Re: AVID: One change that would help us like you a lot more.
Quick reply to all! I am just a customer. Yes, just a customer! I come from an era where "The customer was always right"! I'm an old man! I don't profess to be any kind of computer nerd. programmer or code writer! I signed on with Pro Tools, if memory serves, ver. 6, because I just wanted to record music! I was a musician in my former life. That's all I wanted! Pro Tools 12 is a nightmare for me! I was ok with ver.9 and then,in their never ending search for more money they had to go and spoil it! Does anyone know who sells multi track tape machines now days? The cost would probably be comparable to the amount I've spent with Avid and Sweetwater for compatible stuff and replacement of same as it is all temporary and destined to be obsoleted A.S.A.P.

Maybe one day we'll return to the only system proven to work, the one that created all those amazing records that have stood the test of time.........
musicians going to studios to be recorded by engineers, guided by producers. |

Re: AVID: One change that would help us like you a lot more.
The problem with Avid's PT model is that it penalizes the customer for leaving, instead of incentivizing them towards staying.
In people terms, its an abusive relationship |

Re: AVID: One change that would help us like you a lot more.
Then what does that say about customers who stay? Are you saying they have a type of battered wives syndrome? |

Re: AVID: One change that would help us like you a lot more.
In my case, I used to love Digidesign. Honest people full of passion to serve their Pro Tools users. There is no excitement in what Avid does. Zero, period! This has been going on since the name Digidesign became history.
It takes Avid at least 6 months to come up with an update associated with a new Mac OS. Pro tools Graphics engine is a thing of past. What about supporting Apple's Metal technology? This is a very long list of needs that Pro Tools users have in their heart. |

2 years ago I had a very long support case which concluded that a feature was there "by design" but agreed that the design made no sense. A Field Recorder search will not just return results where you've asked it too look, but additionally everything already in its memory, resulting in a dog's breakfast. This is crackers, and I've wasted days of my life working round it. All it needs is one checkbox - "don't include existing project media". I was told by the support man - who seemed very nice - that yes it made complete sense, no he couldn't think why it would always include project media and yes he'd put in a request with the coding team, but no I shouldn't hold my breath. It's on Ideascale, but... ya know. Ach, sorry, its becoming another General Rant thread and I'm not helping. But as others have said, I think we've essentially lived through 2 or 3 years of very slim pickings because Avid's management decided to save money by outsourcing, and throw hard-pressed resources into the cloud that almost nobody wants. But to end on a more positive note... being new year an all... just lately I do see some signs of hope. It would be lovely if they continue make some serious effort to repair the damage in customer relations. Dropping the reinstatement punishment would be a terrific step forward.

I've used a Tascam as well, and while it had some MIDI problems with the last few Sierra updates, it's been perfect in PT with High Sierra. |
