Re: Let's clear the air, folks...
So what if the upgrade to 9 was more significant you got a steal eleven months ago for it, so on the native side if you payed 300 to upgrade from 8 to 9 and then pay 300 from 9 to 10 you've payed a total of 600. which is the cost of the full version of pro tools at any store, 600. So to get a "NEW" version of pro tools, all the features aside from 64 bit that everyone has wanted cost you the price of new software, not so bad considering you got an open program for any 3rd party hardware, new plugin format, a road to 64 bit and everything else that comes in it.

So "maximum compatibility" sounds to me like there isn't better hardware or software out there. That makes it worth the price right there.

Re: Let's clear the air, folks...
So go get it..
The app is fantastic but it is also fantastically expensive Then you can lock that system down for at least 5 years to come. I did that with my Mix5 system. No problems at all... I have a DAW Computer and THAT is where I make music. That one stays where I predict that I can leave it. IF - I can update FINE.. I will.. IF I can't... Dont care - I'll lock it down when it is in a current state of stability. I used ProtoosMix5 5 or 6 years into the HD era... No problem. Was I unhappy... NO... Not music-wise.. Update-wise, I was bleeding, but that is because I am stupid and like the sheer fact of updating...

Also, even if not monetarily investing in the future releases of Pro Tools, you are still investing in it with your time and all the years you've spent learning it!

Re: Let's clear the air, folks...
What do you want, the software to be free and use it on anything you want? All this updating is to get to a software we all want. Sure it used to be cheaper but we had to by their hardware. You can't have the best for next to nothing. And don't tell me its not the best, if it wasn't you wouldn't be belly aching so much!

Respectfully...
If you sincerely need features in this field they're worth $300. |

Re: Let's clear the air, folks...
Then you might as well say they would be worth $1000. Or how about $10,000 while we're at it?!

Re: Let's clear the air, folks...
Yes I would pay that, if there is nothing else out there that does what Pro tools does with the same amount of effectiveness and ease and end product, then how could I put a price tag on it. But I'm also not stupid to think that I need to fall into the trap that just because they updated it or added minor features and call it an update that I have to have it. Why do they charge so much? Because they can and somebody will pay it. If I stay on 9 for say 5 years and saying they release an "updated" version every year and I finally buy Pro tools 14 for the full price of $600, That means I've spent a total of 900 to upgrade from 8. Lets say you or how bout John Doe buys an upgrade every year since version 8 all the way to 14 he has spent $1800. Who's the dumb one. I had a killer version of Pro tools with 8 I was happy had no problems my mixes sounded fantastic so on so forth and now I'm happy cause I have version 14, John aint so happy cause he's spent a [bleep][bleep][bleep][bleep] load more money than me and he spent all his time in this f@*#in community bitchin that he's spending to much, just so he can have the newer better toy than everyone else!
