Default Unable to locate Hardware Pro Tools 10.3 Express

Hi everyone!

I have Pro Tools Express version 10.3 running on both OS, Win 7 and Win 10.I had an Avid Fast Track Solo interface and everything goes fine. Now, I have a Focusrite 18i8 1st generation, which all the drivers installed. When I'm trying to launch Pro Tools, I get the error:

"Unable to locate hardware. Make sure your Hardware is connected and turned on..."

I've read other post here and I tried to solve the problem installing Asio4all but it doesn't work.

Can anyone help me?

I don't know if maybe Pro Tools Express only works with Avid Interfaces.

Thanks.

Hi StillHollow!

Can I upgrade my ProTools express to ProTools 12? I don’t known the version that you mentioned.


Thanks!

The latest version is 2018.4 as versions are now numbered by release year and update month. As to upgrading from Express, I don't have the answer.
