Default Pro Tools Le 7.3 DAW Software Download

hey folks,

i'm having a major problem here.
i worked on pro tools LE 8.0 for a while now and everything was fine, a few bugs here and there but you guys know what im talking about.

so here my prob:

- i updated to pro tools LE 8.0.3
- now it crashes all the time
- i do not like the way the region tool is now
- and the highlighting is even worse.

i uninstalled it, and tried to install PT LE 7.4 but i have a 003 and the software that came with it is PT LE 7.3 so i just can authorize LE 7.3 and then the upgrade to PT LE 8.0
i can find all my stuff and activation cards but not my PT LE 7.3 CD at my studio..

and here my question:

i just found a download link for PT LE 7.4 but i really need a software download for PT LE 7.3

for LE 7.3 there just was some tiny 0.39 mb update thing or pdf

thanks for any help out there!
cheers!

Ok, let's clear up a few misconceptions before we go any further.

7.3 will NOT run on any version of OSX past 10.4.11. So if you are running Leopard or Snow Leopard, forget about it. You need at least 7.4.2 to run on at least 10.5.4.

7.4 was a paid upgrade from 7.3, so you might as well just buy 8.0. Now, another thing about 8.0... it is a full version on its own. You do NOT need a previous version of Pro Tools installed, in fact, you are much better off uninstalling any previous versions first. If you purchase 8.0 and register it, you will receive a download link to a full installation of 8.0.3. Meaning, no update path, and far less chances for problems. Again, you should always install a full, clean version whenever possible, so this is your best bet for success with 8.0.3.

What version of OSX are you using, and what model of Mac are you running? If you are running 10.6 (Snow Leopard) you really don't have much of a choice, as no version before 8.0 will even install, and no version of 8.0 is officially qualified except 8.0.3.

hey there, thanks for the reply..

its not about having 7.3 running again, i want to have LE 8.0 again that's it

i didnt know that 8.0 is able to be installed stand-alone..
because i do own the 8.0 upgrade!

so thats what i am gonna try just to install 8.0 upgrade on its own
i do not want to work on 8.0.3 because im really unsatisfied with it and it didnt even fix the group color bug what's the only thing i was looking for!


merci ill let you guys know if it worked!

Yeah, it is rather misleading that PT8 is called an "upgrade." I suppose it is, technically "ugrading" from 7, but it should most certainly be installable by itself without a previous version.

I am currently running 10.5.8 with 8.0.1cs1 with no issues to speak of, FWIW. I have been a bit hesitant to move on to 8.0.3 since my current system works well.

If you're having problems with plugins... you may need to update them separately, since moving up to PT8.

Best place to start is here:

Which will give you an idea of what you might need to update.
