See, that's the other thing. You mention about Mountain Lion. That's to be
released this Summer hopefully. I have heard nothing about PT compatibility
with it.
I dono...
Actually, I finally heard back from Sweetwater, and they are now even telling
me after doing much research, there is nothing that they can do either. We're
kind of at the mercy of Avid. Well, Avid says they won't do anything, so... I
guess I'm just F***ed.

Hi Chris and others,
First of all let me say I am happy for you Sweetwater is doing it's best for
your problem.
then the Pro Tools 10 plugin troubles, this is quite a bummer, haven't read
anything about this before either. Very bad, instead of expanding accessibility
it has become less. Wrong way for sure. Avid had to be aware of this, but was
probably the only option for them. Of course this is still very bad for us.
A petition doesn't seem to be the best thing to do at the moment, don't think
we will get through to Avid this way. Better let Slau bring it to their
attention.
On the other hand I don't think Avid is taking us very seriously to be
honest…. When came 8.04 out, two years ago?
I ain't upgrading to 10 just yet either. 9 is fully Lion compatible right?
How about Mountain Lion?
Just my humble opinion.
cheers,
Ronald

I second your thoughts here.
I think before I completely say nothing's being done, it doesn't seem to
appear that way, I'll gladly admit, but who knows. I'm not an Avid engineer.
O? K, you'd think they would have tested this more thoroughly in our defense,
but...
Yeah, I think you get the point.
I so would like to hear Slau's opinion on the new 10.2's accessibility, and
moving forward what we're hoping to do to get to the bottom of this.
I did speak to Christopher Geissler over at Sweetwater, and he was very
prompt at getting right on things. He got a few e-mails shot off to some of
the real high up guys in Avid, apparently, plus, he said there is a guy who
works at Avid who's in the SW building about 3 days every week, so he said he'd
sit down today over lunch with the guy and discuss my situation, and see what
could be done.
In Mr. Geissler's defense, I think he's doing an absolutely fabulous job at
taking ownership of this case to the best of his ability.
Chris.

Hi all,
ok, this is just an idea, maybe we should consider all
advices/opinions/ideas before start this important petition…
I would be really interested in Slau's opinion, because we can consider
him as the most experienced person in having relationships with Avid; I read
his opinion about accessibility development in pt some weeks ago and I agreed
enough…But what about this new situation?
If things are really as they seems to be (I trust everyone, but I think I
am the least-experienced pt user and I cannot give good advices about this
problem) this is really a nightmare for every blind protools user…
On the other hand, however, I have to say that 2 or 3 days ago Chuck
talked about some midi-features that he uses with protools…So is this a new
pt-feature became accessible in PT 10? Or what else? Or did I misunderstand
everything?
Let's consider much more ideas first, after that we could decide how to
create the petition (I already have an idea! ;)).
This is just my advice, I hope it was clear and understandable and, most
of all, I hope this message isn't offensive to anyone; if it is I hope you can
excuse me…My English isn't so good and sometimes I am not able to say what I
really would like to!
Vincenzo.

I totally agree! Slau? What is your advice seeing you are working
very heavily, apparently with them on accessibility issues. Oh, and thank you
for that by the way. NO seriously, I'm not being sarcastic, I really genuinely
mean it.
I'd be happy to start the petition, but where then do I take it
when we get enough sigs?
BTW, would you also believe I can't even go back to mp9. I
forfitted my M-Powered 9 ilok license when I got pt 10. Avid refuse to help
when I called them. All they gave me was get another ILok, and get another mp9
license which we can sell you.
I wanted to say every word in the english book to them at that
point plus spit in their face! How dare! they say that to me, after all the
effort I put forth to get PT in the first place. I don't think my church would
be very happy at all seeing they're the ones who paid for both my macbook, and
my ProTools to start with, if they found out about this. If anyone has mp 9.05
and isn't using it, and is willing to transfer their asset, as they've
upgraded, may I add, with another iloc so as not to lose the 9.0 asset, let me
know. I may wind up having no choice.
I'm warning you all now: 10.0 still works to a point, although
there are some noticeable problems. Not many, but just enough for me to be
deal breakers. Speaking a which, no one ever told me that PT 10.2 took more
ram than mp9. Seeing I only got 2GB, and cannot afford to upgrade? I barely
could afford the 3 easy payments through Sweet Water to Crossgrade to PT 10,
let alone, that.
I just hope my agent there can think of something to do in order to
compensate for my loss, as I'm one angry! son of a gun right about now!
Chris.
