Re: took the plunge to pt10
Hi Guys, Have you guys let Avid know about the stuff that is not working yet? especially The channel strip? The Squeaky wheel gets the voiceOver working! :) YMMV Chuck On Nov 2, 2011, at 10:25 AM, Monkey Pusher wrote: Bummer, i recently purchased an upgrade as well mainly since lion is on all my macs and i was hoping it would bring an end to the ocasional crash or other issue i have with 9.05 on lion.

Re: took the plunge to pt10
Well I haven't even received my authorization card for 10 in the mail yet, so i haven't even downloaded and installed it yet. Cuirous to know if clip based gain is accessible though.

Re: took the plunge to pt10
Hi: I couldn't agree more. THis was very similar to the situation I had with cakewalk. And, yes, it is more important to get access to things like the midi event view. I think that if we can get a handle on the controller implementation for a lot of these plugs we'll be able to get them working for us. I for one would never want to do anything that could jeopardize our relationship with avid. I was just surprised more than anything since I had assumed that more aspects of the program were written in coco rather than carbon and they were going over to 64 bit anyway which means that stuff has to be recompiled, the level of access wasn't better than it is. Frankly, you probably can do just as well chaining effects together anyway.

Speaking of which, you may recall that we all came up with a priority list which I personally delivered to them. Channel Strip is a nice thing to which I'm sure many of us would like to have access but there are more important things on that priority list. Further, when you use the cliche that the squeaky wheel gets the grease, this implies that we should all be calling Avid and complaining. I assure you that this is absolutely not the way to handle the issue of Pro Tools compatibility with VoiceOver. Instead of having an organized front with which there is precedent and actual success, this community of blind Pro Tools users will appear disjointed and uninformed. Further, the last thing in the world that should happen is for multiple people at Avid to have to hear someone on the phone bring up things that may or may not be issues. If this happens, I assure you, we'll eventually be ignored. As a person who's invested several thousand dollars solely for the purpose of establishing some sort of relationship with the folks at Avid in order to help make Pro Tools accessible, I surely want to see more progress just as much, if not more, than the next person but I'm sure that having people calling Avid in a haphazard manner is not the answer.
