Default What midi RTAS are available for Pro Tools 8

Hello!

I have pro tools 8 se on a desktop computer with 4 gigs of RAM. What midi RTAS are available for my software that is both good quality and affordable? I'm looking to upgrade but I want something compatible that won't break the bank.

Thanks!

Default Quick question

Pro Tools 8 SE (as opposed to LE) is old crippleware, it does not support third party VIs, just what it came with.

Do you really have SE or LE?

Darryl beat me to it. PT8SE will not do it for you with current VIs.

Darn it, really? What's the cheapest way to update? I got pro tools about 7 years ago and it's worked very well for what I had done, but I want to branch out my productions.

According to his public profile he's got: "Windows XP, MBox 3 Pro, Pro Tools 8 LE".

Long way back. Since he has LE, he can use third party VIs, but not anything new AFAIK.

Right if he has "LE", almost any RTAS VI will function.

Default Quick question

So what version of Pro Tools do you actually have? LE or SE?

What VIs are you looking for? Drums? Orchestral strings? Just asking for "VIs" is kinda weird. Like asking for a surgeon recommendation and we don't know if you have a toothache or need heart surgery.

Perhaps look for someone selling the old original "Pro Tools instrument expansion pack" version 1.
