Question: Is this the actual Pro Tools 11 software or just a upgrade or somthing?
Document: I know other companies are trying to compete with Avid, such as Adobe, Sony and Ableton. The truth of the matter is that no one else comes close to what Pro Tools can do. Aside from that It is the industry standard and if you ever want to be taken seriously you want to use this software. End of Story.
This review does not cover Avid Pro Tools 11, which may be a fine and useful program, but the "Student" aspect.First, let me provide you the information that Amazon does not - you, or the person you are buying this for, are not necessarily a student.
Did anyone else's Pro Tools 11 Student Edition not come with a disc? Or is this just an activation card? I don't see why it would $270 for an activation card. Mines did not come with a disc. How am I supposed to install the program?
My daughter attends George Mason University and like me, she is in communications. Pro Tools is the best and she is learning the program and running circles around me. Only the best for the best! I'm very proud of her. She said to let you know she LOVES Pro Tools 11.
I really love this new version of Pro Tools, I love the fact that it comes with Pro Tools 10 in the bundle is well. I have both installed but I use Pro Tools 10 because all of my plugins work with Pro Tools 10 opposed to the new format for ProTools 11 great buy worth the money
I was sent version 10 and  was told that Avid would provide free upgrade to v.11. I opened it and registered it then could not get upgrade. Protools is very complex and still can't get it to recognize Presonus.
Ableton Live 9, nothing. I tear through it like butter. But Pro Tools is so much more complex, and I know this is because it can do movie scores and what not and it is the industry standard and it is GREAT for mixing, but boy is it a d***.
Overall it is good, but DANG Pro Tools in HAAARRDDDD to get to install correctly to where everything is working right, and I still don't have it reading my VST synthesizers. Plus you have to ALWAYS be worried about the iLok USB Key. It worked fine, reading my iLok, then it stopped, so I uninstalled and reinstalled, and now it is reading my iLok. Overall, Pro Tools has a GREAT industry standard quality to it, but let me warn you right now.
If you go to Avid directly the ilok comes with it. Awesome software though  [...]  Click on the link it will take you there.
Super awesome editing software, and I ABSOLUTELY love the fact that, as a student, I can get it for much cheaper!
Answer: It is the actual full version of Pro Tools version 11. My daughter had earlier version that would not upgrade to ver. 11, so she needed the stand alone version. She is very happy with it, and got it at a reduced rate. Hope this helps.
