And S1 is doing a heck of a job so far the way I see and feel it. Yes, PT might still be 'better' but don't get surprised when another DAW comes up. It works, and what's even better it helps you working through with less issues. I understand why people bash S1 for the "eye candy" (I also did at first) but it's not just candy. But my friend, for music, composing, arranging, mixing a band, jingles, sound design, etc S1 is by far making the whole experience much much rewarding. Needless to say it is the absolute and unique standard in that portion of the industry. My main job and what I make a living of is Films, features, docs, shorts, series and there I do feel comfortable using PT. It's always struggling with some stupid little nonsense. Pro tools FEELS ancient as hell even on the most top notch studios I've worked at. I'm FINALLY being able to load a bunch of Aqua instances and HO nebulas for example. Where as in PT it has always been such a headache (I use PT since 4.1, up to nowadays 12.5) also performance in S1 is unmatched. In particular, plugin latency managing in S1 is almost perfect. There are a couple functions (mainly editing and workflow related) that are objectively better in PT when compared to other DAWs, but if you don't mind that as much, it is killing PT in almost every other aspect. But after some months using S1 I can confirm that the engine/architecture behind it excels PT's. Indeed Pro tools certainly might, just might be 'better' than S1 at this very moment. Anyway, I'd love PT 2018 but am more than happy with 12.5 - the BEST gift this site ever gave me (and my music) PT has tons of key shortcuts and fast workflow, superb audio editing, world class automation systems (not toy ones like some other daws), pro control surfaces that destroy anything out there for S1 and work with HD. There is nothing 12.5HD+ can't do that I need it to do, and things like comit/track freeze is far more simple elegant and even 'fun' to use on PT than it was on the other DAWs which, esp s1, is proving to be more clunky that we thought when it first seemed to be great. More importantly it's still the ONLY DAW that gets 'mixing' right, with the edit screen it keeps everything in context and focused on mixing. PT instead looks very sharp, beautiful colours (if you choose them and not gaudy ones) and is very light on the eyes. It's not ugly, far from it (ok so it has one ugly windows title bar vs the mac version) but as a DAW it's far better on the eyes than S1 or cubase with their neon colours which I got sick of. It's way way way better than ANY other DAW I've used these past 20 years (inc cubase and studio one). This would be compatible with both 32 bit and 64 bit windows.Been using 12.5 HD here on PC for 3+ years 24/7 rock solid. This is complete offline installer and standalone setup for Avid – Pro Tools HD.
