Default Using M-Audio Fast Track Pro With Pro Tools HD????

Well I went to the store a few months ago and bought the m-audio fast track pro and Pro Tools M-Powered, 2 months later the Pro tools hd upgrade for mac came out so i bought it, i have the licenses for Pro Tools HD on my ilok and it seems to authorize pro tools hd but it cant find the digidesign hardware, is there anyway that i can get my m-audio interface to work with pro tools hd? or do i have to buy some digidesign hardware? if so, wut do i need to buy and how much???

Thanks in advance

Well. Umm. Let's see.

Yes. You need to buy the Pro Tools HD hardware in order to use the Pro Tools HD software.

This might be a good place to start.

I wouldn't say you're screwed, exactly. Perhaps chalk it up as a learning mistake to fully research something before you buy it?

A minimum HD system consists of at least a core and an interface.

So if you wanted to build an absolutely MINIMAL HD system, you'd be looking at around $10,000US (give or take depending on your relationship with the dealer). For what it's worth, a new HD core system will include the newest software anyway.

Wow, Shawn, no need to be so condescending...

Sometimes these things can be confusing to new users, and those morons at Guitar Center don't help the cause either for people trying to do the research... And for the record, sometimes doing the research doesn't help because technology changes quickly... (for example, I spent like $400 for Motu Ethnos--worked great with 7.4 no problems, but when I went up to PT8, it is not compatible--I did my research--had I known it wasn't going to work with PT8, I might have held off on it, but I couldn't find anything to suggest it would not since 8 hadn't dropped yet.)

Anyway, OP yes, You need HD hardware to run HD software. To use the M-Audio hardware you need Pro Tools M-Powered software which doesnt come with the USB device you bought. However, it is only $99 at the retail shops and comes with an Ilok key.

Why cant people just help with out having to be so high and mighty on this site. SHEESH!
