Re: Control|24 and ProControl with Pro Tools 11?
Hello to our loyal Pro Mixing customers…
We can’t thank you enough for making Pro Tools and Avid Pro Mixing consoles and control surfaces your choice for audio production. But if you’re a Control|24 or ProControl owner, there are a few things we want you to be aware of. As many of you have noted, we did not release Control|24 or ProControl drivers for Pro Tools 11. We’re sorry if this has impacted you and your plans to upgrade to Pro Tools 11 or Pro Tools|HDX. We would love to support all hardware forever, but the technology in these control surfaces is over 12 years old, and the time it would take to develop and thoroughly test firmware upgrades to meet current Pro Tools performance specifications would severely impact our ability to ship products and deliver the new feature innovations. We released Control|24 in January 2001 and had a final sale date in December 2007, at which time we announced that we would support it for five more years. Since its original release with Pro Tools 5.1, we have supported Control|24 through 139 versions of Pro Tools—45 of which came after we stopped selling the surface (and not with a trivial amount of effort). ProControl had even more support since its release with Pro Tools 4.2 back in June 1998. Both control surfaces still work with Pro Tools up through the latest 10.x version which can run co-installed side by side with Pro Tools 11 (Pro Control is officially supported up through PT8). To my knowledge, we are one of the only manufacturers of technology hardware that offers its customers an upgrade path to newer hardware. We currently offer Control|24 owners the opportunity to move up to C|24 for $6,399 retail—a $3,600 discount off the retail price. We will honor this same upgrade opportunity and pricing to our ProControl customers. Thank you for your support and understanding. Tom & Avid Pro Audio Team

Re: Control|24 and ProControl with Pro Tools 11?
Thank you Tom for your post, unfortunatley it won't make me spend twice the price of other PT users to upgrade my PT10 HD2 system with my Control 24 to a HDX system. To jump from one unsupported controller system to another which will be likewise dumped in a few years is frankly thinking we were born with more than a little bit missing!!
When many of us have build our studios around our centre piece controllers a C24 just is a retrograde step and I would think that that from Pro Control owners the feeling might be just a bit stronger!! What you have done with the Control 24 and Pro Control users is shown that all your controllers have a finite life of about 10 years from release for updates. When you consider the investment required over this period many will choose not to invest, is this really the message you wanted to communicate. Sounds that you have just killed many potential sales just because you won't produce 2 64 bit drivers, so to save a few dollars you have lost ten of thousands. It's a hard message in reply, but I hope you understand the strong feeling, the financial mountain is just too great for the miminal improvement. cheers Scotsman |

Re: Control|24 and ProControl with Pro Tools 11?
Can any owners of currently-supported controllers (eg. D-Command, C|24, HUI, etc etc) confirm that they were forced to update their firmware when they first launched Pro Tools 11?
