To use HEAT on your current project, perhaps this Trial version will work, because you're using Pro Tools 2019.6.
Please note it says you’ll need an HD version of Pro Tools.
If it doesn’t work (because it’s coupled to HD only), that implies the coming $199 HEAT may have a different Installer. Which is why I previously mentioned I hope all restrictions (like having HEAT on the same iLok as Pro Tools) will be lifted.

Worth a go, anyway!

HEAT 30-DAY TRIAL
https://www.avid.com/support/trialdownload/HEAT
“The trial version of HEAT will run with full functionality for 30 days following installation. You’ll need a Pro Tools|HD system running Pro Tools HD 8.1 or higher software and an iLok USB Smart Key to try HEAT. (A free update to Pro Tools HD 8.1 is available to all registered Pro Tools HD 8 owners.)
Please complete the form below and submit it to access the link to download your trial software. Be sure to provide your iLok User ID, so we can deposit your 30-day license into your iLok account (please allow 15 minutes from the time you submit this form to receive your trial license).”

I would think HEAT or PT needs a new version for HEAT to be recognized on Non HD as it would have worked already for others and we would have seen that but hope I am wrong although I am pretty sure HEAT needs a ”lockup” somehow as it basically will have worked with non HD all along otherwise.

Thanks for posting if nothing eventuates I’ll give it a look.

I just found out that the news about the price drop was not officially issued by Avid but over on PTE......that explains it.
Hope you get some good results with the True Iron

That bloke Mike Thornton over at PTE reckons he got notice of this deal from Avid themselves? So it’s BS?

Tried it on a couple of sessions just adding as the first plug in my mastering chain (as suggested in the manual) with some very pleasant results and have left it in place. Along with a bit of warmth seems to apply a bit of push too... to my ear it also seems make individual components stand out better like It adds space (for want of a better word) which I feel is a nice enhancement. Puts a bit of sizzle into your dirty guitar which I didn’t like if you go a lil bit heavy but noticed at the same time was doing wonderful things to the bass guitar.... didn’t have time to apply it separately on tracks but will go back and try.

Here is the reply to my post in that PTE article from Mike Thornton.....

. We got it straight from the horse's mouth. It will happen at the same time as Pro Tools subscribers get the Complete Plugin Bundle and HEAT included with their rental subscription and Pro Tools Ultimate subscribers get HEAT included with their rental subscription, however the exact timeframe was the only thing that wasn't specified.

Ah that old chestnut again, always chomping at the bit that horse with no name.
I,m happy to hear the news, its just that i would like to hear it directly from Avid or the DUC as it starts the rumour mill going.

I haven’t had much experience with PTE or the articles on there. The first I’ve been there was when the link to this story was posted. So I wouldn’t know if this bloke likes to or has a tendency to spruik BS. Thanks for the heads up ill keep away from whatever this bloke has to say in future.

Add that sometimes the plans change after "the horse" has already spoken. IOW nothing is sure until it happens IRL.
