Free Pro Tools Application - Delete Prefs/Database now V2.1

[Bystah]

You probably have 2 different preferences files, trash them manualy, then it should work correctly.

Hey man, I get the "Is: /Users/Bystah/Library/Preferences/Pro Tools*Pref*: No such file or directory (1)" aswell. If I have two preference-files, how do I know where they are? Can't find em'

I'm trying to solve my "-DAE error 743" problem which happens ALL the time.

Thanks!/Bystah

The next version will include an Archive and Restore of the preferences.

Hi Craig
No, i have a copy, thanks for asking. Unless of course its later than version 2.3

I just wanted to link it to someone and found out its defunct.
Maybe Avid have integrated something similar into PT11

Cheers

Thanks to everybody for your support and comments for my Pref & database Helper.

You may have noticed that my web site is down. I learned it on the DUC. I did not had time to troubleshoot it, but it mysteriously happened when I changed my internet provider.

I also did not modified my softwares in the last two years, and on a completely «unrelated» matter my second kid is now two years old.

I would like to have time to update my softwares and recode them in cocoa. I even bought a book on cocoa programming. I still have to find the time to open it.

As far as I know, I’m a good sound editor, an OK mixer for TV shows, a very good tech support tech but I’m not a programmer. In september 2011 I started to work for Solotech here in Montreal in the video department. I now setup racks of video servers, network switch, fiber optic transmitters, dedicated DSP (as in audio it’s better than just native) processing machine. I really like the technical challenge, the huge quantity of new things to learn.

Now when I build a rack of servers it may go on the road for two years with close to no maintenance. Everything I learned about patching in sound studios is concentrated in
two 20 units racks.

I still love ProTools and I will upgrade to 11 and work with it, but not as my primary job.

I now have to maintain and upgrade 88 windows computers with 4 different softwares, only 4 MacPro, 20+ laptops, 33 dedicated servers, ?? control computers, more than 40 dedicated DSP machines, more than 140 video over optical fiber transmitters and kilometers of optical fiber (and all the network switches). All of this is scattered all around the globe. And everything (well, most of it) is heavier than a mouse, so it’s good for my health.

I will not receive any nomination for a Gémaux award, but when a tour tech look at a rack I made for him and say it's magical I fell very good.

I'm glad that Peter Gates created and share his PT Prefs as I can't maintain my own pref & database helper. As for my own, I hope that nobody needs it.

I will still read Pro Tools Expert and the DUC on a regular basis. I may sell my ProTools license but only to upgrade to HD native.

As for now I'm happy to work with a great (and big) team that can prepare all the equipments that goes on a tour (light, sound, video, rigging).

Thanks again
Jean-Charles

P.S. For those of you who would like to see one of my rack here is a half finished one:

P.P.S. I posted the same message on the ProTools Expert blog.

Good to hear from you.
The rack looks very nice.
