Is it worth keeping PT10?

[ajazzie]

He all,
Just need a few opinions please.

Is it worth reinstalling a laptop back to win 7 to run Protools 10 as to keep my old Control 24 in service? Or even dual boot?

I have made a change to a different DAW after 25 years for various reasons and can’t find myself leaving the 24.

As I’ve never run pt on a laptop I figure I can use pt 10 that from all accounts is pretty stable, can still use vst and can run my control 24.

I probably won’t use it as my main system but is it worth a try? Most of my sessions are only 20-30 tracks so it shouldn’t struggle too much.

Just thoughts, I’m not easily offended :)

To keep your Control|24 alive, take a look at this, and try the demo.

I recommend it highly, and I have no affiliation with the company. The company owner Paul Neyrinck is very responsive with technical help.
My Pro Control works with Pro Tools 2021.7, Logic Pro X, Ableton Live, and many others.
With Logic I even get an 8-character scribble strip (dunno how they managed that one), but Pro Tools is only 4 characters. Meters, Faders, Mutes, Solos, Transport, all work perfectly - albeit with a slight reduction in fader-resolution for Pro Tools.
The Pro Control button quality and layout is still second to none, and makes many modern control surfaces look like a joke - particularly some of the modern Avid offerings such as the S3 with truly absurd design elements as Select & Record Arm Buttons between faders (I kid you not)

^^^ this ^^^ The Pro Control is a great control surface.

Thanks all.
Great advice. I just downloaded the latest pt trial along with v pro control.

Sort of a godsend for me and even this latest version of protools seems snappy,
If only I could sort my vst plugs????

Is that still possible???

Thanks again!!!!

What VST plugins do you have that are not available as AAX64? In any case, BlueCat's Patchwork and MB7 can both host VST's
