whats wrong with avid
don't get me wrong, i get if you own a company you have the right to charge whatever you want in a free market and i don't think that should change. however, as we all know avid bought euphonix, i thought that sorta sucked but whatever. apparently they must have paid allot of money because i heard through the grapevine prices are going up 30% on the desktop control surfaces so if you wanted one get it now..

But that's the way it should be! If the product isn't worth the money people will stop buying it until A) The company fixes the problems/releases a better product B) Lowers the price C) Goes out of business.
Personally I love PT despite its issues, it allows me to mix and record music more efficiently than other platforms and is stable enough for me to base 99% of my income around |

i totally agree with you by the way, the only reason i posted this in the beginning was if someone wanted one, they could save themselves the money and get one before the price went up. |

The Avid pricing scheme is fine. The market regulates itself, it's that simple.
Honestly, for any professional working studio that needs a fast reliable workflow, having all Avid kit is fine and infact very affordable! The reason the stuff is expensive is because there are very few people who actually need it, and since those few people need it so bad, they can make the prices that high. Honestly, it is overpriced, but they could really only make it so much less expensive, and it could kill their R&D budget. My advice? Just worry about making music, and you can then have the money that will afford you an AWS 900, an Icon, or maybe a 1608. Hell, if you ask me, it's better this stuff is expensive. It should be expensive and you should need a license to be producing music! Guitars are expensive, tape is expensive, amplifiers and transducers are all expensive! Since when has there been true democracy in making music? Of course, my opinions might change later today and all opinions listed here are worth what you paid me for them.

Oh, and forgot to mention one thing.
I hate Avid, and I hate ProTools. I use Logic. :P Of course, I'm just drinking the Flavor-Aid and buying into Apple though. . .
