Bad Penguin Posted April 26, 2022 Posted April 26, 2022 I'll stick with my Standard perpetual license, thank you too much! Subscriptions?! ?

This also is a subscription-only product for new customers and in several ways feels closer to Pro Tools Ultimate than the old Pro Tools Standard. My Standard perpetual license was converted to ProTools Studio perpetual and my update plans are still valid through Sept 2025. I imagine at some point they will un-grandfather my perpetual license but that's got to be 3 yrs and 5 months away. [EDIT] I just purchased 2 more years of updates at jrrship.com for $354.22 with code FORUM. I'm assuming that in Sept 2025 they would start charging me $299/yr so I got two extra years for ~$55 more than one year under the inflated current pricing scheme. Edited April 26, 2022 by Bapu 1 1

smallstonefan Posted April 26, 2022 Posted April 26, 2022 My subscription is up in a month. The move to perpetual doesn’t seem to make sense. Where is the cheapest renewals for subscription? I think it’s jrr shop but I am hoping someone is running a deal out there somewhere. I like Pro Tools. I resisted for years but now that I’ve switched and I use a pair of S1 control surfaces with the ssl UC2 channel controller between them for hardware I love love love it. I use Ableton for creating but then expert to PT to mix.

Only 14.75 a month, that's a good deal! If you think about it differently.. that's 6 Waves plugins @ $29.00 - You'll probably get more use out of Pro Tools ?

So what happens at the end of year 1 for me? I have to pay $299/yr for a subscription? AND (!) I also have to pay $199/yr for another year of updates and support? If you have a perpetual license, you will either need to renew support each year at $199.00 (historical cost), or if you do not renew, you can continue using your current version forever. If you later decide you want to get support again, there is a cost $349.00 (currently) for "Reinstatement" which includes one year of support. Edited April 27, 2022 by Barrie 1

Bapu Posted April 30, 2022 Posted April 30, 2022 (edited) On my 2012 MacPro (Catalina)I'm having troubles with ProTools Studio. So far it crashed on scan of NI RC-48. I deleted that plugin in all locations and then PTS crashed with 'nothing'. After I either click Save The Log or click Send To AVID, PTS just closes. In IT Crowd fashion I tried turning it off and on again. Now I got as far as Revalver IV and then PTS just closes with no error. I'm going to try to find out if this a known issue on Catalina and if so can I revert to ProTools Standard on my Mac. FWIW: On the PC no such problems. Edited April 30, 2022 by Bapu
Bapu Posted April 30, 2022 Posted April 30, 2022 PC Install is working just fine. Mac is my 'backup' machine so it's not a showsopper. FWIW ProTools Standard on the Mac never had these problems.
