Why Did You Go For 11 Now?
I'm not trying to start any friction but just seeing why you guys have jumped into it so early? Is this your main set up? Thanks in advance.

Re: Why Did You Go For 11 Now?
Why? 11 co-installs with 10.

Re: Why Did You Go For 11 Now?
I truly hope so otherwise we need to redo this whole install now before we do too much work in "maybe the wrong place"
Please elaborate when you have time Best Regards Chris

My main reason was the offline bounce. I do long format stuff and the real-time bounce was killing me. Now I can bounce at 109 times real-time. The new Avid Audio Engine is much smoother in operation. No more CPU spikes. 11 has much more power than I need but that just means it will work great with my lessor demands. You can get the free demo to try out 11. I'll be mixing with 10 due to the shortage of my Waves plugs not being ready. But I'll be tracking with 11.

Re: Why Did You Go For 11 Now?
As a moderator, the user community expects me to be able to answer questions about v11. If I do not have the answer, hopefully another moderator does.
I already know what I need to know about v10.3.6. The Lion Sleeps Tonight since v11 is only qualified for Mountain Lion. Eventually Apple will stop releasing security updates for Lion. I'm shocked that they continue to provide security updates for Snow Leopard. If I want to know what the gotchas are with v11, the only way to find out is to use it. I already discovered 2 issues with v11. One issue is just strange, and the other is a 100% reproducible crash. It pays to know the gotchas now so that when I upgrade from TDM-->HDX, I know what I am getting into. I need to find alternatives for plug-ins that didn't make the AAX64 cut, such as SignalTools. Most of what I work on in my spare time doesn't require much beyond what AVID includes, so I can jump right in and not lose anything critical to my workflow.

Re: Why Did You Go For 11 Now?
It works both ways though. The trial can steer people away or attract people to it. I was going to wait until the eleven rack gui was fixed to jump in, but after the trial I gotta say if it only gets better from here count me in!
Once you offline bounce, there is no going back.

Re: Why Did You Go For 11 Now?
I went now because I don't really have much in the way of plugins outside of Avid. Some NI stuff but I can ReWire with Reaper and make that happen if I need it. There are so many positives that if you can wade through the activation nightmare (glad I did pre-ordered and activated before the new iLok stuff came out) and the plugin issue, it's all good from there. I'm so tired of DAE errors. 9 and 10 were just so fragile on Windows 7, even with Avid hardware, whereas 11 has been rock solid for me. I haven't been in my Mountain Lion Hackintosh since I got 11 installed on Windows 8. If I need to go back, 10.3.5 is still in ML, but I'm not planning on it. PT just has the very best in workflow for my needs, or I'd have abandoned Avid long ago.
Can't wait to get my first AAE error. |

Re: Why Did You Go For 11 Now?
I've been running x64 for years using the Cakewalk now Roland products for midi work. I recently converted to Protools which I think is a drastic sonic and feature rich improvement. I have however been missing the large memory model of x64 when dealing with multiple powerful virtual instruments. This version pulls it all together for me.
Another reason is AAX; an x64 plugin platform matched to the environment. VSTs have such a range of variables because other DAW companies don't always implement the full capabilities. If there are not any show stoppers in PT11, Avid may have re-asserted themselves with this release. Glad to be along for the ride. |

Re: Why Did You Go For 11 Now?
Years ago I wanted a TDM system but couldn't afford it. I stuck with vanilla PT for sooooo long.
The timing was right for me to upgrade so I went with PTHD Native & since 11 was included with v10 purchase, I took the leap. So far I'm extremely glad I did.
