Dolby Surround Tools PT8

[rmambo]

every time i insert the decoder. it crashes my system, and now i can't even open old sessions (that worked a week ago) with this plugin. does anybody else have problems with dolby surround tools and protools 8 cs3? i have even tried to open it on a 7.42 system i have in another drive with the same results.

I believe the plug in was updated to run in PT8. Just make sure you have the latest download. I rent the plug in the few times I need it, and I remember that I had to throw out the old and download the new for a project I did last month; the last time I used it was over a year ago.

i did download the latest one (v8.0). it used to work with cs2, it just stopped working when i installed cs3, and now it will not work even if i go back to older versions.

Just a heads-up...it looks like our friends at Neyrinck are coming out with a sweet little DPL/DPLII RTAS plug to make this ol' dinosaur obselete! July 21 is the date on their website, for $349.

i think that is great. but it would also be great if digi would update their version for all the customers that already spent their $700.00! didn't the guy from neyrinc also develop surround code?

Is it me? I not see a decoder included with Neyrinck's PL/PLII encoder??

Not just you...
I was thinking the same thing

I'm guessing it's a money saving thing? I can lay my hands on a hardware PL decoder pretty easy...

Well it does say "Preliminary Information"
I'd be surprised if there was no realtime decoder.
The lack of one would pretty much be a deal breaker for me.

Does this imply decoding? i.e. LCRS to LtRt to LCRS, etc.

I have posted some info in another thread so we don't hijack this thread any more than it has been.
