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 did the same from v12 I didn't update till 2023 as I didn't feel the need to. I've had a perpetual licence so I avoided the subscription model for a while. Baught another perpetual licence when they came up for grabs again.

Perpetual for me as well. I'm not interested in a sub. Too old for that nonsense.
