Screw you Avid, i hope you go bankrupt

Avid stock has dropped 50 cents since this thread started. Coincidence?

Yea Relevant was the wrong word choice, It's just seems to Lack any fanfare around it, any buzz, or really huge updates. I guess thats just how it rolls. Still find some of the lacking features it has to be eye opening. Like no Folders.

Well, we're on kvr. It's not like you can modulate a midi clip six ways to sunday in PT like you can in live or bitwig or whatever. PT doesn't have the decades of midi under the hood that other sequencers do, either. The midi/synth nerd just isn't Avid's market. If you went to "the purple place", you'd probably see more to-do about PT than, say, bitwig. But here, i am not surprised that it doesn't get much hype, though i know that there are some regular users about.

In terms of missing features...sometimes, they seem to be constrained by hardware (like, say, latency compensation...available in cubendo since y2k-ish). Other times, they just seem happy to let other companies deal with the teething pains of new tech before they roll out that feature in a more refined way. Not a stupid policy. They may not get hype, but they don't get the flak, either.
Re: lack of folders...your guess is as good as mine!

Fair enough.
But yea the lack of folders is genuinely shocking.
No curved automation.
No native pitch editor.
Does it Have Ara? I haven’t kept up with it much.

I mean I want to like it. I spent 500$ for it and I took it for 2 years in an audio engineering class so I know it as well as any program but its hangups become so aggravating.

That being said being a Midi Guy with a makeshift Home studio I don’t have gigantic hardware that intergrates effortlessly with the program so that explains partially.


And I will admit it’s my favorite daw to Mix in,
Don’t know why, familiarity?

You might need this if you're going to be doing some screwing.
