One important thing to note is ProTools seems to not support 32 bit float audio and will have gain staging issues and not null properly.

In reply to THRL. Yes & no. Studio One Pro & Prime share the same installer, that said, once Pro version appears hoy can start using demo until Prime Licenses enabled. The fact is that old Prime/demo/free licenses still work today with all versions: 1 to 5.

In reply to THRL. That's not true. Studio One Prime is usually released a couple of weeks after the paid versions.

Good timing, Presonus just discontinued the free Prime version of StudioOne. Time to switch back!

Errr…no thanks, not even if Avid paid me.
Bet you there will be more negatives than positives in using their so called “free” version.

Holy $H1T, Pro Tools still exists? I haven’t heard anything from them in ages.

Oh, it looks like they’re using a subscription model now. No thanks, Avid.

In reply to Frank.

ok, i just checked the detailed comparison of all versions on avid.com:
PT INTRO DOESNT HAVE CLIP GAIN, and also no “advanced automation”.
though i dont know what the advanced means.

In reply to Frank.

first i have to say that i am using pro tools on a regular base, but i dont know any of the free versions,
so i might be wrong.
but i suppose that if clip gain and automations are not mentioned as limitations of the free version, then everything in these regards should work like in the full versions.
and particularly clip gain and automations are two of the things that are more comfortable and clever than in other daws in my personal opinion.

in general whatever people say about it, it is a very good daw at least for recording, editing and mixing music and postproduction stuff.
maybe not so much for producing electronic music, but even that is a question of taste i guess.

and i also dont like subscriptions, but at the moment i am still on my perpetual license of pt 12. if i have to change to a subscription model in the future i dont know how i would decide then.

In reply to JEP1928. As I remember Xpand 2 has been given away free or sold at a dollar several times during the last 5-7 years. I guess at is now set free permanently by Avid, the VST will soon follow suit

In reply to James N. I am asking because the VST of Xpand2 by Air use iLok copy protection.
