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

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.

Perpetual License for newer versions of PT.

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

Looking for an experienced Pro Tools mixing/mastering engineer.

Hi guys,

I'm looking for someone (or actually two someones) who works in ProTools on daily basis mixing/mastering or could be also a music producer. I need preferably one MacOS and one Windows user. Basically I have something that needs to be tested in the next week or so. Not gonna name any names, to not fall into self-promotion categories. But basically a pretty extensive plugin (meaning it will probably take a bit of time to actually test it) that is about to be released, but couldn't have been tested in ProTools so far, because getting AAX signing license takes a lot of time. Everywhere else, in pretty much all main DAW's, it was thoroughly beta tested already and works as expected, in ProTools from my own testing it also runs without issues, but I'm not a ProTools engineer. So just to reiterate, I need someone that knows ProTools in and out and has the time and conditions to actually stress test it.

Thanks in advance. I hope I don't break any rules here :)

Create a shortcut to copy paste a set EQ

Hi!

I'm really new in Pro tools!

A friend downloaded the tutorial version. Since she's very limited in number of tracks, she decided to edit a small radio podcast with multiple different voices in the same track instead of doing one track per voice! She would like to set an EQ for each type of voice and quickly assign it to each cut she does within the same track.

I know that with an auxiliary or an insert you can assign a plugin to a whole track, but is there a way to create a shortcut so that she just has to select a part of the signal, use the shortcut resulting in that same signal receiving the EQ pattern she already se,? So that she doesn't always have to select + go in Audiosuit+, select the EQ, and paste the EQ pattern she wants.

Idk if I made sense, thank you for any help you can provide haha!
