AVID: Split this forum into Mac & PC soon!
The title pretty much says it... I'd rather not page through tons of info on ASIO drivers when I work only on a Mac. It will make posts more directly relevant for all users. Thanks.

About the only time separate threads make sense is to discuss platform-specific issues. It would make so much more sense to have feature-related issues in one common thread, then have threads to discuss driver or platform issues that aren't common to all.

Re: AVID: Split this forum into Mac & PC soon!
I don't know, I got the impression, that most of the issues, that were adressed so far, are pretty much platform based, like installation and driver problems, plus "will-this-and-that-work-with-PT9" problems, which can also differ, according to the platform.
I vote for the split |

We'll get to it soon - we just wanted to get something up for the release. We'll need to reorganize a few other things too, but we'll get to it...

My guess is that you are a Windows user...

I'm a Windows user, and I would like to see it split...

Re: AVID: Split this forum into Mac & PC soon!
It would help if the users would:
a) Create signatures with their system and hardware details b) Prefix the thread with the platform (Eg. "OSX - Thread heading", "W7 - Thread heading") Rail

Re: AVID: Split this forum into Mac & PC soon!
I'm in favor of leaving the PT9 forum alone as a central idea exchange and turning the respective LE/MP forums into platform support forums that deal with earlier versions of the software.
I have both platforms.

Re: AVID: Split this forum into Mac & PC soon!
You guessed wrong. My primary platform is Mac but I use Windows laptops for field work because I had them for other Windows-specific apps. Plus I need a tablet for those and there aren't any for Macs.
I think the most important thing is organizing the forums so it is easy to find a topic. Fewer forums generally make this easier especially when a problem may exist in several different platforms (Mac vs PC) and programs (LE vs M-Powered vs TDM/HD). For example, a problem relating to functionality that exists in the Windows version of TDM/HD will most likely exist in the Mac LE version. Only issues that are related to the hardware itself, drivers or low-level code are likely to exist in one platform/subversion and not others. In my opinion, that means a single forum for Pro Tools functionality with other forum for platforms and interfaces.

Re: AVID: Split this forum into Mac & PC soon!
Couldn't you add a couple of custom thread icons with little PC and Mac pictures so then you know if a thread relates to a particular platform?
