I'm at the point where I'm going to need to lock off my #ProTools rig from any updates.
I had everything working great but upgraded #AutoTune from Pro to ProX and shit got slow and crashy. Back to Pro only.
I was in this "locked off" mode for seven years until two years ago when I moved into the modern world. I guess it's better than troubleshooting my nights away.
I've talked before about how some default #DAW metronome sounds are stupid. #Cubase, #ProTools... Just go home. Go home, stay at home and don't let anyone have to hear that shower singing noise. Kill it with fire. Or water as the case may be.
#Logic... Where you going with that? You can't leave the house with that stupid click. Get to your room!
#Reaper... Reaper... What? Just no. Don't even look at me like that, you know you're just wrong. Stop it. Don't!
#Ableton... Finally someone I'm not embarrassed to be seen with. Well done, well done. #Maschine... Yep, you ain't half-bad either. Good. Proud of you.
Sure, you can make others behave nicer, but why are so many default metronomes just such a pile of shite?
Have you ever installed a musical or #fx plug-in?
Are you not a #ProTools or #Sibelius user?
If this sounds like you, you may find anywhere from a few hundred MB to several GB of unwanted AAX plug-ins used by #Avid just hanging around on your system like a bad smell.
I'd check just in case. #Mac: /Library/Application Support/Avid. #Windows: Program Files\Common Files\Avid.
I found 2GB on my Mac and deleted them, but every 6 months or so I check again and due to updates from companies such as #NativeInstruments, #Arturia, #SoundToys, #Roland etc, they come back.
Very few manufacturers allow you to turn off installing certain types of plug-in, so it's worth keeping an eye on these.

Best way to preserve/convert old ProTools (*.ptf) sessions?
So I have a couple of 10+ year old studio recordings from old music projects that were saved as a ProTools session....
