Is the PT .5.0 stable version?

[JACEK GAWLOWSKI]

Hi!
I have been using 4.3.1 for some time with no problems,but now I wish to upgrade to v.5.0 for its MIDI capabilities.Users,please confirm that it is stable.Are there any major bugs in it,have anyone experienced any problems?

rock solid here. the midi is way cool...we're headed in the right direction.

Touch wood, I've used it for about 100 hours and haven't yet had a single crash.

The only problem I had was once when I had to keep closing and opening different sessions. After about 15 times PT gradually got slower and slower. Following a reboot, all went back to normal.

I can't speak for anyone else but for me at least it's been rock solid so far.

Same here..SOLID NEVER CRASHED...MIDI is great not as feature full as cubase but enough to get the job done..Vocals sound better also..don't know why I'm using the same sardware as when I was using cubase

hey, no fair. i want to be able to say "nocrashes" too. what system, comuter, scsi card, video card, hard drives are you useing that you never crash?

But the BIG QUESTIONS:

Are you using Waves?
Are you using a HUI?

Any conflict? I'm still timid about upgrading.

I'm using Waves 2.8.1 and a HUI with PT 5.0. No problems here.

I'm using Waves 2.8.1 but no HUI and 5.0's been at least as stable as 4.3.1 was -- especially after someone reminded me to check the disk cache settings in the memory control panel. Digi says 512k or lower -- I was advised "as low as possible," which is what I did. And now, it's all good.

We just upgraded to PT5.0 Mix on a B/W G3450. We were running 4.3 on an unqualified APS MPower clone with absolutey no problems. I can't say that 5.0 is crash free, but it is very cool. Isn't there a know bug with regards to the computer hanging up on boot aprox. 2 out of every 10 times? I've seen a few crashes in our new setup, but we've gotten so use to saving all the time, they haven't been an issue. Don't get me wrong... PT 5 and our new Pro Control is way cool. I'm a true Digi believer.
