Avid have finally done it. On the Avid Store there is now a product which enables you to upgrade from DV Toolkit 2 to Complete Production Toolkit for £529 or $799.
Create even larger sessions and get many of the same features of Pro Tools|HD* systems with the Complete Production Toolkit, a powerful expansion option for Pro Tools software. Have the flexibility to work on studio-created sessions anywhere using just your computer or Pro Tools mobile rig. Get the same high Pro Tools|HD track counts, full session compatibility, and support for all track types, including VCA groups. And enhance your production with 7.1 surround mixing, advanced editing and automation tools, and more.
For complete details, visit the Complete Production Toolkit page.
NOTE: This upgrade version of Complete Production Toolkit is for current owners of the DV Toolkit 1 or 2 only.
* This toolkit is not intended for Pro Tools|HD or Pro Tools|HD Native system users, as Pro Tools HD software already includes the features in this package.
** Track counts decrease with higher sample rates.

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."

Thank you Avid! You do care about us little people. Time to save up some rupees. I’m definatly doing this! I’m really looking forward to VCAs, X-form, and retaining the advanced automation features I’m used to. Happy, happy, joy, joy…

Glad they’ve done this, but that’s quite a price hike from where it was. Glad I upgraded my toolkit with PT9!

Hi Ben,
It is, but you have to remember that for $800 you are getting all the features that come with Pro Tools HD like surround tracks, lots more tracks, auxes and so on and so it is still a stunning deal. Take a look at the comparison chart on the Avid site, everything that has a * in the Pro Tools 10 column you get for $800

Totally fair point Mike. I just meant that it’s a lot more than when the upgrade was first introduced with PT9- $349. At least you get a lot for your money though.

One of the features that almost no one talks about and is a great improvement in the field record track settings, is like having Titan inside PT10HD. I’ve used it for 2 months and it as been great. Titan Price is €1554
