Re: ProTools Problems
The thing is I only have a license for Pro Tools 11.2.2, I never went and purchased 12 or higher. The thing is there is no legacy download for 11.2.2 so it looks like I'm out of luck. I have been trying to find a place on the Avid site for a license to buy 12.5 but no joy as of yet and if I do it may be a lot more expensive then the price I paid to upgrade to 11.2.2
I did download the legacy version of 12.5 just to see if it would work, of course it didn't, iLok very kindly told me - not gonna happen . Like I said can't find anywhere to buy it outright. Maybe someone is selling a license I really do not want to use a subscription based model, I don't use Pro Tools enough to justify that kind of expense. Maybe it's time to swallow my pride at just buy Reaper

Pro Tools needs an ASIO interface, so it needs your Eleven Rack to be working. But the Eleven Rack compatibility matrix is orthogonal to that for Pro Tools. As pointed out before you should be able to easily get the Eleven Rack running on Windows 10 with the latest drivers. You can test it works at least as a Windows audio device, or ever better test with some other program that uses ASIO. As pointed out before you need to separate the Eleven Rack and Pro Tools compatibility issues and solve your problems. As pointed out before the Eleven Rack Editor is entirely separate, there are known issues, just for now don't install it and get stuff running first then come back to that once everything else is working, and worse case you don't *need* it. You are absolutely just wasting time with an ancient Pro Tools version that is known not to work on Windows 10. All the pain here is self inflicted. So what are you going to do? ... Buy a subscription? Or did you do what I suggested days ago and contact dealers seeing if they can sell you updates from the recently expired (Ended Dec 31st) update/renewal promotion program? Or give up on Pro Tools or find an old Windows 7 etc. system. The choices should be clear, you need to make a decision. Last edited by Darryl Ramm; 01-04-2022 at 07:22 PM. |

Re: Pro Tools Problems
And I can't remember if it was mentioned before in all these threads... but you can get a free one month trial of current Pro Tools and get your Windows 10 system working with that trial, then buy a subscription once you are happy (or buy monthly subscriptions if you need more time).
If you are working on game development hopefully you are being paid to do that and this stuff is an investment, and tax write off. Spinning your wheels with stuff known to not work is not only frustrating as hell for you, it's costing you $$$ for your time. And for stuff *expected* to work with Windows 10 … if does not then test it on a new clean Windows 10 test install. Last edited by Darryl Ramm; 01-05-2022 at 10:28 AM. |

So does a Focusrite and interfaces of that ilk all have ASIO built-in? And say, if I were to stop using the 11R and Pro Tools what type of "Interface" does say Reaper need so it will work? I suppose I am asking it how do non-guitarists use Pro Tools if the don't have an ASIO interface? Quote:

Yes Focusrite drivers effectively all support ASIO (for any driver they supply, some products with class compliant devices and no Focusrite supplied might not, but I think Focusrite supplies drivers now for Windows for all their interfaces.). Vendors who don't ever mention ASIO in a spec, likely don't support it. Every vendor in the audio world knows how important ASIO support is. But to repeat exactly what I've said before... to be precise more recent versions of Pro Tools can use WASAPI as well as ASIO. But the point of saying that is I don't' want you seeing "WASAPI" and thinking you could use that, even if you upgrade to a more recent version you *don't* want WASAPI, so in effect yes you need an ASIO interface. And your Eleven Rack is an ASIO interface... (as well as being a Windows audio interface for other apps) and the Avid drivers support Windows 10, so it should work.... once you have a version of Pro Tools that support Windows 10. Things are how they are, not how you think they are you and I know there is some core confusion/something here that is tripping you up. But you have to learn to listen. |

And you really haven't made anything clearer. If you learnt to explain concepts without jargon then everything will become clearer to the non-initiated - which clearly I am. I am a guitarist with no knowledge of audio engineering. I could use the nomenclature of the martial arts to tell you how to do a particular move, or, I could show you how to do the same move using plain English, which do you think would be better?

You might or might not have luck buying Pro Tools 12.5. That was the last version that did not require people to get on board with getting on a perpetual update/support plan and I don't follow why but it may be there are less of those licenses for sale than other ones... when I'd have thought the opposite. You should hopefully be able to buy any version license 12.5 or later, and I would want a later one anyhow, including for features like disk cache (in 12.6), significant cough improvements in AAX processing (in 2019.5 ... AAX processing was causing some folks serious problems before that) and official Windows 10 2021H2 support in more recent releases. I'm not defending Avid's pricing or licensing plans, I don't like them. I am just pointing out what you might want to think about. You can also just go on a monthly subscription licenses, and not renew that when not using. |
