But it would certainly be nice to know.
Yeah, I'm in sorta the same boat. I have PT11, but I mostly use it for older projects and collabs. The annual fee for regular users is $199, but I've seen a few people mention a monthly "rental" option. Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't think that Avid has actually said for sure if there will be a monthly option???

Also since ver9 I don't really suffer from bad timing issues either (just to rub it in )

Live's loading times, although im not sure how long projects take to open in other DAWs
i7 haswell, 16gb ram, SSDs......still takes a fucking age to open a set
also the shoddy timing with synths, doesnt look like that will ever be fixed either
All depends on # of tracks + types of instruments + external wav files you are using in your project - for my 50+ track it usually takes around 1 min+ (no SSD).

hey I think the slow startup can be attributed to live loading your projects into RAM. If you have a bunch of instances of simpler all those samples get loaded into RAM automatically, with Sampler you get the choice of either RAM or to read from the harddrive, which if youve got an SSD theres no reason not to go that route. Not sure if that helps any. The project file size wont really be an indicator of anything since its just pointing to resources on the harddrive

I'm guessing they'll implement a monthly option, well really it's only in their best interests because $199 for 12 months is a bit ridiculous. I wouldn't bother with that.

are you using external hardware?
Yeah sorry I meant as in track count / amount of plugs etc..
Only hardware I have is my virus, it usually takes about 10 seconds or so to initialise when you first open up the vst plug.
My latest wip that I posted is currently up to 41 channels and I've just timed that at 17 seconds to open which I don't think is bad at all. Like I said, with the exception of a couple of plugins, I mainly just use abletons so maybe that makes a difference?
