Question for ProTools users (DAE and VST issue)
Hello.
Iīm looking for a good audio/midi sequencer and so far Nuendo looks pretty good to me. But still Iīd like to try ProTools since itīs the big reference in audio editing... So here come my questions: - Is it possible to use ProTools without their hardware? (I installed ProTools free but it crashes and it doesnīt seem possible to set up my external audio card (M-audio duo). - I installed ProTools 5.2 (I still use OS classic because it remains so much faster than OSX with my G3 iBook) and it says "Unable to create a DAE deck". What is the problem? Is it because I donīt have their hardware? - Also I heard that it was not possible to use VST plugins and VST instruments with ProTools. Is it true? I really need a virtual Sampler (like Halion or MachFive) and I love my little Pluggo set. Thank you for any help. Stéphane |

Try Pro Tools Free. That works with the internal hardware of the machine. TDM versions need external hardware in order to work. Don |

You're exactly why you can't run Pro Tools without the hardware.

Don, I tried Pro Tools Free already but it seems (beside the fact that it crashes all the time) it seems like I canīt set-up my external audio card with this one. Does it work ONLY with the internal hardware of the computer? That would be a bit sad. Like either Pro Tools the great, either the crapy one in the computer. Plus I use an iBook and there is no audio input. Itīs really too bad if itīs not possible to use Pro Tools as the great software it seems to be. I tried it at school, doing editing for movies, a few years ago, and I thought it was both easy and powerfull. I guess I should get Nuendo instead. |
