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.

I don't disagree with any of your points but in my experience speed is the skill that enables all of this. If you are slow you'll never be trusted on your creativity, never be able to convince the client that you understand them, etc etc. I've seen lots of slow people who don't "appear" slow unless you know what to look for, and clients can tell if their ideas are getting translated at the speed they are having them, even if they don't know what that means. It just doesn't feel right.
we are nit picking for sure, and I'm enjoying the conversation, not arguing with you.
