Re: Any reason to renew?

it is just like the "Help Us Help YOu" Document that NO One New to the Forums reads, and we have to direct them to it .. i was hoping that at some point that would be a mandatory read before you could post or the very least make them post their Signature with System info before Posting .. but hey, i asked that too .. shot down in flames !!! .. haha yes, there are a lot of sub-forums .. Q: have all those sub-forums helped clean up main forums at all ??? or has it just cluttered up the OverAll Forums ??? cheers john

Re: Any reason to renew?
I am really a fan of Protools HD and its ok to work with, but i am a little bit disappointed. 428 Euro per year and the updates are containing minimal enhancements. The workflow is the same for some years now.
Other DAWs improved their workflows. For example the splitscreen (Logic was the first) is great and intuitive mechanic. One Click or Shortcut for the piano roll or notation... This is very helpful even if you work with 2 or more displays. Then Daws have a pitch correction included or a great possibility to use Melodyne. Another point; why the limitation of Inserts and Sends... and so on... I hope, Avid is still creative... Then the 428 Euro are worth the price... But now, there is nothing really insteresting or a game changer... |

The rest of my post was just a general statement to all . I agree it is kinda frustrating when people post a problem with no or vague system info. But perhaps there is not any practical method to code for a system in sig restriction ??? As far as " What's New " there are already the General Announcements and Technical Alerts where that info is pretty well covered in the Release notes etc . But again IMO a "Should I Renew" sub forum may be too Ambiguous a question. It's like asking "what is best for me ?" It's too open ended and totally dependant on individual perception of value and return on dollar. Now I could be wrong and maybe as you ask, it would help clean up the main forums, but I think the nature of question posed would make it pretty problematic and messy. It's like asking should I buy a new or used car . there is no universal or correct answer. As far as the OP Yes there are reasons to renew, just as there are reasons to possibly not renew. It depends on the individual situation and what they feel is more valuable, the money saved or access to upgrades. Or maybe I am just being old and grumpy

Re: Any reason to renew?
I like to refer to this knowledge base article when thinking of things like this:
http://avid.force.com/pkb/articles/en_US/faq/en393795 Reminds me that in the roughly 2 years since 12.4, there hasn't been anything new that I felt truly excited about. Two years, 4 dot revisions, and a whole lot of bug fixes... So I let my plan lapse in November. I figure at this rate I can go 3 years without missing much, and at least have broken even if I do re-up. Won't really change much, in the long run, as the $$$ I used to spend every few years is equivalent to what I am being asked to spend yearly now, but I guess it feels a little less like lighting money on fire.

Re: Any reason to renew?
I can’t believe this is the best they can do.
This is not a good way to keep a user base. Great piece of software at its core. But this subscription model has been really lackluster. The bugs have been awful. Still having certain things happen that have been there for a long time. I pay a premium price for what? Seems so far it’s mostly bug fixes. But I’m willing to hear the argument on why I should renew. What’s coming? My subscription expires on the 29th. There is a 30 day grace period right? I will wait until the last day. Convince me. If not I’m gonna stop the upgrades.The current version works ok. I can deal with it. |

Re: Any reason to renew?
I'm far from thrilled with the current situation, but the bundle of all plugins helps take some of the sting out for me, specifically X-Form. I know it's not all it could be, but vastly better than the two default timestretch / pitching options, which are quite expensive to buy standalone and since its an offline process I can use without ever worrying about keeping a rental up to date. Saved lots of bouncing out to RX for me, a big time saver. So that was A reason to renew, alongside that holy grail of a stable version on Windows and maybe a new feature or two.
(FWIW, the new feature that's made the most to me in the past 2 years isn't even a claimed feature - it's the fact they had to widen the track names to fit the freeze button in. Makes a huge difference to me, that!)
