Re: Avid @ AES 2011 - What's New
For what it's worth, a Sweetwater rep told me that if you get the new Eleven Rack bundle with 9 included, and register it, you will get a free upgrade to 10. But if you get the box with LE 8 in it, you will have to pay the $499 upgrade.
Choose your boxes carefully! |

Re: Avid @ AES 2011 - What's New
Those who think this (firmware update outdate potential) can't happen, remember firmware 2 was outdated within a version: http://www.avid.com/US/products/Elev...Expansion-Pack, which meant if you, like me, had a PPC which could not run v8.0.4 you could not update your firmware.
With this in mind, I don't see it being out of the realm of possibility. Still hope I'm wrong, 'cause I cannot afford this update now or in the foreseeable future. What's the ol' saying..., "Those who forget history are..." SQUIRREL!!!

Re: Avid @ AES 2011 - What's New
I just posted this on the ERU but might as well post it here too:
So: - if you buy Pro Tools 10 standalone: 599$ - Want to upgrade from PT8 LE: 499$ (like most of the Eleven Rack users on here) - Eleven Rack + Expansion + PT 10 + Ilok: 899$ ... So for 400$ extra, you get: An Ilok and another Eleven Rack (with expansion pack installed)

Re: Avid @ AES 2011 - What's New
I'm excited about new stuff, but feeling a bit overwhelmed. I hadn't upgraded to PT9 since I figured I better upgrade my computer from XP to Windows 7 first. I also felt that I needed to upgrade my Adobe software from CS4 to CS5, and then they came out with CS5.5. I'm a web designer and could use the new computer and new Adobe software to earn more money to upgrade my Pro Tools. BUT ... my wife and I work together at home ... she is also a web designer and needs a new computer and upgraded Adobe software. To top it all off ... we just resigned our main client (source of income for last 10 years) and are moving to Colorado Springs. So I think I may set up a Paypal account and start asking for donations

Re: Avid @ AES 2011 - What's New
Now you know why I've been saying that they will never release a standalone editor; it's just part of the insentive to keep you using ProTools. It's just their business model and it's extremely effective.
AVID isn't stupid, they are a business and not a charity so arguments about losing customers with no money is irrelevant to them...they want customers with money because that's how they stay in business and grow. I've been through all of this a million times on the video side of the house. It's not worth getting up in arms over. The only part that I'm a bit upset over is the fact that there is that suggestion page where everyone votes and nothing for 11R has been done and as far as we know it isn't going to either. I have a feeling that this will be a legacy item before there's an updated or another expansion pack. With all that said the thing works as good today as it did yesterday. |

Besides, making sure that the little guy knows his way around PT is always good business practice. That's why Oracle, one of the top corporate software companies in the world, lets anyone download their stuff for free. They know that the more people get acquainted with their products, the more large companies are likely to follow. Avid would be pretty stupid not to use the leverage they've already got with the 11R + PT bundle (which was a brilliant idea), IMHO of course. This isn't in any way a threat to Avid, far from it. It's just that I work as a Business Intelligence consultant and CRM (Customer Relations Management) is one of my areas of expertise, so in my understanding making every possible effort to avoid losing customers, even the small ones, seems pretty obvious. |

You could sell your 11R with ERXP for $400 to $500, then wait around for a promotion on an online retailer (10-20% off) and then purchase a new 11R with the ERXP and PT10. So in theory: Sell 11R with ERXP for $400 Wait for 20% off coupon Buy new 11R with ERXP and PT 10 for $899 - 20% = $720 - $400 (that you sold the 11R for) = $320. Thats a good deal if you are still on PT8 LE
