I hooked up my old Digi 002 rack and while it plays audio OK, it locks up when trying to save and uses 100% cpu.
The firewall is off.
I can't get the mixer view to appear, only the track view, so something is hosed.
I'm going to try to uninstall and reinstall this evening and see if anything changes.
I really want to give it a fair try.
 
@Elfin, How's it working for you?
 
Edit: I just found out that Pro Tools is not Windows 10 compatible (yet):

not W10 compatabile? ok. will wait.

Once it is I will install it and get 'familiar' with it.. for educational experience.

Good thread. I still get those reminders saying "you haven't downloaded your free version" ... I reckon I  won't ... DAW is offline, don't want anything in the cloud, either ... 16 tracks max is not representative how real mixing would feel and sound like ...
 
You guys saved me a few hours fiddling with something that I don't need. Thanks!

If you did download this you now get Xpand II for FREE...

Yeah. I had to purchase it from the store for $0.00. it's in "My Products" now and says no serial number or activation required, free download. It is a 1.23GB download.
 
This is their sneaky way of getting you "conditioned" into using the store.
Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated.
 
The link for the store is on the tool bar!!! LOL.
 
I also thought this was very clever of them: If you open a project that contains a plug-in that you don't own, a pop-up appears that alerts you that you don't have the plug-in, then it asks whether you want to purchase or rent the plug-in!
 

Yup way things are going. I would not be surprised if Sonar start menu goes this way in the next few years. Actually would have nothing against it as long as it isn't in your face.

Ouch... I hated it! Got rid of it as soon as I could. But then again, I never had so much love for pro tools. I was hoping I could treat simple projects that I get for work with it. But now, too many issues.
