Avid - listening to customers - this is what I'd like
Hi Avid,
I recently got an email about an event in Europe advertising that you will have customers on stage etc and in the press releases for pro tools 9 I heard a lot of comments about avid listening to customers (something ssl is jumping on with their new x-panda). I do think its a good marketing strategy and I know you can't please everyone but here it goes - this is what I want I would like a PT9 native interface for tracking that takes all of the best features from the 003, HD omni and RME UFX. Apart from the obvious good features in the above it needs to have:
If you make this and at a price that matches the UFX you will clean up - I think it would suit the needs of every project studio and then if they go down the line of adding the HD i/o as adat they will eventually go HD one final thing, it would be nice if when it does eventually come out that there will be the option of trading in the 003. Please do this or you will loose all of your 003 people to the UFX. I know it will be a little bit of time before the Thunderbolt comes out but when it does if these options are not there and the RME or alternatives have it you will loose everyone on the hardware front. PLEASE LISTEN LIKE YOU SAY YOU DO |

Re: Avid - listening to customers - this is what I'd like
illinoise, honestly, you are in the wrong place to place ideas. Avid have a forum set up specifically for ideas (http://protools.ideascale.com/), which I am on as well. A good chunk of ideas that was posted there for PT9, passed. Your ideas will be voted on by your peers, but don't always change the outcome of Avid choosing or not choosing your ideas. Join the forum and enjoy!

Re: Avid - listening to customers - this is what I'd like
A couple of things to keep in mind:
1. The 003 is discontinued. They're not going to lose any sales of it because they're not making any more. 2. If they made the unit you're describing with the same quality as the HD interfaces, it would be quite expensive considering the price of the Omni and HD IO. 3. Thunderbolt interfaces are going to be a while off. Even hard drive manufacturers like OWC are not planning anything til 2012. I wouldn't hold your breath on this. |

Yes.
You would either vote for my Omni thunderbolt/firewire suggestion : http://protools.ideascale.com/a/dtd/Avid-Omni-thunderbolt---firewire-800!/80068-3779 or get the RME UFX. I tested it last weekend and I think its great. Probably not as good conversion as Omni, but better than the new Mbox Pro (wich I currently have) |

I can't see AVID only making interfaces for MAC's until Windows machine get into the Thunderbolt game. It took a while before Firewire was really adapted to Windows, and now apparently, FW drives don't work correctly in Windows. |

True but I think thunderbolt will be with pc's pretty quick too and probably by the time the interface is released but I could be wrong. They could make it fw800 or usb3 compliant too

Sony is already shipping laptops with LightPeak. The wide availability of practical LP peripherals will coincide with mass adoption by PC OEM's. Might as well start calling the interface buy its proper name also.
