Default Upgrading to vers. 9.x

I'm still using 8.1cs2. Only because I fear all the upgrading process, with plugs etc that might not work.

- I would like to ask users what they see as the greatest benefits upgrading to vers.9?
- What vers of OSX, is working best right now with PT 9.x?
- is it in your experience important to use combo-updates from Apple instead of using software upgrade?


My system:
MacPro quadcore, 20GB ram.
OSX 10.6.4
PT soft 8.1CS2
PT HD2 accel
UAD quad

Thank you!

IMHO it's not worth it to endure the hassles I've read about from upgrading to 9.03. I can't afford the halt in workflow. Maybe once the bugs are worked out I'll re-consider.

Any further information on this post?

I'm also considering the upgrade from PT8.xx HD to PT9.xx HD and would like
to know if OSX 10.6.8v1.1 is the suggested platform...

Is it suggested to do the combo updater install ?

In order to get to the most recent version of PT9.xxxxx
I need to find PT9HD to download and install; can I use the
package version from the box and update from there? Or
update to PT9.xxx?

Will all PT8 plugs work in PT9HD?

PT8 HD2
Mac 8-core
18GB
OSX 10.6.6

Not sure what hassles you've read about, lownotes... Anyway, aside from the UAD card and 10.6.8, my system is pretty similar to the OP's, and upgrading to 9 was no sweat. Everything worked fine right away, and still works fine nine months later. Just one man's experience.

Unless you plan to use Pro Tools software on the road without HD hardware there is NO reason to upgrade. No new features at all actually.

Wait for Pro Tools 10. Should be here in a few days.

Good to know.
What's expected in PT10 & when are they (potentially) releasing it?
