Played with Pro tools 8 for a few hours today

[thedreampolice]

Very cool. The new drum synth Boom is loads of fun and there is a new synth called Vacuum that rocks! Any thing you guys would like to know about?

 

[The Arkitekt]

One thing, if I was to buy Pro Tools 7.4 (I think thats the newest version right now correct me if i'm wrong), does Digi let you upgrade to 8 for free when it drops?

 

[thedreampolice]

Yes....

 

[The Arkitekt]

Ok....


lol

 

[Step Soprano]

how much did they upgrade the midi capabilities/sequencing

 

[thedreampolice]

the new midi editor is amazing, worlds ahead.

 

[J Rilla]

Those instruments you mentioned earlier do they come stock with PT8?

 

[thedreampolice]

Yes PT8 comes with tons of synths and plugins.

 

[Relic]

How much if we call you for it?

 

[thedreampolice]

I think the upgrade is $150, I may be able to do a little better for illmuzik but I think SW makes like a few bucks on this one as is. Should be out in a few weeks.

 

[adthekidd]

I have pro-tools 7.3 will i be able 2 upgrade for free??

 

[StressWon]

yo DP,,,,say one was to have an unofficial of PT 7.4 and wanted to pay for the upgrade,,,is this possible. (I pretty much sure it isnt but,,,ya never know)

 

[thedreampolice]

Do you have any version of PT that is legal? If so I think I can make it work.

[adthekidd]

please tell me there is offline exporting...i cannot STAND having to hear the whole thing again while it exports.

 

[7thangel]

for those that haven't, won't or can't upgrade to 8, the di-fi suite version 8 is now free and doesn't require ilok authorization (it comes free in 8) you can use v8 of the plugs if you have 7.3.1 and up. http://www.digidesign.com/index.cfm?navid=115&langid=100&itemid=1009

"please tell me there is offline exporting"

Dude I wish I could say that, I am afraid they have not added offline bounce. It drives me crazy.
