Then don't look at any other pro audio stock either.

Us sound engineers are an inventive bunch. I'm sure that there is the talent out there for an inventive solution.

My old HUI controller was EOL'd when 64bit Windows came along and they refused to port the drivers. Thankfully it's built like a brick outhouse so the need for spares is less. I put together a RTPMidi box on a old 32bit laptop and now have happy motoring again. I have no idea of Radikal's stock price and I don't care, especially as they haven't made this kit for a decade.

Like I said before Avid should just release the drivers (beta) and say here you go you're on your own. They know we're 'between a rock' because sooner or later there will be no upgrade path from PT10. That's the part that stinks. I would upgrade to PT11 now to keep up (still wouldn't use 11 day to day).
It will really suck if say PT12 becomes an incompatible format (.ptz or something)
Say what you want but it's a dumb decision on their part. I would imagine you want to sell as many copies of PT11 as possible...

I have neve channel strips that were built in the early 80's and they sound awesome. I've just sent them to an Neve tech in the UK and he has restored them to their original spec...cost me £200 and change. These babies are priceless !

Avid have deliberately abandoned part of their customer base. The stock is not down because they won't support the Control 24 anymore...the stock is down because their earnings growth prospects have shrunk....full stop. the stock market couldn't care less about product support or upgrade paths...they look at earnings growth and nothing more. I'm in the business for 30 years and I can be certain about this.

So Avid screwed me as a result of their business decision...they lost me as a repeat customer as they have lost many others. As an analyst for stocks, I can predict that Avid as a company is a losing venture and its only a matter of time before someone buys them out to gain access to their proprietary software and hardware (not so much). Just like Avid bought Digidesign...so too will someone else buy Avid when its cheap enough to make sense as an acquisition...

Given the horror stories about PT11...I'm perfectly happy with my PT10 and Control 24...it was good enough when I upgraded from PT9 and I see no reason to let it go. It WORKS !

Default Control|24 and ProControl with Pro Tools 11?

I thought I'd throw this out. I know some of you already saw this. In my drop down menu with my 003 I saw the C/24 and others in my drop down menu. Oh yeah. 11.1.2. Am I wrong? Why would that be there? Don't have time to read the post for the next year. Hope it works for you all.

I believe the newer c|24 is supported. It's the control 24 and older that isn't.

No worries. I could be mistaken. And while I know that avid has stated EOL dates as their reason for dropping support. I can't imagine making the control 24 work would be very difficult seeing as the c|24 does. Anyways...

Here's a "rumor" that looks very promising. Seeing as I'm already slowly switching over this is icing on the cake. And once they add midi in v3 of mixbus that makes it a very promising alternative for pretty much anyone. At least IMHO.

It becomes very difficult if you are dealing with computer chips that are no longer produced and things like that.

Check out this thread...I and many others have pointed out many reasons why it can be difficult...

Just rockin'...what more is there?
