Avid

Having jumped to the 11 wagon, I was disappointed by the adc issue, like
many other users out there. I expected bugs but not this, so I am back to using 10.

Also, there are rumours about Avid going under financially and about
key people abandoning ship (http://www.pro-tools-expert.com/home-page/2014/5/14/key-avid-people-move-to-gobbler.html

It might all be nothing, but then again, who knows ?

This is exactly what happens when companies don't listen to their engineers or customers.

It's been going on for a while I think

Yeah, avid has been "about to go out of business" for a decade+. We'll see what happens.
I'm sure avid's tenuous state played into the exodus but I wouldn't overlook the fact that startups love to lure top talent with huge salaries/beni's and it's likely the Avid guys wouldn't even need to relocate.

I have seen this coming since the time when they did not wanna go Native while it was more than obvious they were already behind trying to keep the DSP thing going on. It just couldn't work in the long term, and they lost a lot of time then. They are constantly behind in terms of functionality, or trying to cash in from them (having people pay for the number of tracks, stuff like that). They only survive because of the communality studios like to have with it, and the habits they got with PT. Without it, they are just making another DAW which implements functions years after the competition.

Now maybe this is not a big loss for Avid. These guys stayed a decade in the company, what if they were the reason why PT got downwards and the replacement guys have more of a down to earth envision ?

10 is totally unusable. 11 is incredibly efficient by comparison but it's still way behind other DAW's. It really only wins on editing.

11could have been great but the adc is just... well, a joke really.
It's the 1st time I've considered learning another daw after God knows how many years... no wonder the official reaper site says "refugees welcome".

Maybe if PT gets sold it'll have a better future - maybe a big change is actually needed.

Surprised to know they haven't been able to come up with an update yet. :Smug:

I don't know why there's so much hate for PT 11, I think it's awesome.

I've not used 11 yet but both 9 and 10 have served me well. I dare say flawlessly save the lack of offline bounce. Obviously YMMV.

Thanks man. Kind of you to say.

I mentioned PT11 but for the last 6 days I've been refraining from
mixing as the adc in 10 was completely off with VIs. Fortunately,
today, I found the solution in another forum…
going to prefereneces/midi tab and unchecking all 3 boxes in the adc for external devices makes it work again.

Also, for PT11, if the VI is on an audio track and you control+command click on "cmp" in mix view (turns blue), then it works ok.

Thanks,
T.
