PROTOOLS PLUG-INS TO UGRADE OR NOT TO....? pt. 1

       I'm a protools fan to the fullest, I was certified ages ago it seems really since version 6.1 they now have version 8. Now if you don't know about digital recording software...New versions are created every year sometimes twice or more who knows? ( the Version goes up a decimal point every upgrade) It seems they do it just to change the look to compete with other companies, or to fix a few bugs here and there, Add a new function move things around that used to make sense and throw every 1 off due to new programmers undoing what brilliant ideas the one's before them laid out for us LOGICALLY, just to make it their own( if that makes any sense) Don't get me wrong PT 8 has a hand full of new helpful functions but why move options around??! 

      We also haft to keep up with Macintosh's new Os's...and theres where the problem lies. Consumers are constantly forced to update their Operating System in order to upgrade and stay compatible with their software, what ever medium it is...AND THAT CAN BE COSTLY!!!!! (BASTARDS)

Call me old school and a little cliche' BUT IF IT'S NOT BROKE I AIN'T GONNA FIX IT PERIOD

But what if you don't wanna UPGRADE because certain effects/plug-ins you already own will be LOST? So I have a bundle I got from a class mate of mine (thanx!!) along time ago I'm not giving you the name of the bundle(not important) but it isn't remotely cheep...we both can't download the upgrade so of course, I'm up shit's creek. So I'm stuck with my Os X and Protools version 6.4...why? because I'll lose my career saving/making bundle...not that I can't tweek stock plug ins to sound just as good. BUT if you have a choice to drive a Lamborghini or a Ford Taurus or another example run your guitar through  a Berringer mixing board or a SSL g series console. It doesn't take a genius to know I'm not upgrading a damn thang...

AGAIN...Call me old school and a little cliche' BUT IF IT'S NOT BROKE I AIN'T GONNA FIX IT PERIOD

THANX FOR YOUR TIME .... and don't feel like you haft to ugrade your software everytime stick with what works for YOU
