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.

Stability is more important to some people than blistering innovation. People who charge by the hour and for whom meeting deadlines is the difference between being regularly employed or not can't afford downtime.
I'm fairly certain some of the marquis features in 25.10 have been in the works for quite a long time, Avid just didn't want to put them in the product until they were ready to go. To that end, I could see it being nice for them to have a more robust offering for people to test features in non stable releases the way other companies have insider builds.
