PRO TOOLS | FIRST AND MACKIE MUSICIAN COLLECTION DISCONTINUED

Updated on 2/24/2022

Bothell, WA – December 23, 2021 – To our valued users, in 2019 we announced a partnership with Avid® to offer Pro Tools® | First plus the Musician Collection™ with a number of our popular studio and creator products. We have recently learned that Avid has discontinued all versions of Pro Tools®| First effective immediately, including not only the Pro Tools® | First 1st party offering from Avid, but also the Musician Collection, a 3rd party offering including the 304 Series plug-ins which were previously included for free with the purchase of select Mackie products. 

 
 
If you purchased a new Mackie product before March 31st, 2022 you can recieve a 3-month free trial of Pro Tools (standard) by reaching out to our tech support team at [email protected]. This offer will only be available with proof of purchase, and only be made available once per user.
 
 
Select Mackie products will continue to offer the versatile and incredibly capable Waveform™ OEM software and 16 plug-in DAW Essentials Collection™ from Tracktion. Waveform OEM is a multi award-winning workstation, featuring powerful and creative tools to inspire the modern musician. Unlike typical ‘Lite’ versions, it does not impose any restrictions – you get unlimited track count, powerful features, compatibility with all popular plug-ins and efficient performance on MacOS®, Windows®, and Linux® operating systems. If you have any questions regarding the change, please feel free to get in touch with the Mackie support team at Mackie.com/support.
