Temper your need.....

While Pro Tools 10 is a great upgrade, but it must be stated that the benefits of this program are geared more for individuals using the complete production toolkit, and pro tools HD. Most of the changes are under the hood providing a more efficient program. However, Pro Tools 9.0 was already a very efficient program. The only reason I chose to upgrade so quickly was because of the extended disk caching with the complete production toolkit. If you are using 9.0 and are happy with it right now there is no reason to rush out to upgrade, unless you can upgrade for free. After spending $300.00 less than a year ago the new features really do not justify absolutely having to have this.

I know Avid threw in the so called "Clip gain" but that is not a feature that I would use a lot, because of the need to keep any type of gain consist across a whole track as opposed to a plethora of different volumes. The AAX plug-in format is not even introduced yet, and I have not really used the 3 new plug-ins for need to stick with the ones I use on a regular basis.

However, for the HD users on the site PT 10 finally gives HD the same mix engine as LE in 9.0. In 9.0 the LE actually had a better mix in engine as opposed to HD.

If you have the money buy it, if not stay with 9.0 until you can but don't feel bad about it you already have a great version.

My Sales Engineer has always been great. I trust his input. He's been invaluable as a consultant and a big part of why I've worked with Sweetwater for so long. I've recommended scores of people to Sweetwater because of his service.
