Nice to know I'm not the only one with this thought. I've seen the same sentiment appear several times already since the news dropped. This is not the way to pick up new users starting their careers... |

Re: ProTools price adjustments from July 1st.
I am sickened by Avid's BS more than ever before. Last winter I renewed my perpetual license support, against my better judgment. It took about 5 god damn months for PT2019 to appear.
You cannot keep acting in this pathetic way and expect people to keep accepting it. Of course we will all do/pay what's needed to get work done. But for me personally, for what it's worth, the time has definitely come to stop renewing and stick with a version for a long long time. It won't stop me from working, and I can have the satisfaction of not being chained to the Avid VC-money-pit. |

Really the only reason I've been staying with PT is Studio One's bundled drum plugin doesn't sound as good as Xpand 2. So I've been using PT for drum programming. I've been wanting to improve my programmed drum sounds, and I've been considering buying Superior Drummer, but I didn't want to pay the $399 for it. Seems like Avid has decided to push me that way though. Instead of paying $199/yr for PT and another $49/yr for the complete plugin bundle, I can buy Superior Drummer. I'm only behind $150 the first year, but after that I don't have to pay anymore unless I decide to upgrade. And while we were waiting for 2019.5 to come out, S1 released 2 updates for free. The last upgrade had some really great new features. PT's paid update had virtually no new features. I hate to do it because I love working in PT, but as a hobbyist who makes no money from this, I just can't justify the cost. Hopefully PT 2019.5 will continue to work for years with my perpetual license so I don't have to move all my sessions over to S1.

Re: ProTools price adjustments from July 1st.
XPand 2 can be bought from plugin boutique for $15 and works with any DAW with VST or AU support (this happened because AIR Instruments was sold off by Avid.)

I've always said the only PT killer will be Avid, not another DAW. Thats not just because of the whacked out pricing structure, but their incredibly slow progress in getting with the times. I still much prefer PT workflow over the other DAW's I own, but I never recommend it to younger guy's who ask me what to buy. Mostly because it's a total money pit and I don't wish that on anybody. It's also been pretty buggy for years now.

Where's the Avid alternative? It's like they had Whitey Bulger think this thing up. |
