pro tools m-powered essential on snow leopard
HELP!
i have recently purchased the fast-track interface from m-audio, this comes with pro tools m-powered essential 8.02... i have got the interface working great, all ready done some recording in garage band, so no problems there. i am currently running os x 10.6.2 (snow leopard) and obviously the version 8.02 wont run on snow leopard, so ok, o an update. great. ive downloaded the pro Tools M-Powered 8.0.3pr Updater for Snow Leopard (Prerelease). so here i am with some broken software and an update for it, only thing is i cant update the software because the updater says i dont have a version of pro tools m-powered installed. so im basically looking for some help on how to install pro tools essential 8.02 (with or without an update) on to snow leopard os x 10.6.2 would greatly appreciate any help, many thanks jake greenwood |

Re: pro tools m-powered essential on snow leopard
Just wanted to clarify that Pro Tools Essential is not compatible with Snow Leopard yet.
And keep in mind there's a difference between Pro Tools M-Powered Essential and the standard Pro Tools M-Powered. Essential is a scaled down version of M-Powered. From the Pro Tools 8.0.3pr Snow Leopard Prerelease details page: Quote:

Re: pro tools m-powered essential on snow leopard
ok then, on the linked page you sent, i had all ready downloaded the 'Pro Tools M-Powered 8.0.3pr Updater for Snow Leopard (Prerelease)' so if this does not work for pt essential what am i supposed to do now, as there is not one for 'm-powered essential'.
I am extremely disappointed that there was nothing to say that this wouldn't work with snow leopard when i bought it, i was told 'mac users require OS X 10.5.5 OR GREATER'!!!! at the time of me attempting to install it i was running 10.6.2...... so to anybody with half a brain this sounds like there is going to be no problems. |

Re: pro tools m-powered essential on snow leopard
Me too. I just purchased the Pro Tools Keystudio 49-key keyboard with Pro Tools M-Powered Essential, and I am running Mac OS X 10.6.2 Snow Leopard. It is most unfortunate that I can't run the software.
If you can offer a beta version of the regular Pro Tools 8 that will run on Snow Leopard, certainly somebody at Avid can compile a beta version of Pro Tools Essential 8.x that can do the same. Please make a beta version available. You're going to sell a lot of Pro Tools Keystudio packages to Snow Leopard users this Christmas season! |

Re: pro tools m-powered essential on snow leopard
I was able to get Pro Tools Essential 8.02 installed and running correctly on Mac OS X 10.6.2 Snow Leopard. It wasn't that hard, but you have to do it without the installer package that Digidesign provides. Furthermore, I don't know if every last feature of the program is running correctly or not. All that I have tested is that I installed the basic ProTools Essential itself, got it to import and edit a large standard MIDI file (exported from Sibelius 6.1), and used it for playback with Garritan Personal Orchestra 4, an external virtual instrument. I have not yet tried any plug-ins or signal processing, or recording audio.
Send me a private message here and I'll tell you how I did it. |
