Re: i have a Question about Upgrading Pro Tools
Having been through the pain of it all last year, PT 8.0.1cs1 is the most stable version and which all 3rd party apps work. I wouldn't go to 8.0.3 because there seems to be a lot of bugs in it that are not in 8.0.1cs1. Ive been running 8.0.1cs1 for 6 weeks now and not encountered any issues and its solid
When you upgrade from 7.2, make sure you get a new drive and install Leopard completely fresh onto this drive. Don't under any circumstances go over the top of Tiger with Leopard....you'll have so many problems and life is too short its not worth the aggro. When your new drive is at 10.5.8, install PT8 and then upgrade to 8.0.1cs1 and you should be absolutely fine
It might be a big pain in the backside having to set up the new drive installing all your apps and authorizations, but the fact is, its the only way to do it for a smooth upgrade
