I'll take $140 shipped in the US, and you pay the iLok transfer fees for the Rude & Strike.
Or a decent steel seat on an even up trade.....  |

Hey Charles are you going to use a MAC or a PC?
I might be able to help you out here.

I do not claim to be an expert with PT, I run version 8 M Powered which means it requires an MAudio interface of sorts... Version 9 opened it up to multiple interfaces..Version 7 has specific requirements...before you ring the bell check the AVID website for interface requirements. Pro Tools had specific requirements for interfaces , up to version 9...
Version 8 also requires a registered ILok key to run , not to load. Can't say about 7 but ask the question.

All versions of PT need the iLok dongle, along with installing the intrusive PACE software...which is one reason it is off my system.
I only bought it to open PT files that were sent to me to mix or edit, bt lately folks have dropped PT in favor of Studio One, Reaper, and Cubase.....at least around here. |

I run PT 8 with the ILok, it took 10 min to load it, no issues...
I believe Pace is the Ilok driver... never had an issue. Didn't even know pace was the driver until right now !

Myself & a lot of others have had problems with the drivers slowing down the system, corrupting plugins & drivers, and just making a mess of things.
LOTS of folks have absolutely no problems with PT or Pace, but I have had too many on 2 of my systems, so I dropped it.
Bottom line is PT is a good DAW, a lot of folks still use it. |

Interesting--I have Pro Tools running on five different systems, both Mac and PC, and have never had a Pace issue...

I have used PT 6.1 , 7.4 and 8 and never use a Ilok for any of them . Just requires a Digi interface. Now plugins are a different story. A bunch of them require ILok authorizations.

I use PT v11, and after many years of using Creator/Logic I can honestly say that at last I have virtually zero latency using firewire to connect my digital interfaces. I use the incredibly spec'd Pto Tools PC, and the iLok software was installed by the Pro Tools PC company prior to despatch.
Charles, once you start using Pro Tools you wont look back. It is very intuitive to use, and arguably is the industry standard recording software.

That's an amazing assertion - "intuitive" would be the last word I'd use to describe Pro Tools.
I used Adobe Audition for years and decided to upgrade to Pro Tools v10. Got it installed and was blown away by the learning curve required to use it. I even bought a 3rd party tutorial package to see if that would help. It didn't, much.
At the end of the day, I just decided I'd rather be recording than struggling to figure out Pro Tools - my personal home recording needs are modest. I went back to Audition v3.0, which, with the capability for unimited tracks, a nice assortment of filters and effects, and a much simpler interface, fits the bill nicely. |

I guess it's perception, I found that almost all DAW programs work basically the same . I jump from Pro-Tools to Audition to Logic to Cubase with very little trouble as far as doing basic recording. There are editing nuances in each one that are different and for some things I like one better than another. Sometimes signal routing can be a little confusing from one to another as well but usually within a minute or two I've got it together.

Probably so. The complexity I ran into with PT is directly related to its capabilities, I'm sure. But with only the need to record by myself at home, one guy doing just one track at a time, I simply don't need all that.
The only reason I even bought PT is because I ran into complications re-installing Audition when the required online "registration" failed, since they don't support it anymore. That's now resolved, so I'm back in business. |

Pro Tools can do as little or as much as you want it to. The editing side of things (should you need to use it) is very comprehensive admittedly, but the plug ins that you get with v.11 are very straight forward to use. I started with Creator on my Atari many many years ago, then moved on to Logic and then Logic Pro. Pro Tools has them all beaten for ease of navigation around the program. (IMHO that is )

I just checked and I see that v10.3.8 is out now. I'm downloading it - maybe I'll give it another try.
I've never been one to turn down a challenge, and it's always nice to have options. |

Software and it's platforms are viwed in many ways, it is near impossible, no make that "impossible" to create a software package that everyone views exactly the same.
Lets talk Pro Tools, I find it very intuitive, other's obviously do not. That doesn't mean it's a hard package to use it just simply means that each of us may view complexity differently. How we approach things everyday, each of us do it differently...to one person the way I do something may appear backwards, strange or wrong and vice versa.
I work with Sonar, Cakewalk and Pro Tools, also worked with several different Zoom,Boss and Yamaha workstations which are not related in operation. But I do not find them hard, just different. I did find Cubase to be odd... so I didn't bother working with it...Audacity, Reaper etc..nice packages, not difficult to work with. I will say this, especially with an advanced feature set package, aka Pro Tools, if you are trying to build Rome in one day it probably will not happen.
Here is my method of madness with a new package.
I list out the primary items that I need to learn to get started, then a 2nd tier of items , then a 3rd tier, etc, I keep my books close by and may use them in a session...in this manner I am not trying to learn 3 tiers or more at the same time in the same session. Make an outline of what you want to accomplish over a few days or a week with a very simple session,which could be 1,2 or 3 tracks.Follow the outline. Add to it as necessary , it's a work in progress. write stuff down,take notes, make notes as necessary. This is what we did in school isn't it ?
I work with and sell scientific software, our statement is...do not confuse complexity with flexibility. years back I was a technical instructor with the company I work for so I just use the same formula for learning as I did for teaching.
Music software is no different. One person may find a particular package very difficult, another person may find the exact same package not difficult at all...
It's who we are...
