Hey everyone,

I've been looking for the Pro Tools installation guides, but I can only find them up until 2018.1 - mainly to make sure I'm optimising macOS keyboard bindings. I've recently fresh installed everything and so all my preferences have been defaulted.

Do avid still make the installation guide?

Any help is appreciated,

Perhaps this will help.

Ah thanks, but unfortunately not.

The installation guide used to list conflicts with macOS and Pro Tools, but it doesn’t look like they release it alongside updates anymore.

Thanks for the suggestion, unfortunately I couldn’t find what I was looking for.

In the 2018.1 Installation Guide it has the below, I think this is the most recent version of it? I’ve been looking for an updated guide, but all I can find are the docs within the link you posted.

Thanks for your help,

Thanks for posting that, Trent. I think that stuff is still mostly the same, but good to see it. I pasted it into a document to keep!!!
