Right, then . . . you pay your $7500 to $19,000 (US dollars, and depending on your choice of setup) for the “Advanced DSP Processing Like Nothing You’ve Ever Seen!” and a “whole new level of Pro Tools HD” and you get the nasty bug for free. They claim “the industry standard just got even better!” Don’t know about that, but it did get a nasty type of bug.

One of the reasons I’m posting this notice is because this particular bug is one of the most insidious and difficult to notice if you are doing loads of studio work and perhaps not paying as close attention as you should — or perhaps counting on your mix busses to work properly every time, not just on Tuesdays.
AVID will certainly have to fix this, and I wonder of it can come as a hot fix, or will it require a half day of making a full reinstall?
But the real terror is that some engineers have thought they had been hearing some slight phase shifts for some time now but couldn’t attribute it to a source. That means those mixes went out of studio! Follow that one with a track to buss missing now and then, but not always, later in the project (details in the linked thread).

Gee, maybe it’s a PT-specific virus. Oh, pity. Call me cheap — and I’ve never objected to working with PT — but you’ll never catch me buying any of this overpriced rubbish. I much prefer the much more modestly priced bugs that pop up readily and can be fixed and posted here in a day or two. (Bet you that the GearSlutz thread mushrooms and runs a full month!) Nasty.
Cheers!
