The MIDI I/O drivers are an optional installation check box when you are installing Pro Tools 8 from Pro Tools 8.x DVD or Pro Tools 8.x full web installer.

Pro Tools HD 8.1 is only available currently as a web updater, so if you installed the MIDI I/O drivers in any previous installation of Pro Tools 8, the drivers would be updated.

You should be able to run your Pro Tools 8.0.x installation, and check only the MIDI I/O box to install that, and then run the 8.1 updater again.

Midi I/O works perfectly here.

Im on 8.0.1 HD and not upgraded yet, plus im on 10.5.8 and dont want to move up to SL due to other plug in compatibility etc

So the new 8.1 is out for me then if im on 10.5.8?

So whats the last latest version I can use on 10.5.8? is it 8.04?

If so whats the safest and easiest way to upgrade PT to this last latest version that i can use?

Thanks (never updated before and heard that it has to be done a certain way??)
