Pro Tools 9

[Trevoire520]

Question: Is PT very picky about computer hardware?

Yeah it can be pretty picky about that shit. Mind you my old college had Pro Tools running on old dell dimensions I think. So you might be ok.

I just don't understand 100% about the ADC thing as I never thought about it, since every daw I've used had ADC. So I saw on online video when they were demo'ing it, that it has ADC 4096 samples, that feels to me like it's not enough for heavy usage... is it? Or would that include all those bullshit NI virtual instruments which I don't give a fuck, only need to use any of that stuff from time to time

Their website also says PT9 has (unlike HD8+9) no "Input Monitoring".. wait what?

where do you see that??

 

[guitarguru777]

Ahh now I see it, but really the monitoring should be done from the interface anyway. Granted this sucks for guys that use .... O wait, free amp sims are VST ...lol So whatever its not a big deal.

 

[AdamWathan]

It has input monitoring it just doesn't have it separate from the record arm button. If you arm a track in PT, it will be monitored. In PT HD, you can monitor it without arming it.

Not really anything to miss out on there.

Adam how the hell do you know all of this. Were you a Beta tester ....lol

Disagree... I always track vocalists with plugin compression... Can't do that if monitoring through the interface unless the interface has DSP FX... Plus setting up the interface mixer and all my track levels in my DAW is twice as much work as just doing it in the DAW

Anyone buy the electronic download yet and have you received it?

 

[Jarkko Mattheiszen]

Now, DV247 has the M-Powered upgrade for 285,25€. Sweetwater sells the electronic delivery for roughly 245€. Does Avid have some reason to brutally ass-rape me if I go ahead and order the electronic delivery from the states?

upgrade and download from avid store. Download took about 15 minutes. cost me 272 bucks canadian which was totally worth it!

So far it's running totally perfectly sans interface and all my plugs have loaded and work!

 

[Jordon]

Anyone know if you can upgrade from LE7, or must it be LE8?

What the fuck, I'm positively surprised and actually pretty excited! :3

I'm going to get it fo' sho'. Still probably going to stick to Logic as my main DAW for composing and mixing, but I have a feeling I'm going to start doing all recording (expect maybe vocals because of the quick swipe comping) and editing in PT.
