Dear Avid
Dear Avid: i'm sure you're working on the next version of ProTools and adding some exciting new features for all of us to use. And that's great! But there's only one feature that many of us request from the bottom of our hearts: make Pro Tools stable!! There's just too many unexplained shutdowns and other hangups that completely disrupt the workflow. And when you're under deadline, the last thing you have time to do is troubleshoot. So please, I'm begging you, hear what we're saying. Make Pro Tools stable. Thank you!!

Re: Dear Avid
Donald, with all due respect, maybe it's something on your end. I've got three systems running; crashes rarely happen; weirdness rarely happens. So what is the difference that makes my systems run fine and yours not?
I'm on Macs. HD Native card in one and HDX in the other. Native Thunderbolt for the third. PT 12.8. Yosemite or Sierra; doesn't matter. A ton of plug ins. Video engine running fine. When I see people with ProTools problems, I wonder if it's the ProTools or the system or whatever. Just letting you know that some here are running perfectly. If I can help you troubleshoot, let me know. Last edited by johnnyv; 07-23-2017 at 04:58 PM. |

Re: Dear Avid
This will be the 6th time we have created this thread, and we have become exceedingly efficient at it.
PS - Since you're a heavy VI user, almost any other DAW would be more stable. |

So to jump on and state your rig is stable is kind of useless and somewhat annoying. Then to question the way people have set their systems up is kind of rude. The fact of the matter is (And no one can argue with this); is that from Pro Tools 11 onwards it has been unstable and has had midi issues. End of story. And while we like cool new things, most of us just want to crack on and get the job out the door so our clients are happy; and we can get paid. Being on a perpetual licence and paying money EVERY year with instability is very upsetting. So thanks and glad your rig/s are so stable; good on you. You can carry on and no need for the forums. |

Hopefully one day we won't have to have threads like this. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Re: Dear Avid
threads like this show that things are working perfectly for avid: releasing buggy software all the years, very little new features (buggy too) and then there are more and more users that are willing to pay for bugfixes only

Re: Dear Avid
Hopefully we will have posts at all one day. The way things are moving now - PT Users are jumping ship like crazy. Where about 50% of my colleagues used to be on PT - 100% are now using other solutions - due to the very topic of this here little thread !

Re: Dear Avid
I too had to go back to 12.7.0. 12.8 just was not good. Performance was decent, but it froze a lot. And sometimes it would come out of the freeze on it's own after a minute, but most times I had to do a force quit. 12.7.0 is great!
