Air instrument expansion pack 2, upgrade worth it?
Hey is the Air instrument expansion pack 2 upgrade worth it?
I still have the version 1 stuff, and am not sure I can still get the $99 upgrade price. I'm on Mac OS 10.7.5, is the latest Protools 10 version 10.3.7 the best version? Or should I stay at 10.2? or something in between ? Thanks! |

It's worth it.
Loom alone is worth the price of the bundle. If you havent updated to the latest version (10.3.7, now) then you probably should. There are some Lion-related fixes in there. |

Thanks guys! Just wanted to make sure it was a wise investment.
I was able to get all my info for Air so I can get the $99 upgrade makes it even more of a no brainer. And thanks mesone for the the pt version info, I haven't used Pt in a while or trolled the boards so that''s good to know as well. Thanks again and happy composing! PS can't wait to start using transfusor again! |

Very well worth it. You not only get some improvements and enhancements to the original 5 of the PTIEP but get Vacuum Pro and Loom as a bonus. Either one alone is worth the $99. Do it!

Long time no post huh Have you got all those installers sorted out and can actually use all of the 7! instruments for $99 as that is what I would pay just for LOOM hehe MSRP of LOOM is $199 so imagine getting 6 more instruments for that half off from LOOM ... It is a no brainer even of the launch was a trainwreck All the Best and let me know next time you are on a biz trip as I am waiting for Slate and Kush Chris

For $99 it's definitley worth it. However I find the some of the NI VI's much more usable for what I'm doing.

Upgrade and never look back !! Works like a charm with Pro Tools 11 ... no errors whatsoever ... it's a real arsenal for your creativity and different styles of music production ... It did save a lot of headaches finding other instruments

He'll Yes. I stayed away for a long time. Couldn't pass up that deal. Transfuser alone is worth the price.
When downloading, you may want to get a good book to read☺️

Re: Air instrument expansion pack 2, upgrade worth it?
I've got a new Macbook Pro running mavericks & PT11, which obviously doesn't run RTAS. Should I install the RTAS version anyway and the go in for the upgrade or is the upgrade a full installer?
