What next?
So now that AVOID have taken 2 years to "invent" Dropbox, despite the fact that nobody gives a &/%$ what will be the next thing that we have to rent on top of our subscriptions for even more dollars to finance Hernandez firing developers?

Re: What next?
Calm down, this thing is huge. When I first heard about it in the summer of 2014 I couldn't just believe what I just heard. Now it is a reality. This is a 1.0 Cloud Collaborating software so let's just learn what there is for me (or you) specifically. I'm already liking it (though initial releases might have more bugs than we'd tolerate but give it some time just like 64bit PT software and AAX plugins)

Re: What next?
More noise blast fixes, that don't fix the blasts, but initially give people enough incentive to buy into another year of b/s.

Re: What next?
i have to agree with @tention on this.
and for a "1.0" surely there should have been audio streaming between collaborators. that seems like a basic requirement - even if it's limited audio quality, and for reference purposes only. for a release more than a decade later than everyone else has it, this is a lame duck. |

Just the other day I was making changes for a project (session in oldskool thinking) when the other guy was about going to go to sleep. Few quick changes, get the job done, period. No need for myself to take a 10 hour time difference flight that takes at least 16 hours (plus border check) one way and costs many thousands. So 3 days compared to 3 minutes. Great or not? Not to mention I saved thousands of dollars by not traveling. Agreed this was a test gig, but nevertheless, this is what it's going to be.

Re: What next?
The cynic in me says it's just another way of Avid trying to increase their revenue by becoming cloud storage hosts. http://www.avid.com/en/avid-cloud-co...-tools/pricing
Nothing wrong with that of course from a business point of view, but kind of annoying if this takes priority over improving or creating new audio/editing related features. Can't say it's really for me. I've been mixing for international clients for years using yousendit /Hightail / wetransfer etc, without having to get on any planes, or indeed even leave my studio. |

Re: What next?
Sorry guys, I have no idea how well those work. But this one (Avid CC) seems to be working pretty well given it's a 1.0 software. Avid wasn't the first, but when I first time heard about it (summer 2014) there wasn't a comparable product.
It isn't perfect, at least for now. I myself found that local project cache may corrupt and when it does it forces PT to quit unexpectedly. It took some time to find out that deleting local project cache forces PT to have an empty session and download the stuff again. All of this should improve in time. My #1 feature request at this time would be separating Artist Chat to separate application, like Application Manager, so that whenever you're traveling without iLok, you could still have the artist chat.
