Re: $250 for ProTools 9 ???? = Wtf Is Avid Smoking
So I do tend to agree that people who bought an interface should get a slightly better deal on the upgrade cost.
The $599 for the full version is totally competitive and a good price. The $250 upgrade price for PT8 users is completely fair especially considering this is the stuff we have been whining about for a long time. It is now a case of us shutting up and putting some money where our mouth was. But the guy who just bought Eleven Rack last week..... these deals seem like they could qualify for a special on PT9 for sure.Maybe the person who bought an MBox 3 might not have gone that route, to get into Pro Tools, if he knew PT9 would work with any hardware. In that case he may have opted to go PT9 and something from Apogee or whoever. It is tough though....you cannot possibly please everyone. Overall, this is a splendid turn of events. Good move Avid.

Re: $250 for ProTools 9 ???? = Wtf Is Avid Smoking
Here's the thing. I'm a home studio guy who decided to get a DAW two weeks ago. I was edging toward Logic or Cubase. I'm not selling my services. I like to record myself playing guitar on multi-tracks and add in drums, bass, and whatever -- but for fun and only myself.
My pro audio friends (guys who work for TV and Radio) talked me into getting PT and I spent a little extra and did and have been having fun using 8LE. Then two weeks later another $250 just to stay current. (instead of buying a plugin or something.) I'm pissed but will survive. I can afford it. I just think it's gross and sneaky. I'm going to move on about this now. Pay the price, feel burned and throw darts at a print out of the PT9 graphics -- and tell everyone in Burbank who feels like listening to my sad story. |

Cubase 5 499.99 Digital Performer 325.00 Cakewalk Sonar 8.5 Producer 349.99 Apple Logic Sudio 9 499.99 These are all comparable to PTLE 9, but I suppose you could always record with Garage Band.

Re: $250 for ProTools 9 ???? = Wtf Is Avid Smoking
...Logic $403 etc etc etc.
Price is SO insignificant when you compare it to your time. Your decision process is extremely unwise if you're choosing your main DAW app purely on a lower cost. You pay dearly for that decision with each passing day and year. That's a fool's game. You're TIME investment into a DAW is far more valuable than your MONETARY costs...ad it up yourselves. PS - Also, if you're collecting 10's and 10's of VIs and plugins etc just because their cheap, not knowing any of them deeply, in my opinion, that's another fools game.

Re: $250 for ProTools 9 ???? = Wtf Is Avid Smoking
Wow. So for $700 you'll have hardware and software that blow away the 002R+PTLE 6.9 that paid $1100 for - on ebay! - five years ago. That's almost a miracle.
