Too Frightened to Install 11.3
 

Just bought the upgrade from PT10. I'm about to finish my 9-song record (has to be done Dec 31, 2014) but am very concerned that everything will mess up if I install right now, meaning, losing active plugins, non smooth install etc. Maybe I should mix/master 100% save as WAV files and then install 11.3? Help!!!

Do you need to go to 11 to finish the project ?
If not… don't… finish project, then make the move at you leisure :-)

I don't need 11 to finish this project. I just wanted to see if 11 offered anything sonically to my existing PT10 sessions.....:D

Re: Too Frightened to Install 11.3
 

Absolutely. PT11's advantages are really workflow-based anyway. Concentrate on the album, not on tech nightmares. You can have those on Jan 1st...

Don't do it! :D

anyone wanna hear a short clip of one song?

Re: Too Frightened to Install 11.3
 

Sure, I'd love to hear some.

Re: Too Frightened to Install 11.3
 

Nope, no sonic advantage to 11. Stick with 10 until the mission critical workload is done, then upgrade when you have time to risk a few bumps in the road - there probably will be bumps.

I'm in the exact same boat (though my project can run into January or Feb). Was considering making the purchase and then waiting until after the album was done to install. Glad to hear I'm not the only one w/ the jitters...

Question though (when I get around to doing the PT11 install), if I'm already running PT10, can my existing install run alongside with PT11, or do I have to uninstall my current PT10 and install the the PT10/PT11 upgrade? I'm guessing the latter, but just wanted to make sure.

Thanks,

You should be able to leave your current install of PT10. Here is the approved Co-Install page: http://avid.force.com/pkb/articles/e...ll-Information
