I think I'm getting off the train
I have been a PT user now since 2001. I'm mainly a songwriter/musician. I have always tried to stay current with PT but the doubling of the cost to stay current is just to much for this retired guy. Love PT and will try and use my legacy system as much as possible but hard to justify the expense to stay current. Own cubase 6 and logic 9 but always preferred PT but the model sucks for me. I doubt I am the only one who feels this way.

Re: I think I'm getting off the train
You’re not and the dozens of other threads that appear seemingly on a weekly basis will confirm that.
Perhaps the mods can make a sub forum just for complaint threads? =P BTW - I don’t disagree with you, but I’m not sure constantly starting new threads is the answer. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Re: I think I'm getting off the train
The more the merrier as far as I am concerned.
Hopefully, Avid will wake up and smell the coffee? Stephen

Re: I think I'm getting off the train
I’ve been learning Reaper the past few months, I find it much more powerful than PT. I won’t go into listing the reasons there isn’t enough space here. It took some head scratching and customizing but it’s worth it. It’s a fantastic DAW for sound design.

Re: I think I'm getting off the train
One more year for me. Once the new mac pro's are working well with PT (assuming they come out as planned).

Not that it matters to most, but ... I am also planning on leaving AVID during 20/21. I'm on PT Ultimate. Costs is too high ... for almost nothing. AVID's policy is far off compared to most. I would say there is a lack of decency when it comes to 'money talk' on that part. Sad But hey, that's me. Others might have another view. Been using Pro Tools since v2. And IMHO, Its the best looking DAW with the best workflow around. But the costs ... Also been looking into Reaper lately, and find it very interesting. Even found a couple of Pro Tools Skins for it. Looking good so far ...

Re: I think I'm getting off the train
i wonder why Reaper can be a very Small Installer / Program and has lots of features ... and Pro Tools is a very Large Installer / Program ...
i swear a few years back maybe PT9, that we were all told the program was rewritten nearly from Scratch .... to get rid of the Old Code and the Bloat !!! maybe i am crazy !!! happy with Logic X so far ... and PT is working just fine, stalled where i am and will watch Avid for any significant changes ..

Something tells me that Avid must have something big under development, otherwise, they are screwed once HDX is retired. If they go strictly native, than they are no different than all the other native companies. For latency reasons and the new Mac Pro keeping PCIe alive and well, I see Avid releasing an updated replacement for HDX. It better be damn good and the software development needs to keep up with the rest of the industry, which it isn't at the moment.

Re: I think I'm getting off the train
What’s an ”Apollo Apogee” and whats pushing 5years? We have 4 of the new Apollo X8P series and they just came out! Kills the ”Silver Apollo” you say you have both sound and everything else. We track at 64/32 buffer size which is impossible to hear any latency so compare the HDX and the new X series of Apollo the converters are better in the X8P than the old (now) Avid purple branded HD interfaces so the people who use HDX today does that for the voice count and not the sound quality. We have HDX2 and the latest HD interfaces and we have compared daily but UA wins everytime all the time.
