You know, these guys are not forthcoming with some of their technical information. I actually spoke to numerous folks from the company at the AES October 07 about an input issue with the M-Box 2. You'd think they could provide some information (that should normally be provided in a schematic of any professional piece of equipment, which they won't supply you with) but were technically ignorant about a simple front-end. They cited excuses as to something of a "proprietary nature" in their crappy box that they would not supply schematics for. We're not talking about the heart of the circuitry. We're talking about a simple front-end input issue. So I'm not surprised to hear you can't get a proper answer.

There is something else in the back of my brain damaged brain that tells me the academic version will not support those plug-ins? Not that I've tried that mind you. I just seem to remember reading something about that? Something about what the academic version won't do? And it might be that? After all, they want you to buy their higher-end product. How else are they supposed to go out of business without your help?

Good luck and I hope you learn how to sing those harmonies instead?

Your insight is always helpful. Protools Academic version is still a "full" version with everything included. It is Protools LE re-branded and discounted with hopes that the users will one day upgrade to their better products so they can once again be stuck using their hardware and plugins. I use other plugins that require ilok etc. I currently use melodyne essential using rewire.

I got an email from melodyne replying to my question saying it will work, but they recomend using it with 7.4. I have 7.3.

Try Melodyne Studio if that's in your price range... if you're using scale snap, making in-scale harmonies is a snap. Try the demo, and see what you think. If i had that much to shell out for pitch correction, that would be the best program in my opinion.
