It cut the beach ball time down from 8-10 seconds to 3-4 seconds. Better but not good enough. Let's see what happens on 10.

Installed 10 but once that was done I realized that my ancient Ilok 1 wasn't going to work. Ordered an Ilok 3 off Amazon but it won't be here for a week. Haha. Got to love it.

Oh sorry, didn't realize those still exist for what it's worth you are going to love the v3 key as it is practically impossible to break compared to v1

You know, when you get back into this stuff after taking a decade off and dust off the old gear you find a relic or 2. I think I have 3 or 4 original iloks plugged into a hub right now.

While I wait (for what seems like forever) for my ilok 3 to arrive I loaded PT 2020 onto my Dell T5810 with an RME Multiface and tried to insert an external compressor. There was zero lagging like there was on PT9. I'm hoping PT10 fixes that so I can get back to my mac.



The PC is working very well and seems to have tons of power but there are strange workarounds to make that RME setup work. Hats off to RME for still providing drivers to such an old piece of hardware.
