Hi,
This is my first post. Hope you guys will be patient with me. My question is, i have invested in pro tools m powered, and now I'm wondering about what interface to buy. I think that I'd like the option of at least being able to try recording drums at home, if possible, but I'm a student, so spending lots of € on an interface is unfortunately not what i want to have to do.

Hey guys,

I started off with Pro Tools 7.3 Academic, what then allowed a free upgrade to Pro Tools 7.4 M-Powered Educational... and now I want to upgrade to Pro Tools 8, but i'm unsure if there is even a Academic version for PT8.

I am having trouble getting any signal from my Firestudio 26/26 to my Digi 003 control surface. I have it connected via a firewire cable plugged into the back of the 003, as well as lightpipe. The Firestudio CPL software recognizes that the preamp is connected, and even the Pro Tools Le software shows that I have eight ADAT inputs.

Hey all,

I'm running Pro Tools HD 2, 7.4. My MIDI I/O has been really finicky as of late and will not sync up when I open Pro Tools. I'm going to head down there soon to try and troubleshoot the damn thing but I thought I'd ask around here first to try and get some idea on where to start or if anyone has any knowledge of this happening to them. Thanks!

I'm wondering if I can still use my older mix 24 plus + ( core and 2 PCI cards and install them into a new computer. Right now the system is in my Mac 9600 running PT 5.

I would like to upgrade the software to 7 or 8 for starters. Later on I plan on getting an HD system.

I'm going to get a new Mbox audio interface that comes with pro tools soon, but i have never used pro tools before what exactly makes it worth using over lets say the free Audacity? Is it worth getting?

Ah, it reminds me why sometimes I hate computers so much! All I want to do is record music, you would think that it is easy.

I purchased an Alesis IO26 over 1 year ago. It has been collecting dust, getting ready for me to purchase software to run it.

Which do you choose?

I'm debating on working with Pro Tools and using a Digidesign C|24 as a control surface, and a 003 rack... Or going a cheaper route and using Cubase with a Tascam DM4800, and a MOTU interface

I have had a little more experience with cubase, a little easier for me to work with, but what do you guys think?
Is it that big of a difference?
