Where is my Sketch? Windows 10 PT Artist

[BWV846]

I see Sketch is available with all levels of PT, but where? Its not installed in the PT download, and I only find apple downloads and ipad downloads online. Just wondering where/what/if/how to get Sketch installed please?

Regards

Pro Tools Sketch is available for iPad on App Store.

Hi BWV846,

What Pro Tools version are you using? It should be available in the dashboard by the time you open Pro Tools.

HI, thanks

2023.3.0.

I didn't want the ipad version, just to install within my PT artist. I couldn't find it on my Downloads list. It doesn't come up when selecting 'Open' new or anywhere else in Dashboard.

Also doing a PT search within PT yields nothing.

Hi BWV846,

You need to be on PT 2023.9.

Avid Link shows an Update, but when downloading it gives no indication of file size. I dont know how much I am installing or at what rate, just a non moving circle.

My Avid Account Shows a link to 2023.12.1 but it is the complete 3.79GB.

Lastly, I installed PT Artist on Jan 11, 2024, and this update was released before then in December 2023. Indeed 23.3 came out in last March. Is there any reason why I didn't get the latest installation at that time?

What version of Avid Link are you using? If you're still having trouble downloading via Avid Link, try to download it via View My Products page in your MyAvid account https://my.avid.com/products#MyProducts.

Thanks, I've updated Avid Link.
How big is the update, and specifically is it adding updated data, or is it doing a complete 4GB install of the system? It would be great if Avid link would display this information.

You're welcome! The file size of 2023.12.1 is around 3.79Gb. I'll pass that suggestion to our Avid Link Team. Thanks!

I am grateful to the person asking the question because until now, I wasn't aware at all that I can use Sketch with a laptop and Pro Tools program. I also got it up and running, and it's quite embarrassing that I hadn't found it until now. For example, you can open the demo like this:
File -> New... -> Sketch -> GETTING STARTED -> Open Demo Sketch.
