Yeah coming next week. Friend of mine who is a beta tester wouldn't spoil too many surprises for me because of the NDA but he didn't not not not tell me that it would be hardware independent
It will definitely be interesting to see what they do with the software. I also saw somewhere that it would be more "open" in terms of plug-ins as well.
For once I'm actually quite optimistic. Yeah, I know we're talking about Avidesign here, but I still have some faith left in them
Same. I just wonder how they will cripple this release, if at all. Hoping for the best.
I have heard restless whispering about I/O counts and Toolkits.
If it is PTLE without an interface....fml.
I'm fairly optimistic as well. If they drop the hardware requirements and ad ADC I may perma jump ship (I have 8 now, and almost never use it).
Oh and the upgrade cost would have to be acceptable. Not willing to pay more than $150 to upgrade.
Where has the world come to when I actually think that a fully open native version of ProTools costing about 2000$ would actually be a really good price... Its just the whole stigma of Avid/Digi in this industry that leads me to think that it is actually acceptable when you've got a handful of other options that do the same or even more for 80% of the cost or something... It's really depressing, but if that happened, I'd probably jump on it :S
