Sorry but Subscriptions is a Bad idea

[hattom]

Hi
I have Pro Tools 11 and I didn't like Subscriptions ,
I can't pay $200 every year , i am home user .
So I thinking now to leave the Pro Tools in the feature and starting with Logic it cost $200 forever , and they use your Subscriptions in there advertising .
Really , My opinion : Subscriptions its bad idea and you will lost more costumer whom can't pay $200 every year ( like me )
hope you change it to regular price for home user
Thanks

Me too. Highly considering switching to reaper with the pro tools skin/mod. Too bad avid.

As a logic user it's not $200 forever. They no longer have upgrade pricing. You get "." updates free but the next major Logic update will cost another $200. Good thing is Logic only does major updates every three to five years

LE users should grab Logic in a second. Do a monthly rental of LE if you need to do transfers.

I do not see any difference. Just like you updated to 11 (I assume) you can "update" to PT12 and stop there. During the year Your Subscription is valid you will get all updates (including New function and bug fixes) After you subscription period is over you can use Your Version of PT12 for the rest of Your life and still get bug fixes if they are released (just like there has been bug fixes for both V. 10 & 11 during the past year).

D,ont forget, if you DO NOT PAY the 199 after the year is finished if you want a new version you have to pay 899 full price for the new version. At this time no other Daw,s are like that.

Seriously, if ProTools isnt worth it to you, use another DAW. It's not a complicated decision.
