I don't feel so ripped off anymore
Pro Tools HD8 is worthless imho and I always felt digi ripped me off for the $250 upgrade from day 1.I do love 8's new plugs and VI's though.Well today I copied over all of 8's plugs and VI's to my 7.4 drive and they work flawlessly in 7.4.........even better then in 8 because in 8 DB33 would never load and was always put in the "Unused plugin" folder.What a pos 8 is but in 7.4 it loads perfectly everytime.Now I have a rock solid bulletproof system in 7.4 with those awesome 8 plugs!
The one and only thing I miss is the 10 inserts.I will run this setup for a few years but I am finished with digidesign/avid because they dropped the ball and are full of nothing but excuses blaming us loyal customers for their crap software not working like it should and dodging most of our threads(6031 especially!).Shame on them and I hope they get what they deserve(no more sales).Goodbye ole -6031!!!!May PT8 be the last nail in digis coffin!PEACE AND GOOD RIDDENS DIGI!!!!!

Re: I don't feel so ripped off anymore
As always, YMMV, but PT8 works just fine for me on both a Mac HD system and a PC based LE system.

Re: I don't feel so ripped off anymore
MEAT, something is definitely wrong with your PT8 build, I don't know if I ever saw a -6031 error on any of my systems, HD, LE or M-Powered and DB33 works everywhere too, never had any issues you're describing.
First thing that could be causing issues would be an outdated version of some plug-in you have in there. Can't think of anything else at the moment. I'm not saying that PT8 isn't messed up but I've been able to work full time for a long time now without issues. |

Re: I don't feel so ripped off anymore
i'm with meat ..i'm pretty well set with what i use now and i just got rid of my second mac backup system. keeping my windows pci hd 3 system and i'm not planning on upgrading anymore or upgrading any of my waves ,mcdsp or pro tools plugins as what i have works .. pretty ridiculous that with ever new version of pro tools you have update endless plugins . 8.0.1 is useless never worked ! just don't see how you can go from a working system to one upgrade and have digi to tell me that what i have and what i've been using for the last year is at fault. just so digi will know i've spent my last money with you pro tools 8.o cs3 hd 3 system with 192-96I-96 i/o and control 24

Re: I don't feel so ripped off anymore
I was very frustrated with the 6031 errors too.
I followed all Digi's advice and pretty much removed all my plugins with no joy. I discovered that installing 8's drivers had caused some IRQ sharing which i think caused some problems. However, the last thing i did was update my VST to RTAS plugin by Fxpansion and remove and re wrap all my VST plugins..BINGO! Not a single 6031 error for 2 weeks now :) Hope you get this sorted..I much prefer 8 to 7.4 now..althougth i can no longer use "narrow mix" mode as the graphics aren't clear any more in this mode compared to 7.4
