Why so soon?
Just wondering why such a short life for 12.6? It was just released on September 29th. Less than three months has to be some sort of a record! Add to that that 12.7 seems to be pretty buggy from what I’m reading. What are the features that warranted a new number? My plan is still in force so It doesn’t matter much, but it does make me curious. Any ideas?

Good question. Maybe the old "crank out an update whether it's ready or not so people think they're getting their money's worth out of their support plan" ploy?

That's the best explanation I've heard so far. Pathetic.

Re: Why so soon?
Now headed into my 2nd year of no HD extortion and my world is just fine! Even if they come up with something so over the top that its freakin' insane, it will be another 18 months before they are close to working out all the bugs on that new freakin' insane feature, that I can then pay my $999 extortion then, and still be not out any more had I paid from the beginning, and even more importantly, zero added stress of having to deal with all the bugs that everyone who was on the extortion plan had to deal with during that same period!!!!

Did the one that prevents Protools from running correctly on a Windows 10 system with Smaart 8.x installed on the same system get fixed?

Re: Why so soon?
Avid has been doing quarterly releases ever since they started the subscription plan. Unfortunately some of the quarterly releases have been followed by bug fix releases. (For example, PT 12.6.1)

I'll get back on the train once there's reason for it. And when (if?) this day comes I surely won't have lost any money even if I have to pay the extortion fee. It's going to be a while, that's for sure.
