Re: ProTools price adjustments from July 1st.
To me the choice is clear since I have a perpetual license.
If I never pay a dime for PT support again, perpetual means I should still be able to open my last session. I won't get updates, but all my content is still available. If I convert that perpetual license to a rental/subscription, my content is available to me only as long as I continue renting. One glitch or whatever and I am locked out of my own productions whether it's my fault or not. I was a user of the mastering software Triumph. Last month, there was some sort a disagreement with the founders. Instantly, the servers were cut off that would have allowed my to enable my license on a new computer. Cut off completely now from a product I paid for. I will renew PT for a year at least. I have to. Probably more since I started on PTIII and have a lot of media stored away. It's good practice to store all sessions in exported stems anyway. I will be making sure that is done from here on out. This appears to be the best marketing move imaginable for Avids competitors. |

Re: ProTools price adjustments from July 1st.
Meanwhile, Slate just announced a motherload of an update all while keeping the price the same.

Re: ProTools price adjustments from July 1st.
I am not giving up my permanent license. 200.00 a year is really pushing it for PT vanilla. I can easily freeze my system for a very ...long...time.. which would end up saving me quite a bit of money as I could stop updating my plugins as well. 9.99 a month for trading in my permanent license isn't a good deal at all considering that I was only paying 100.00 a year before. Now I could drop off for 5 years or so and really save money AVID! Tempting.

Re: ProTools price adjustments from July 1st.
Do you think your clients would be happy with a 100% price increase tomorrow morning? For no reason? I doubt it. Why should we 'be happy' about it?

Re: ProTools price adjustments from July 1st.
A whole bunch of crap I will probably never use but some may find it useful. Access to a bunch of tutorials and sessions from industry heavyweights and 28 new plugins.

Re: ProTools price adjustments from July 1st.
I haven't seen any meaningful additions to Pro Tools since version 12.4. I think Avid will drive current users to other DAWs with the price increase for Pro Tools Standard. I am already starting to look!

I might have to capitulate and go to subscription, in like 5+ years of not paying for updates. That is a savings of 1000 to 1400 dollars just in PT costs. What a great plan you have AVID! |

Re: ProTools price adjustments from July 1st.
You all might want to insure yourselves over possible "incompatibility" for future versions of Windows. It might already be in there for 2019.5. Guess I will download some earlier versions just in case they "disappear".

Re: ProTools price adjustments from July 1st.
So basically the idea is to induce everyone to move to the subscription because every other option is extremely opaque and expensive?
$199 annual renewals for the perpetual license is an absolute joke. |
