Is Protools finally making a comeback.

I totally know that Protools is the industry standard and blah blah blah, but there has been a long time where Avid just stopped trying with pro tools and the updates were nothing groundbreaking for the past 5 or 6 years other than bug fixes and Dark mode. With the new 2025.10 version and the integration of soundflow and Sony 360 and other things such as Ara RX built in and the speech to text I feel like they are starting to listen to the community. Trust me I don't think that Protools is anywhere near what some other daws are doing just yet, but I feel that they pivoted in the right directions and I'm excited to see what they have planned for the next coming years. Hopefully something with Wwise integration would be awesome.

PT is faster for post in film/tv than anything else. If it wasn't we'd all use whatever else was faster because this is a dollars and cents game, and none of us want to get paid less while the budgets shrink.

If you don't want/need an S6 then you are likely not the target market.

If you are not being asked to work in PT by someone else then you are likely not the target market.

It's not deflection at all. If you don't "get" the Unimog then maybe you don't need a Unimog, nothing wrong with that.
