I gathered as much, I was just joking about how going from PT11 to PT2016 skips version 12 through version 2015

No worries - didn't realise: it's still Friday the 13th in USA!

(it's Saturday arvo here in Oz).


Any way you look at it - have a top weekend!

(Bought my darling wife a gorgeous PlugIn for Valentine's Day - I'm sure she'll be tickled!)
Update: My wife bought me some of her favourite ice-cream!

I'm betting PT 12 will be the last version...

Whatever post-PT12(HD) is called, upgrading would benefit both the users and Avid's share-holders if these options were included:

(1) the current HD Upgrade options (Annual)

(2) PT HD Upgrade (5-Years)

(3) PT HD Upgrade (10-Years)


As it appears "high-end" users are Avid's prime market, introducing 5 or 10-Year Upgrades would remove all of the fear of being "locked in to a particular version" - encouraging users to invest in Avid hardware again.

They changed the splash screen already, I thought we had all assumed that PT12 would be the last version before the product line just becomes Pro Tools | Software. Maybe with a date to indicate the release.

What about Pro tools 2020 and 2021 and 2022?
I am wonder if can still upgrade 10 years from now.
I think the more important question that people should ask is why Avid is putting out crappy upgrades that last really good upgrade was PT 8.
From what I saw @ NAMM PT 12 offers no really amazing features that are useable.

Always have, always will.

There were only high-end users until 1999 when Pro Tools LE was introduced. If you remember those days, you could call that "crippleware" (max 18 i/o among other limitations) but then again I THINK that it was only released because educational institutes needed something cheaper to educate people who would then be buying the high-end system. I'm not sure if I'm right (just guessing) but it surely looks like it -- a system just big enough to get the courses going, but a tad too small for a real gig.

Today, the standard Pro Tools software is just as capable as a HD1 system in 2002 and IMO it's just simply amazing how much "standard" user gets today.

Not to mention the cost of entry is much less today for an HD rig than it was back then. $7k for HD Native plus HD I/O 16x16. Add in the computer of your choice, that's a really powerful small format system for less than 10 grand.

Unfortunately, that won't work "accounting wise".

While it does create "closed-end" service contracts, it also requires reserve amounts to cover future service be held longer than is practicable.

Understand the accounting, and you will understand all...
