure. The non-hardware version of PT would be the safety net that would still offer a lower cost solution for those not wanting to invest heavily into Avid products. Interestingly enough the non-hardware PT will probably work out much better than the crippled LE versions did.

Re: Command 8 PT11
I think it's a horrible move from Avid.
No other company drops support for their hardware this aggressively in order to force sales of newer products. I'm actually worried now about buying an Avid artist series because they obviously will drop support for the, eventually as well. I think a Mackie Control Universal is the safer bet.

Re: Command 8 PT11
Not really.
Digidesign dropped support for many third party devices in the past, there is nothing that makes the HUI protocol safe from this. The Artist stuff is not flying off the shelves and there was a lot invested in acquiring it so they have to make business related decisions to cover this. When dealing with companies like Avid and Apple you learn that obsolesce is a normal business practice to a certain degree.

Re: Command 8 PT11
well thats it, just got the command 8 and now see this, this will be my last pt upgrade, off to another daw, last time you get to burn me evil empire...
the command 8 is a much better build than artist, and instead of building artist better, with IMO is cheep plastic junk from china you charge way to much for....just end support for something thats built well, and works well.... it is official, avid is worse at corporate greed than digi ever was...unreal.. see how this works out for you long term...your days are numbered.. |

Re: Command 8 PT11
Why would Avid ditch the Command 8? It's a simple MIDI device! What about PT 11 would make it impossible for it to be included?

Re: Command 8 PT11
Care to elaborate? It would not make sense to alienate prior users so that PT is only compatible with one thing...
