I want to use my old Pro Tools but I dont have my Mbox Anymore!
Hello everyone!
I wanted to use my Pro Tools 11 from a while back and when I tried to start it up with my iLok, Pro Tools gave me an error at start up saying I needed to connect my Mbox. Unfortunately I've sold it years back and don't have it anymore. So my question is, is there a way to convert my Pro Tools to a stand alone DAW? or is there an easy affordable upgrade so I could use the Pro Tools once again? Thank you!! |

Welcome to the community.
Are you sure it's v11? We added standalone functionality in Pro Tools 9, so Pro Tools 11.x should run on your computer's built-in hardware or third party interface. See avid.secure.force.com/pkb/articles/Troubleshooting/Pro-Tools-won-t-recognize-my-interface for more info and reply with your computer, OS, etc. if unable to solve it.

Re: I want to use my old Pro Tools but I dont have my Mbox Anymore!
I just have a PC with windows 10. I dont have any interface currently... I've sold all my recording equipment a few years back. I now have a humble USB microphone and wanted to record some stuff with my old Pro Tools. So I dont have an interface or any built-in hardware. Is it possible to use Pro Tools.
This is what i see in my products (the pro tools academic isnt something i own though) And im quite sure ive upgraded to Pro Tools 11 back in the days. It's been so long so I'm sorry for the lack of information! |

Pro Tools 11.3.1 doesn't require an Mbox, but also was not tested/qualified on Windows 10, see avid.secure.force.com/pkb/articles/Compatibility/Pro-Tools-Operating-System-Compatibility-Chart.

So it's not looking specifically for your Mbox, but Pro Tools needs audio hardware to run. Try launching with the N key down to get to the Playback Engine window to see if you can select your USB mic (you might need a driver for that). Otherwise perhaps try ASIO4ALL to use the computer's built-in audio hardware. See avid.secure.force.com/pkb/articles/Troubleshooting/en380919 and avid.secure.force.com/pkb/articles/How_To/How-to-use-Pro-Tools-and-ASIO4ALL (but you'll still likely have issues running PT11 on Win10).
