Re: Eleven Rack Standalone Editor
 

Jeffro - I am on Win 7 Pro sp1.

Yeah I have no idea what was going on. I failed to mention earlier that I tried to install both with Webroot running and with it disable. The final installation was with it ON.

Like I said, I have had ZERO issues with my ProTools sessions, so I was extremely puzzled.

Thanks for being here and gathering info.

Re: Eleven Rack Standalone Editor
 

You bet. Thanks for the additional info. I just set up a Win 7 Pro desktop in the office recently so will check this out on that machine when I'm in the office this coming week.

Re: Eleven Rack Standalone Editor
 

Forget about it jeffro....after I commented he mentioned he hadn't even downloaded the app and wasn't going to. Go figure, huh??

Re: Eleven Rack Standalone Editor
 

After further use with the editor I have to sat thanks to Avid. Yes it is dark but it looks the same as the old built-in editor in PT10; ditto for the size although it would be nice if it could be made bigger. Something I noticed as regards the darkness is the background has a lot to do with that. Dark background like a dark desktop at least for me makes the 11R gui seem darker than it is. Not so bad with PT11 open as the background. Glossy screen on my iMac isn't helping either. But this is just my setup and others will be different.

Re: Eleven Rack Standalone Editor
 

I agree. Been using it now and it's working great. Nice to have it work with Logic X. Thanks Avid!!!

Re: Eleven Rack Standalone Editor
 

Does anyone know if Avid has plans to make the editor accessible from inside PT-11 (and beyond)? I could have sworn that I read that this was going to be part of the release a couple of weeks ago. Alas, age could be setting in. :confused:

Re: Eleven Rack Standalone Editor
 

Why is the download link not working for me??

I fill out the registration info, click the "submit button, then I click the "Eleven Rack Editor Installers" link and it takes me right back to the registration page without starting a download or giving me a list of installers to choose from.

Talk about frustrating…



EDIT:

Wow… So it was simply an issue of using Safari. I tried Firefox and it is now working. Dumb problem.

Re: Eleven Rack Standalone Editor
 

Sometimes, clicking on the download link in Safari will open a new window with Avid's 'download manager' ... just click download here and it should work without requiring an alternative browser :)

Re: Eleven Rack Standalone Editor
 

I just tried again with Safari out of curiosity. Now instead of looping me back to the registration page, it is just looping this page over and over when I click the "Eleven Rack Editor Installers" link. Firefox, on the other hand, launched the download manager immediately upon clicking the link. Oh well...

Re: Eleven Rack Standalone Editor
 

That happened to me as well - I rebooted and it worked as normal

Re: Eleven Rack Standalone Editor
 

OK - I downloaded it yesterday with Safari along with Space and associated IR files. Some (not all) used the download manager and others worked directly in Safari?!

Re: Eleven Rack Standalone Editor
 

It is accessible but you have to manually start the editor. Like I said I'd love to see it come up automatically when clicking on the still greyed-out menu item.

Re: Eleven Rack Standalone Editor
 

I actually had trouble w/ FireFox. The first time I tried to download it just sat there at 5%, the next attempt went to 1%, the third attempt got to 20%, after that I rebooted the computer and finally got the complete file. I suppose that could've been the result of having to update the Java plugins.

Re: Eleven Rack Standalone Editor
 

Notwithstanding the issues pointed out by Avid; It's debatable where the fault lies since a lot of us had it downloaded and up & running in no time.

Re: Eleven Rack Standalone Editor
 

Regarding 3.

Where did you see/hear that AVID was adding USB3 support? Does that include support for newer macs with an eleven rack? Been having connectivity issues with my 2012 mini.

Re: Eleven Rack Standalone Editor
 

Thanks! That helps a lot but it begs one question for me. If I use the latest driver for my 2012 mac mini (1.2) I'm only to use that with Mavericks. But Mavericks does not support dual installs of v10 and v11. So if I need that, and I do, do I stay with the 1.11 driver, on the latest mountain lion then? And hope that it works with my usb3 mac mini?

Re: Eleven Rack Standalone Editor
 

Sup everyone.. I was having a problem with the Editor that i thought i would share along with the fix. Might help someone.

First I'm running Win 7 SP1. So..

After downloading the editor then launching it. The Icon would end up in the task tray. When you clicked on it, Just barely you would see it flash from the icon to below the screen. Click the icon again and it would flash from the bottom back to the icon. Just like any other program but this would be totally off the screen to where you couldn't see it, and certainly not use it. This was the fix..

To "move" a window from offscreen, do the following:

Click the application in question on the task bar (needs to have focus and be in a restored state)
Move your cursor above the task bar until the thumbnail image appears
Right-click on the thumbnail image (you will be presented with the option menu, one of which is "Move")
Select the "Move" option
Left-click-hold on the desktop and drag the window into view

Hope this helps. Its a Win7 thing and not so much an Avid thing.

Re: Eleven Rack Standalone Editor
 

Hmm... you're the 3rd person who has mentioned having this problem on Windows 7.... I cannot replicate this on Windows 8.....

What kind of video card do you have? Nvidia, AMD/ATi ect....?

Re: Eleven Rack Standalone Editor
 

Its on a cheap I3 system and its running an Intel graphics card. Like i said earlier it's defiantly a W7 problem.

On a side note since i have your attention, I wanted to say Thank You very much for all the video's and hands on info that you provide for the 11R. Your video's and uploads of rigs not only help the experience of the rack was also one of the solid reasons I purchased the unit. So again Thank You and I pray you never loose interest in the rack. lol.

Re: Eleven Rack Standalone Editor
 

Re: Eleven Rack Standalone Editor
 

Yep +100

Re: Eleven Rack Standalone Editor
 

What he^ said...

Re: Eleven Rack Standalone Editor
 

+1. Dedication is a word that springs to mind :-)

And now we can use the next 4 years asking for a dedicated foot controller :D

Re: Eleven Rack Standalone Editor
 

Hey Bredo, Actually the ground control pro works perfectly with the 11R. When you go into setup it even ask if your are connecting to an 11R.

Ive been using the GCP for years now with many other rigs and it holds up like a tank thru a many many beer sinking nights. And yes i did say "Sinking" lol

Re: Eleven Rack Standalone Editor
 

Thanks, I will check it out.
Read about it 4 years ago, and kind of forgot about it.

Re: Eleven Rack Standalone Editor
 

I installed the standalone editor today on my 2011 MacBook Pro running Mavericks. It works perfect! The Eleven Rack and Logic Pro X are a super setup!

Re: Eleven Rack Standalone Editor
 

Hey Jeffro, I have the exact same issue as Cowboy Bob running Windows 7 SP1.

I upgraded to Pro Tools 11. Installed all plugs etc.
Then installed stand alone Eleven Rack driver and editor.

Ran the editor once and it worked! Then ran Pro Tools 11.
It identified the Eleven Rack as my default I/O so I switched it over to my Apollo.

Then I exited the editor as well, just to make sure i wasn't causing any conflicts.
Once I switched to the Apollo, Pro Tools 11 started giving me an Eleven Rack Communication Error with the option to reconnect. So I pushed it. It reloads everything and then clears and then immediately comes up with the same error.

So I decided I would shut everything down and go for a reboot.

Once rebooted I reconnected my Eleven Rack and launched the editor only to experience the white screen editor window. (mind you the File and Options menu are there)

It then appears to be loading all of the settings and once that completes the program minimizes to the task bar and will not return.

If you hover over the task bar it shows you the mini window and within that I can see a small White screen showing haha.

I uninstalled the driver and the editor and reinstalled and continue to get this exact problem.

I also had the same issue on install as Cowboy Bob that it wouldn't install the Visual C++ (2010) version. I went to the microsoft site and got a direct download of this. The installer for that informed me that a more recent version of that program was already installed on the system.

This evening I will attemp a full clean install of Pro Tools 11 and Eleven Rack.

Any other ideas?

Re: Eleven Rack Standalone Editor
 

A couple things you could try...

If you have Areo Peek on, hover over the Editor in your taskbar and once you get the Peek Window, Right Click the Peek Window and choose MOVE.

Or you can SHIFT+Right Click the Eleven Rack Editor in your taskbar and choose MOVE.

You can also read through this thread http://duc.avid.com/showthread.php?p=2126865

and look at other solutions other people have used.

Re: Eleven Rack Standalone Editor
 

Hey Benoni! Thanks for posting!

Went through those instructions and a couple of reinstalls.

It is now working!

However, it still makes no sense to me what so ever hahahaha.

The Shift+Right Click didn't seem to bring the graphics back.

But the instructions to "Bring to front" from the task manager, combinedwith a few restarts and re attempts seemed to work.

Maybe Avid can look into this as a bug for the next version?

I'll keep you guys posted if the problem re occurs.

Take care!

Re: Eleven Rack Standalone Editor
 

Another big "THANK YOU" to Benoni.

And thanks to Avid for the 11R Editor!

Re: Eleven Rack Standalone Editor
 

As far as I know, they are at least aware of the issue. I don't know if they will fix it though.

Also, there seems to be two different kinds of errors that happen to some people.

Some will have the Editor Minimize itself in the Taskbar and it won't let you Maximize it.

While with others, the Editor will Minimize itself in the TRAY, which is what sounds like happened to you, so you followed the correct directions, what I posted was for the Taskbar.

Just wondering, what kind of video card do you have?

Re: Eleven Rack Standalone Editor
 

I'm having the same issue others have reported here. The Editor worked great for a while, then just stopped. All I see is a blank box with a very thin portion of the Editor on the left hand side. I can at least now get this box to display instead of only showing on the task bar, but I can't get any more.

I've looked at the various fixes others have reported, I've re-installed, done all I can think of, all without success.

Anyone got any additional ideas? This was a GREAT program when it worked.

Re: Eleven Rack Standalone Editor
 

here is another option to fix...

Re: Eleven Rack Standalone Editor
 

I'm not so sure
I have the same problem on Win 8.1
it is only in the version 1.0 and Avid seems to be resting assured that their product is so perfect.
well guys, it's far from that.

Re: Eleven Rack Standalone Editor
 

Same issue here. Running Windows 7 Home Premium (V6.1 with SP1).

The standalone editor was working fine until yesterday then today it started with the minimised to task bar issue. Resolved via task manager.

The only thing I did different yesterday was to load some user presets downloaded from elevenrackpresets.
