    Just noticed that they've released Pro Tools Artist



    32 track limit and 16 tracks recording simultaneously. I don't get why DAW developers add restrictions like these nowadays :facepalm:
    Sure, it's certainly enough for most people just starting out recording music but it's just such a stupid restriction!

    Slowtools has been a money grab since far longer than "avid". It was the same bullshit when it was still Digidesign. (they were maybe even worse).

    I hope the users become smart and let avid goes to black hole. If we abandon this type of greedy policies of subscription models that is like a gun to your head business model then companies will not push this shitty trend down the throat.

    I hope avid sink like it deserves.

    We don't want it subscriptions.

    Because it's their replacement for Pro Tools First. People complained you couldn't make music with a limit of working on max 3 songs before having to delete one to make room in cloud storage, and not being able to use any 3rd party plugins at all (except Avid ones from the marketplace). So they discontinued the free tier and made a paid one that's barely adequate for a beginner.

    With Avid the best investment is the baseball cap.

    That's odd, their site says something different:

    Minimum System Requirements

    Mac:

    • Intel® Mac with macOS 10.14.6, 10.15.7, 11.6, 12.3 (PT 2021.12 and later with 2022.2 Plugins)
      (please find version specific qualifications in the macOS Compatibility Grid below)

    What is not “lame” ? Just my 5cents,I started using pro tools 12 years ago it was 8 le then hd,using built in eq7/air/smack etc every single day,sometime it’s a chart top songs (Ukraine) sometimes not. Pro tools is fu*ng expensive - yes,full of bugs - yes,any other problem - yes,but lame ??

    used on more billboard hits than you can imagine.

    the standards are standards for a reason and no matter how hard they are to crack someday r2r will manage it

    yes waves.. then pro tools stock plugins, mcdsp, sonnox are everything real industry professionals need. serban gheneas gearslutz thread confirmed this again and again. its just not a debate. its thus no wonder they are the hardest to crack.

    Things with Avid will only change if R2R takes action on Pro Tools by releasing it. If not, as is happening, abuses like this will continue on legit users.
