![]() ![]() Thanks to the fade manipulation, you can create easy cross-fades. If the start and endpoints overlap, you can tandem trim the beginning and end of two clips at the same time. You also have a handy indicator that lets you know if you start writing over a clip. You can name tracks and clips in batches, and you can edit your work with layered overlapping tracks, so you won't lose an overlapped clip if you edit. Tracks are easy to locate with a scrolling function, so you won't get lost. Pro Tools has a new 'Name field' function. You have 128 tracks at a resolution of 44.1/48kHz, and up to 32 channels to use simultaneously. You can use the track freeze and track commit commands to decide what's important and free up resources. No matter how big a project is, it performs optimally. It benefits from a pro-level 64-bit audio engine for epic memory management. You can access everything from the main window, and editing is done in-line without separate windows popping up left, right and center.Īvid has ditched the older plug-in formats to make way for a new AAX plug-in architecture on offer to provide latency compensation. Pro-tools is a two window user interface for ease of use. Avid have geared all changes to making the production process easier than analog and hardware options. ![]() Every development has been purely practical. The company has worked hard over the years to tweak the software so that it functions seamlessly. I think as a company they would rather everyone used the subscription model but for me I only update my Pro Tools every 2 years or so, and was on 10.3 for about 5 years.Pro Tools from Avid remains one of the best computer-based digital recording options in existence, with a workflow efficiency that is unbeatable. And what I dont know is that if you dont reinstate the license does that mean to get the most recent version do you need to buy a brand new perpetual license? They would supply me with temporary licenses which would last sometimes 3-5 days and on my request to have it extended as the issue was not solved yet it would be radio silence for sometimes a day to three days.Īnyway, in a nut shell, what I was led to believe is that you can get an upgrade and support plan and that should work, but reading the comments here someones said that you need a reinstatement plan which you need to reactivate every year which (to me) sort of defeats the purpose of a perpetual license. I completely lost faith in Avid as a company after that experience. Truth be told after that amount of time talking to them I dont think they have any idea about how their licenses work unless it is a subscription, which they tried to get me to use countless times. My 'Pro Tools' Perpetual license was the one which disappeared so I was unable to open any sessions and after a month and a half of back and forth with Avid they eventually reinstated my license, and told me if I was to purchase the 'upgrade and support' package from a third party seller I should then choose my old Pro Tools 10/11/12 license to upgrade and that would work. I could run PT 10.3 which was what I used for a long time before upgrading to 12, and then a year and a half ago to 2021.3 I had a Pro Tools 10/11/12 License (how it showed up on my iLok) and one that just was called Pro Tools Perpetual They still don't have an answer for it, but anyway. Not sure if it will help but here's my recent story on this,Īt the start of the year I had a 2 month period where my Pro Tools perpetual license just disappeared, and went through such a tedious experience speaking to multiple people from Avid trying to get my license to come back.
