00:00 - 00:03 | Well here we are again... |
00:04 - 00:05 | ...it's mid-April 2019... |
00:05 - 00:07 | ...and yet... |
00:08 - 00:12 | ...the current Pro Tools release is 2018.12 |
00:12 - 00:15 | and we are still fixing bugs. |
00:17 - 00:19 | When we can't keep up with... |
00:19 - 00:21 | Studio One Pro, Logic, Cubase and other DAWs |
00:24 - 00:26 | The guys from Pro Tools Expert... |
00:27 - 00:28 | ...just wrote a blog titled... |
00:31 - 00:33 | "How We Would Change The Product Strategy If We Were Avid" |
00:34 - 00:36 | They say there is a fault line running through the Pro Tools product line. |
00:53 - 00:58 | Product managers stay behind, the rest leave the room. |
01:13 - 01:15 | You call this innovation? What about plugins and Vis! |
01:15 - 01:17 | We can't even get ARA going for Melodyne integration |
01:18 - 01:23 | And why can't I click and drag on the timeline to zoom in and out? |
01:25 - 01:28 | We cheaped out by hiring developers from East Europe... |
01:29 - 01:31 | Our headquarters is in Burlington, Massachusetts! |
01:31 - 01:34 | We don't even support Mac OS Mojave yet! |
01:34 - 01:37 | And our last two CEOs robbed us blind! |
01:37 - 01:40 | We haven't put out hardware in years! |
01:40 - 01:42 | Even after the success of the Eleven Rack! |
01:42 - 01:46 | AAX DSP plugins? Who makes them? |
01:46 - 01:48 | Not Waves! So why not support SoundGrid? |
01:48 - 01:52 | You can't even import FLAC or Apple m4a into Pro Tools |
01:53 - 01:54 | And you still need a wrapper to use VST3 or AU plugins! |
01:56 - 01:57 | Have we put out any cool videos on YouTube about our future plans? |
01:57 - 02:00 | Not even a webinar? |
02:00 - 02:03 | When was the last time any of you posted on the DUC? |
02:04 - 02:08 | Any of you!! |
02:08 - 02:13 | All we seem to care about is fixing buggy software... |
02:14 - 02:16 | and charging people a yearly fee for that! |
02:17 - 02:21 | And making them pay full price if their subscription lapses! |
02:27 - 02:29 | No wonder people tell us daily they're leaving us for another DAW! |
02:30 - 02:34 | I thought after we ditched Hernadez things were gonna get better! |
02:34 - 02:36 | But it's been another year! |
02:41 - 02:42 | And we still have a product from 2018 out there! |
02:43 - 02:47 | We don't even make the installation process as easy as... |
02:48 - 02:53 | Toontrack, Waves, XL Audio etc... |
02:54 - 02:56 | "Coming Soon?" |
02:56 - 02:59 | What does that even mean!? |
03:00 - 03:02 | How much longer can this go on? |
03:04 - 03:07 | Did we learn nothing from the time we got delisted? |
03:14 - 03:16 | Why did we let go so many devoted employees? |
03:19 - 03:23 | And forget about all levels of users, not just the wealthy ones... |
03:25 - 03:26 | ...who don't care at all about features. |
03:31 - 03:33 | We thought we could be like Adobe. |
03:40 - 03:46 | Instead we've got no DSP and intolerable crashes with latency |
03:46 - 03:49 | when tracking! |
03:53 - 03:56 | Everyone just go home! |
