Pro Tools First?
Anyone seen this? Is this a replacement for Protools Express?

Welcome FIRST!
hallo,
i'm writing from Italy! For me FIRST is a good idea, and i want to try (and even in the future buy) Pro Tools. I am new to this software. Questions: - it is necessary to have AVID hardware? - i have a iMac late 2011, 2.5 i5 processor with 12GB ram: it is ok? - OSX Needed? - the date of releaseeee??? Thank you very much, Mario - Genova |

Re: Welcome FIRST!
Q: it is necessary to have AVID hardware?
A: No, it will work with any ASIO or Core Audio interface. I'll have to get back to you on your other questions as I'm not sure of the required system specs and supported OSX versions. Here is a link to the Pro Tools Comparison Table where you can find what features each version supports. |

Re: Welcome FIRST!
If no Avid hardware is required, I asume that directly with the line-in and headphones-out mini-jacks in the computer should you be up and working?
What about the system requirements? For an entry level software...an entry level hardware like a 21,5" i5@1,4 GHz 8Gb RAM 2014 iMac would suffice (*)? Yosemite? Mavericks? Last but not least...when is the software intended to come out? Regards... Edit: (*) It is intended to record a maximum of 4 or 6 tracks, with a simple chorus and reverb. Not beyond that. |

Re: Welcome FIRST!
You may want to consider the 30 day trial for Pro Tools. It is available now. First is limited in several areas.
Most users are recommending an i7 processor, at least 8 GB of RAM. You can try with less but may find slowness. PT 11.3 works with Yosemite. It is recommended you have matched RAM sticks all the same size. How did you get to 12 GB? You can read the compatibility docs from the link at the top of this page.

Re: Welcome FIRST!
Your guess is as good as mine as far as when ProTools first and ProTools 12 will debut

Re: Welcome FIRST!
I realize that, but licenses for PT 9 seem to still be around $200-300 and are not all that easy to find.
PLEASE correct me if I'm wrong; I've scoured ebay/CL/Gearslutz but only a little bit on the DUC. |
