Pro Tools LE go to the grave?
Logic, Live, Reason, everything works almost perfectly Snow Leopard.
ProTools still falling. What are the performance of the worst. He thinks too avid to us, or you have to seriously ProTools LE funeral (where the new update?)? It is the best music program I've ever met. Shame. Oh boy |

Re: Pro Tools LE go to the grave?
When artificially crippling why not artificially bugging? Updates (read paid upgrade) seem to be used to pull users ahead in the version number war ... Uh oh, I am getting paranoid all over again with that big money milking...

Re: Pro Tools LE go to the grave?
Well I have said before if Pro Tools Was only LE. Meaning no TDM. Avid (Digidesign) would be out of Business.
-No ADC -Buffer Issues -Latency -Garbage Interfaces -Horrible VI integration -No Offline bouncing Feel free to add to the list |

Plenty of us making money with LE, mate. Interface is the same as HD for the most part, I have no latency problems, and I can add to that list, as well.

Re: Pro Tools LE go to the grave?
From what I can tell, Logic is the ONLY DAW out there capable of integrating VI's to the kind of capacity I need as film composer to work. But even those kinks have not all been worked out. DP, Cubase, Sonar, etc all come to their knees eventually, as does LE. The solution, for the forseeable future, is to keep as many VI's outside of pro tools as possible, either via programs such as VSL's new Vienna Ensemble Pro or via the use of external slave PCs (I have both elements in place to keep LE behaving).
So knowing LE's quirks, I don't find it all that bad. I actually love the midi editing and Sibelius workflow I can get, for the most part. Though it took me til I bought an 8 core mac pro to be able to say that. Perhaps I'd have been happier as a Logic user - who knows. But I'm addicted to Pro Tools LE now. And for what it's worth, I would never shell out the money for an HD system to use solely as a composing rig. It's a preposterous amount of money. I would switch to Logic or DP first (still might, depending on how things go with updates). For post sound and mixing work, though, obviously HD is the way to go (and the folks I hire have HD. So all is well.)

Well, that's just it. Pro Tools isn't only LE. And in fact, LE was designed to be their consumer, not professional system. Just so happens that with CPU power increasing exponentially as it has, professionals are using LE. Believe me, the high-end pro market is HEAVILY invested in PTHD systems, a fact not likely to change in the near future. Personally, my LE system is doing quite well for me. I'm able to do most everything I need to do in it, and presently, it's completely stable. The latency argument is moot at this point. I'm recording mostly at a hardware buffer of 32 samples, 64/128 when I NEED to raise it. Which isn't often. ADC? Well, there are work-arounds for that though it should be added. But, bottom line, if you really need it, there's other DAW's that have it. Use one of them. While nothing is perfect, PT's work-flow is getting it done for me. I think it's going to improve as well. And I do use my system professionally BTW...

Another rant to add to the archives... Although of course everyone is entitled to their opinion...

Re: Pro Tools LE go to the grave?
You’re right KB.
But looking at things from Avid's point of view, I would have to ask the question... When do we deliver ADC as an inclusion in a paid upgrade or toolkit? They must realize the revenue this cash cow would generate.
