Reverting from 2018.3 to 2018.1
Hello, I wish to revert back to 2018.1. I am on 2018.3 at the moment and I have done all the specifics, i.e.:
Log in to my Avid Account > My Account > My Products and Subscriptions > Annual Upgrade Plan for Pro Tools (Reinstatement). Clicked on 'Show' beside Product Details and Download Links. Download my installers for Pro Tools 2018.1. (the usual...) I have downloaded it twice now... But each time it is still showing the 2018.3 version. I have never even contemplated downgrading before - and I never had to - however, this time I need to re-examine a sonic technicality. What is the procedure for this please?

and you did not mention if MAc or PC .. if MAc, you can install both (just change the name of the one that is installed now .. ie: 18.0.3.285 .. if PC, you cannot have multiple versions of pro tools installed at same time

Re: Reverting from 2018.3 to 2018.1
Hello, I assume you read my post - because I have explained everything there. Maybe I should of explained myself more...
I have downloaded 2018.1, (thrice now!) - but, when I 'Launch' Pro Tools it is still showing the 2018.3.0 version in the bottom left hand corner. I want it to show the: 2018.1 version. It's a Mac. Thanks |

Or you can simply rename the app 2018.1 and run the installer to have them both installed. Make sure you clean up what's in the Dock so the correct version gets launched. |

I have never had to do this before so bear with me...

And I will not have to do this, see below: http://avid.force.com/pkb/articles/e...uninstall-PT11 Because the bit about...: If reverting back to a previous version of Pro Tools (e.g. 12.0 to 11.3.1), simply move the following files to the trash to manually remove Pro Tools from a Mac system: Mac HD/Applications/Pro Tools (app) Mac HD/Library/Audio/MIDI Patch Names/Avid (folder) Mac HD/Library/Application Support/Propellerhead Software/Rex (folder) Mac HD/Library/Application Support/Avid/Audio (folder) Mac HD/Users/home/Library/Preferences/Avid/Pro Tools (folder) NOTES: - The Audio folder contains "Plug-In Settings", "Plug-Ins" and "Plug-Ins (Unused)" - Most 3rd Party Plug-Ins are also installed in this "Plug-Ins" folder. Please back up the folders or just move to your desktop if needed. is kind of daunting! And I am not sure if this will apply to the versions - I am currently on now...? So... Which is the right way?

Re: Reverting from 2018.3 to 2018.1
Recap:
I wish to revert back to 2018.1 from 2018.3 Hello, 1. When you state: ''Before you install Pro Tools 2018.1, make sure to uninstall your current version first.'' How do I do that? Are you saying I have to uninstall pro tools? 2. http://avid.force.com/pkb/articles/e...uninstall-PT11 This link is nearly three years old! - surely there is a newer version? And the information contained in it - is laborious. Somebody told me I had to do this, see below: ''Simply delete the app from the applications folder and run the installer for the one you want. Or you can simply rename the app 2018.1 and run the installer to have them both installed. Make sure you clean up what's in the Dock so the correct version gets launched.'' ...And somebody tells me I have to do that! There seems to be conflicting opinions here. Which method is the correct procedure for the Mac? Could you go through this, step-by-step for me please? I just want to go back to 2018.1 - how hard can it be? Thanks F Last edited by jamesleonard; 03-11-2018 at 07:16 PM. |
