Is PT8 backwords compatible?
Does anyone know yet if PT8 is backwards compatible?
So, if I saved a project with PT8, could I still open in with PT7?

Re: Is PT8 backwords compatible?
With pretty much all software, you can't expect an older version to read the format of a newer version. However like nearly all software, there is a SAVE AS OLDER VERSION. So yes, it is backwards compatible. Obviously when you save to older versions, there will be things missing that the older version didn't support.

7.4.2 opened the PT8 file but gave me an error message to the effect of "this file was created with a newer version of Protools and new features will not be available". Specifically what I lost was when I had used the comping feature in PT8 and had a final comped track. When I loaded the file in 7.4.2, the comped track was gone and only the first take was available. I haven't tried the "save as older version". Maybe that would retain things like the comped tracks.... As Brad said, it's not common for an older version to be able to load a newer version's files. The fact that PT7.4.2 even recognized the file as a "newer" version was surprising to me.
