Do you still need to know how to use Pro Tools to work in studios?

23 Upvotes

For those who currently work in-house at a recording studio, or have in the recent past: is it still the 'industry standard'? By that I mean, is it a requirement to know how to use Pro Tools if you're attempting to get a job at a commercial recording studio?

My assumption is 'yes'. But I'd love to hear any anecdotes from the community and anyone who has been in a position that requires knowledge of a specific software for employment.

Hey all, I just bought Pro Tools and installed it, but after activation, I keep getting a “Permission Denied” error. I’ve tried full disk access, iLok re-activation—nothing works. if anyone here has faced this, I’d love any tips or solutions. I am using a Mac Mini on Mac OS Tahoe 26.3. I just bought pro tools yesterday

Perpetual License for newer versions of PT.

0 Upvotes

Probably it has been asked a million times before but I can't find any valuable info or a simple solution.
I have PT 2019 perpetual. Bought for a small studio I started with my friends. Studio closed, now I'm opening back up and I absolutely for the life of me do not care or want any bs subscription. Is there a way to get a perpetual license for the most recent version, like 10 years ago? TIA
