Members UstadKhanAli Posted January 24, 2015 Members Share Posted January 24, 2015 Looks like Pro Tools Cloud is here, with it going to a subscription model, I believe. "All Pro Tools purchases, upgrades, and subscriptions now come with an Avid upgrade and support plan that ensures you always have the latest features at your fingertips. This means that you'll get all future software updates and upgrades (as long as your plan is active), including the upcoming Pro Tools Cloud and other features mentioned below, and 24x7 access to our Customer Care team experts to get help and advice whenever, wherever, and however you need it." http://www.avid.com/US/products/pro-...tware#Features ~~~~~ http://globenewswire.com/news-release/2015/01/22/699344/10116599/en/Avid-Announces-Flexible-Licensing-in-Pro-Tools-Avid-Cloud-Collaboration-and-New-Services-in-the-Avid-Marketplace.html Flexible Licensing Options in Pro Tools 12 Pro Tools 12 delivers new flexible licensing options, allowing customers to subscribe by as little as $29.99 per month, or to buy it outright.

Moderators Lee Knight Posted January 26, 2015 Moderators Share Posted January 26, 2015 I watched the PT 12 demo at NAMM a few times and asked a LOT of questions and frankly... I'm blown away. The colaboration features will speed up and expand my workflow tremendously. The potential is a must have for me. I'm in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I haven't delved into the features exactly, I do like the idea of the collaboration features. Are there any other features that you really seem to like?
