Default Just bought the subscription

Hey all,

I have used Ableton Live along while now and decided to switch to PT today
Reason: Ableton seems like it is not evolving.

Ill admit it was intimidating, but I need to see what i am missing......Well after 1 hour and 30 minutes on the phone with Tech Support ripping my PC apart they were not able to get it to launch.

Win7 64 SP1
i7 5960x
64Ram

So I filled out a money return request and will not be returning.
I really had hoped my experience would've been better.

It also concerned me that many people seem to have a bad taste in their mouths when it comes to Avid failing to fix the earlier version of PT.

See you

One thing all of us learned very early when dealing with ProTools on a Windows operating system, they support Very, let me say again very, few windows computers. That being said I've heard it runs really great on windows what you got the right machine. However the only way to guarantee going to work, is to be on a Mac.

There are some secrets that I found right here on the DUC that helped me get my Win7/PT 10/11 Vanilla rig working as well as my MacPro PTHD rig. PM me for the basics when you're up and running. First things first don't be trying this with an Office or common Gaming W7/8 rig. You gotta spec tightly and wall it off.
