Re: ProTools price adjustments from July 1st.

I’m a PT Ultimate Perpetual license user and heard about this a few days ago And just got an email where now I have to sign over my payment schedule to another company if not I’ll leave my perpetual license this year but,with those prices for Cubase / Logic Studio One / Abelton /Reaper $60!! you mentioned ect there FIXED BUY PRICES! You own it !!(remember that notion?!)) not per month/yearly rental wich is beyond Logic!! (no pun intended ))....but there’s not even a “hire purchase service” like Waves or anything,where you own it after 24 months no.....sorry can’t justify the prices and uncertainty for the “privileage” of using PT anymore as much as I’m used to it,and happy (for the most part) except when it crashes 10 times in a row wich has NEVER happened with Cubase or Logic.i don’t know if anyone else feels like AVID have been laughing their fat butts off at us for a long time even with their hardware software bundles but I don’t accept anymore.....16 years of hard use of PT and I’m out.

Re: ProTools price adjustments from July 1st.
There's a poll for vanilla perpetual license holders over at a famous gear forums, asking what they are planning to do after the price adjustments, and amongst 41 voters not a single one voted for the "Surrender your perpetual license for the subscription crossgrade offer." option.
Interestingly over 50% of voters have already decided not to give another dime to Avid, either by switching DAWs now or letting their upgrade plan expire. About 27% say they will buy upgrade renewal(s) before July 1st, then switch to another DAW or let the upgrade plan expire. Less than 15% are willing to pay 199$ for their upgrades. |

You mean like a ”Game Changer” as Avid loves to use that phrase ...

Re: ProTools price adjustments from July 1st.
Seems like Avid doesn't know if there will be a reinstatement for Vanilla. I quote some answers I have from them:
First answer about if how much it will be charging for Vanilla reinstate: "Thank you for contacting Avid. Based on the price change that will take place on July 1, unfortunately, there will be no upgrade reinstatement plan available anymore. The only options to get to the latest version of Pro Tools, if you have an expired annual update and support plan, are to purchase either an annual or monthly subscription." Second answer after I asked about if I'd loose the perpetual licence if I do a annual or monthly subscription: "Apologies for my first response. I just received word from my team, that upgrades are still being evaluated. Rest assured that we are going to update further you regarding this."

I believe sharing confidential discussion is against the forum rules.

Ok, sorry I guess I skipped that part on reading the rules about it. Feel free to delete the post.

Re: ProTools price adjustments from July 1st.
...anyway, I feel so let down by Avid with this decision that the only thing I could do is freeze my system and hold it until it will no longer go on future computers and than switch back to the trusty Nuendo. And of course, not recommend it to any of my audio pro colleagues anymore.

Re: ProTools price adjustments from July 1st.
It doesn't appear to be. At least I can't see anything about that in the forum rules.
