Back to Pro Tools 9 from PT10

[SickTheory]

I am not sure if I posted on this side by]t I have left the world of PT10 and reinstalled PT9. Why did I do this, simple - PT10 didnt work me for and had too many issues that professionally I couldnt live with. It was costing me Money (school cost and this was for a grade) and even though the upgrade was free it just didnt pan out to the be better solution. PT10 is buggie as hell.

So, i figured Id post this as a positive message for anyone in my boat that must return to that which works best. For anyone that is looking to "DE Upgrade" I have a few things I want to mention.

First thing is make sure you save any files from PT10 to a readable file fr PT 7-9. Second, uninstall PT10 and I even sudgest going back to an image of you hard drive that is VOID of PT all together. I did a factory image and reinstalled. Third, UPDATE ALL DRIVERS ... and I mean anything that can be updated.

So far I am back with less issues, no clicks, no freexing when opening Aux Tracks, no playback problems. However, the files that were saved in a PTF format from PT10 are buggie so beware of that. Just slight issues.

I hope PT10 come out with an update that address some of these major concerns and if it does I will give it another shot. But right folks, if you dont have time to waiste dont upgrade yet. It will be worth the wait.

What reproducible issues are you referring too?

And some details about your computer hardware could help. Otherwise, good advice on backups(and I am still amazed at how many skip this....until they get bit in the *****). And don't get me started on all those 6-8 owners that don't write down their authorization codes in several places

As with the Reference Guide, the Quick Start Guide was binned too.
