No big deal. It costs the same to upgrade now as it did a few months ago. If Avid had not announced anything about support plans or subscriptions, and came out with PT12 now, after 11 has been around almost 2 years, I don't know if anyone would have a problem with it. |

Granted they have been pretty cagey about the time frame of when they will release those new features other than to say sometime in 2015. And yes they have not actually allowed those of us who are already on PT11 to actually buy in until recently. But they have also said that we will have until the end of 2015 to make that decision. Doesn't really matter if they call it Protools 11.5 or Protools 12 or Protools Bob. If you have a current support plan you will get the new version. If y do not have a support plan, you will have to either buy a support plan or pay the full price for the new version.

If you already have 11, you don't need to support plan yet. Wait until PT12 hits the market, then pay your $199/$599. That will give you PT12, plus a year of support/updates/upgrades from the date you pay. Protools 12 is the proverbial carrot on a stick. Prior to 31st December it was the opportunity to jump 1, 2 or even 3 versions of protools to 11 for cheap. For the rest of us, its a new version. It scares me, really. I can't stop envisioning us all being happy with the release of 12... then back here in 3 years wondering why we wasted $599 on subscriptions that yielded very little. Some may consider me pessimistic.

Re: Avid Pro Tools 12 NAAM GC Pro ad
Why do you think that you are legally entitled to free upgrades?
Did you get some secrete handshake contract with Avid that the rest of us were not privy to?

Re: Avid Pro Tools 12 NAAM GC Pro ad
Protools 12 is an upgrade not an update.
I bought my Protools 11 license in October 2013. Since then I have received at least a half dozen updates, including the latest 11.3. That's well over 12 months of updates for free. Are you mad because you bought Protools 11 just a couple of months ago you you expect to get 12 months of updates even though they are about to announce a new version? And, BTW, even though they may be announcing PT 12 at NAMM this week, it's entirely possible that it may not be available until the summer or fall...

I think you are currently creating a fuss about nothing. Anyone whom purchased 11 prior to the recent subscription plan should just wait and see what happens. The prices for the plans are still the same now as they were 3 months ago.

Re: Avid Pro Tools 12 NAAM GC Pro ad
I know it's a predictable, negative and tiresome thing to say, but PT11 still doesn't seem solid enough to now be rushing into 12. The support network is completely broken, and PT11 still has major glitches - hard to feel much excitement for the next tsunami of bugs.

As an early PT11 adopter, it did seem unfair when others were rewarded for holding back and avoiding the bug-testing phase ... but that was based on an assumption that we would be treated worse! You never know - now that the non-PT11 users have had such a great opportunity/offer (upgraders will get PT12 for free under their $199/$599 support plan), Avid can turn their attention to us. Maybe, existing PT11 users will be offered an even cheaper/longer upgrade with support plan when PT12 becomes available? And maybe Avid will choose this time to address one of the key remaining issues i.e. cost of buying back in from a lapsed support plan?! Then everyone would have received a good offer to buy into the new model! :) |
