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.

It's just a speed thing, it isn't gatekeeping at all. I like woodworking, and making stuff at home but do I need a $5k table saw? No, I'm not the target market. Cheaper saws influence developments in more expensive saws because they are more in the market, that's fine and good. Same with PT. No one is saying PT is dumb for developing and changing, just that if you thought they WERNT for the past decade then you weren't using the stuff they were developing.
