Stiff at ProToolerBlog has just posted that Scott Church is leaving Pro Tools. He says…
Scott Church was to me the only real connection between Avid and the end-users. While others, such as Dave Lebolt, connected with columns in Digizine and very few occasional posts on the DUC and so on (which I of course appreciate), Scott understood the true value of real connection and communicated through videos and on his blog which is now down.
I don’t want to spread any false rumors here. According to Scott himself, his departure had nothing to do with anyone else (this was not Dave starting a mutiny, at least not to my knowledge). He got a chance to continue his career elsewhere and took it. No hard feelings from my side at all, that’s just business and life, but I’m sure gonna miss the bloke. He did some great things for Pro Tools, playing a part in Pro Tools 8 that shouldn’t be underestimated.
I can confirm Scott’s blog is down, but not only that, all the great videos he has created and uploaded to vimeo.com have been taken down, and the link to his blog from the DUC has gone.
All of this leads me to surmise that Scott must be going to work for a direct competitor so that it would be a conflict of interest to seen to be promoting Avid, Digidesign and Pro Tools. Apparently according to posts on the DUC he is going to Universal Audio.
Scott’s website is still up though here.
Scott you will be missed from this Pro Tools community but we wish you well in your new career opportunity.

Seven radio producers – all based in the north of England – have joined forces to launch a new co-operative venture – ‘Radio Wizards’. It’s equally remarkable that their aim now is to work together on every kind of sound production... except radio!
"It’s taken over a year to get to this point," says ‘wizard’ Mike Thornton, "but now we’ve got a viable business plan, we’ve launched our website and we’re already starting to attract commissions. As a facilities provider we decided to facilitate this partnership and set them up with a web site to help kickstart this excellent partnership."
