Enough of Avid

I'm the same. I always find a bug. One day something will work flawless and then the next day one of my favorite plug ins will always crash pro tools.

Unfortunately I suspect that they don't really care that such people are now endorsing the competition, because Avid don't feel that the type of customers it brought their way were a significant revenue stream (Kenny's videos may have helped sell a few copies of PT, but they probably just made him some money from people who had already spent all the money they ever would with Avid).

I don't think Avid will ever do anything differently, until one of the major Hollywood studios decides to go with one of Avid's competitors during a re-fit (and that's not likely to happen in the next 5 years).

Yeah I don't think either. Big production studios use pro tools and it takes time and dedication to use it. Unfortunately I don't want to spend my time and I don't have the dedication to master midi on pro tools

You're spending your time here right now, so you kind of have dedication...

Of course, all of them. PT have great ergonomics. I think it's simpler design is the best out there. And the image is crisp. Simple and concise. I like that I can mix directly on main page without feeling inconfortable. Also I like that everything is in plugin form, not embedded in mixer until it looks like a Christmas Tree. The sound is excellent also. There are a lot that can be done, but basically is ok as it is.

Not one - that's why fewer and fewer people are using ProTools!

We too 'jumped' to Reaper a few years ago. Notation, flawless elastic audio, video editing, infinite routing, multi-channel output in any format, 500 FX, different file formats within one project, the list just goes on and on.

Maching ADR takes to lips movements in Reaper takes seconds. It's even faster than Nuendo, as you don't have to open an edit window. Three clicks, one move and you are done!

We still have PT, but given the latest news from the front, I can't see us investing in any upgrades ever.
