Hello Folks,

I am an LE 7.4x user and am curious if anybody knows what new effects
are in PT 8? The blurb says "Add character to tracks with 20 new AIR
effects" but no details. I am not interested in virtual instruments
only EQ's, compressors, and so forth. I suppose that would be
processors as opposed to effects. I have the 003 with Music Production
Toolkit on one machine and 7.4.x with an original Mbox Factory on another.

Thanks,
Robert A. Ober

Presumably there is more new than just a few new plugins that would
presumably work in previous versions. But maybe I underestimate the cynical
business model of Digidesign....

Welllllll, they also mention a new interface and other things. In the
picture the interface doesn't look that changed but I suppose we need a
bigger picture and more info. I don't care about most of the other
stuff. Don't care about 7.4's Elastic whatever. The small amount of
recording I do is live, as is. I prefer that.

Thanks:-)

I'd be thrilled to have markers that one could choose to have move with the waveform
(markers that move to follow edit or slip operations).

I'd also be gaw-gaw to have a damned "pause" button on the transport without needing
to find some obscurely-named function in a setup dialog to make stop or the spacebar
act that way (then you lose the equally-useful return-to-starting-point behavior
until you go back and find that obscure configuration).

I mean, c'mmonnnnnn, Digi!

Geoff,

Do I remember correctly that you staunchly don't use any Digidesign products

Just press N.
It's been there since Protools 5....

Frank, I think that's a great Idea. And an eye-blink sensor to switch from
slip to shuffle and back.

For sure. That why I don't know if those new Digi plugins(?) are
backwards-compatible. They certainly would be in any other DAW.

I don't even see where the OP's asking about backward compatibility.

I'll third and forth the "markers that move with the edit". If you
shift select the marker line it will chop them, but it's an impossible
way to work. Should be able to group markers along with tracks when
choosing "all" in groups.
