Pro Tools 9 announced today - works with 3rd party interfaces!

neat stuff.

my beef w/ digi was always the limitations with the LE hardware, but i liked the s/w too much to switch. very excited by tonight's announcements.

The upgrade cycle continues ...

Any chance PT 9 will import an OMF without needing to spend more $ to get that basic functionality.

i like PT but AVID has been screwing its customers for years.

Good to see they did this. But it should be clear that PT9 is not the full version, it's LE with some additions. To get the full PT requires spending an additional $1995 for a "Complete Production Toolkit" that adds the missing features like surround sound, video features, etc.

Yes, that's another thing they've sorted. Looks like they've finally started listening to their customers...

That makes me really cross. In September I needed the ability to import OMF's into Pro Tools 8 and had to pony up $500 for the privilege ...

I sent them an email pointing out that it was basic functionality provided in pretty much every other pro audio app out there ...

It's like Digi/AVID signed a bunch of bad deals and has made consumers pay ever since.

Glad the madness looks like it's abating for the time being at least. I hope for customers that AVID's stranglehold on Pro Audio is broken further and we see a new era of co-operation between the major DAW's.

Cheers.
