Will D-Command work with a non-HD license
 

Hi

I'm about to set up a new studio with some folks which does not have HD licenses and the question is, if the D-Command will work with a standard PT 11 license and 3rd party hardware. As far as I can read it in the documentation only HD og complete production tools kits are supported, but I also think I saw somewhere that D-command was supported in regular PT 11.

It's probably a simple answer, but I just want to be sure :)

Thanks in advance.

I haven't tested it, and I only have HD licenses, but the docs states that the ICON surfaces are HD only.

I can't see how that would work (well) either, because quite a few of the really powerful automation features in PT are HD only as well, and tightly integrated with the console.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but this is what Avid said:


Using an Ethernet Control
Surface with Pro Tools

Avid offers several Ethernet-based control surface
options for Pro Tools.

D-Control and D-Command (Pro Tools HD Only)

D-Control and D-Command tactile control surfaces
are part of ICON, a flexible, integrated system
that extends the functionality of Pro Tools.

Thanks for the replies all though I was hoping it could work with a non-hd license, it was as I expected in the first place.

Is this still the case withPT12? Have thought about picking up a used D Command. PT 12.8.2 vanilla on Mac

AFAIK yes. No reason for it to change on an EOL'ed product.
