PT 8 HD/PT9 Compatibility, 10.6.5 compatibility, OMF Logic9/PT9, iLok upgrade

[benosullivan]

Hi there,

I have just downloaded the crossgrade of PT9 and I have 4 questions before I install. I have found bits and bobs on some of the qs, but nothing definitive. And this looks like the place to post if you want something definitive!

PT 8 HD/PT9 Compatibility

I am working with a studio who use PT 8 HD - in respect of this; is there any reason why I should not upgrade to PT9 at home on my mac book pro - ie will the projects be cross-compatible? Clearly I PT9 will not have all of their plugins etc... but will work I do at home be readable in the studio?

10.6.5 compatibility,

Any more news on this? I would rather not have to reinstall Snow Leopard, if 10.6.5 works 'well enough, with a few glitches'. Is it a suck-it-and-see, or a fatal missmatch?

OMF/AAF Logic9/PT9

Can Logic Pro 9 exported projects (OMF/AAF) be opened in PT9 without any further purchase?

iLok upgrade

Can i get one of those new flashy looking ones? The old one sticks out a mile and a half and looks like a pigeon.

Thanks for your time.

Hi,

1. PT9 is backwards compatible with PT 8 HD

2. 10.6.5 is not qualified and some people have reported problems, mostly with Waves plugs

3. Yes ALL version of 9 have Digitranslator included and import export OMF, AAF and XML

4. new iloks are not available to buy yet!! (but apparently are included in the full boxed purchase of PT9)

Thanks Chris.

That's all clear... I now have another question, which I will post on a new thread.
