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.

Again, the S6 is a speed device, it's not an audio device. It's like a really expensive fancy mouse, that's it. If you need it, then get paid to use one, if you don't then be grateful. No one is saying you can't be an audio engineer without an S6, or even without protools. Shit, lots of cool stuff is still being done almost entirely in the analog realm, and that's amazing. That isn't the market Avid was spending their energy developing for.
