[EvilElfBoy]

I didn't know if you guys saw that there is a Pre Release Version of 8.0.3 for Snow Leopard up.

Now that didn't take very long.

It is impossible to be 100% up-to-date!
Lol

I hear that. It's good to know that it's right around the corner.

Applause for Digi!

Excellent. Just in time for my upgrade to be as current as possible.

And the bad news are:

"The following items are no longer supported with Pro Tools 8.0.3pr:

PowerPC-based Macs
Mbox (original version)
Expansion|HD Chassis
The following legacy audio interfaces:
888|24 I/O
882|20 I/O
1622 I/O
24-bit ADAT Bridge I/O"

Snow Leopard does not work on a PPC mac anyway.
Digi is at Apple's mercy ....

Well, the core audio driver finally works, although its still sub-par at best. I desperately hope it improves in the future.

I'm sorry you're having trouble with it; could you be more specific about what problems you're having?

Can't open older sessions (PT 8 CS3 session files). Getting DAE error 1 and also about the session cannot be opened because file not found on that volume (but it's there... on external drive).
Also the Disk Allocation window is empty.
Went back to PT 8 CS3 and all's well again.

Mac Pro 8-Core Intel, 8G ram
Snow Leopard 10.6.1

The need for a separate application to be launched upon using (CoreAudio Manager)
The limitations when using different software
The inability to use both PT HD and Coreaudio apps at the same time (digi has commented on this saying its possible with the TDM architecture to eliminate this problem, but its essentially too much work)
The lack of metering / control / etc etc what you would find with almost every other pro audio device out there.

I'm just nitpickin I guess.
