Default Getting AVID's attention

Is there any way to actually contact AVID to report bugs and problems?
It seems to me like there is no support without an AVID support code any more.

I don't need assisted support, I just want to support problems I believe are bugs (like the wrong processing delay of the MDW EQ v5). I'm surely not buying ASC to report THEIR mistakes.

Any ideas how to get AVID's attention?
Thanks

Re-post your thread with a more meaningful title, like: "MDW EQ v5 bug report"

Hey Tobias,

We do not expect anyone to pay to report a bug. We use a combination of DUC and IdeaScale to verify and report/track bugs.

Please see Bug Reports text at http://protools.ideascale.com for directions.

Thanks!

I hate to sound snippy but it seems like Avid doesn't do anything about bugs long reported via Ideascale. They may get tracked and verified but there are bugs long reported that still exist.

the older the bug the harder it is to find do to the plate of spaghetti the code is now
if 11 is the full rewrite into moduler 64 bit code (that the rumor anyway):
a) hopefully the bugs get squashed in the rewrite
b) they will be easier to find and fix w/o braking something else

Exactly. Hopefully its a clean slate of code and brings both some new features and bug fixes. I'm sure it will do both.

Is anyone actually moderating the Ideascale forums these days? It could definitely use someone from Avid going through and consolidating similar ideas, weeding out AIR plug-in requests, or just deleting requests for bug fixes in PT8 that were fixed in v9 or v10...

Ideascale is great as a concept, but only if cultivated. I'd still recommend DUC users go there and first see if your problem is already there, and then vote yay or nay on what you want to see fixed.

thanks!
