The positive of this, though, is that I've developed a great habit of saving after every keystroke.With Pro Tools you now get 12 months of upgrades and support to ensure you stay up-to-date with the latest version and get help when you need it! New features available now/coming soon are: The newer versions crash much less, but there has always been a little bit of instability with it. I used my purchased copy of Pro Tool 11 for as long as I could, until it physically wouldn't work any more with the new system i had, lol.

I personally feel that Pro Tools has always been a bit expensive, and now that they have moved to the subscription based model, the software is not only expensive, but I don't own it. This has allowed me to get straight back to work after updating the software, without need to re-learn different tools or find our where they moved certain features. What I like, however, is that they rarely make large, sweeping changes to the fundamental tools of the program. Over the years, Pro Tools has stayed effectively the same version to version, with some changes integrated. Now I use it primarily to edit, mix and normalize podcasts. Firstly to record, edit and mix music and band. I've been using Pro Tools for over 10 years. The audio quality I get from it is great. I know how to work it, and am fast and efficient with it. Overall, I enjoy using Pro Tools and will continue to do so. The biggest downside to protools currently is the price, especially now that they’ve moved to the subscription model, but if you know the layout and shortcuts, it’s hard to make the case to go with something else. The rise of faster computers and home studios has given rise to other great DAWs that are functionally quite good and comparably feature wise. If you’re in or working with the music industry, it’s still the standard in many pro studios, but that only matters if you’re moving files back and forth a lot. A good layout, great features and shortcuts, and it lets you do all you need once you put in the time to learn it. ProTools earned the reputation of being the best DAW for a reason in the 90s and 2000s, and it’s still one of the best. Moving from the iLok system was also a good move, but the monthly fee is a hard pill to swallow if you’re not making a living doing audio stuff. I’ve been using PT since it required proprietary hardware, and I’d say it’s improved a lot since then.
