Interesting Discovery

[albee1952]

Running 11.3 on Windows 7 and was comparing system usage between it and 12.6 on windows 10 with the same template session and made an odd discovery. With all the AUDIO tracks in record and transport rolling(in record), I am able to click the R button on an instrument track and it goes into record while the session is rolling. Also, if I hit R on a second instrument track, it goes into record and the first instrument track stops recording. Or, I can hold Alt and hit R on either instrument track and both will start recording. Transport never stopped and I am in Quick-Punch mode. I could not do the same with audio tracks. Seems odd to me

BTW, cpu usage hovered around 32-50% with 11.3/Win7. The same session on 12.6/Win10 showed cpu between 48 and 70%.

There is a hint for this in the Ref Guide (p.416), seems normal.

Now that is the interesting discovery for me. Once more glad for keeping PT11 and Win7.

I wonder how 11.3/Win 7 compares with 12.6/Win 7.

I have no intention of leaving Win 7, but do have a license for PT 12.6...hmmm.

I couldn't get my HDN hardware to show up with 12.6 on Win7. Never figured out why, either.
