Pro Tools 12.6

[Jcalla]

I hope they included some of those bug fixes we've been patiently waiting for.

Or at least that the new features don't screw things up even more...

How do you all feel about this ?

What the license effectively does is to turn on the DigiLink ports on an HD Native or HDX card. If you don’t have a valid DigiLink I/O License then your HD interfaces, irrespective of what brand they are, including Avid, will not work once you are running Pro Tools 12.6."

It would be great if the decrease in HDX card prices creates a meaningful uptick in the user base that encourages AVID and others for more AAX-DSP development.

Good point. We can only hope.

Here's an interesting question: Will Vanilla work w/ and HDX card? That would be really cool... But I'm guessing the answer is, no.

So, if I have purchased a Native or HDX card from someone prior to Avid officially "allowing" the cards to be non-bundled with hardware (which I'm sure A LOT of people have), then if I upgrade to 12.6, my DigiLink ports on my cards will NOT work unless I fork over an extra $299?

Please correct me if I'm wrong.

You're wrong.

If you read further, if you're already on the update plan you'll get the license for free. My understanding is it applies to HD and vanilla users.
