THFS Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 Hey there everyone, So... I stupidly decided to buy Pro Tools 8 LE without realizing that I had to get Digidesign hardware. So! My question is this - is there a way to run Pro Tools 8 without a piece of hardware? Or did I just spend some $$$ for nothing... :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or did I just spend some $$$ for nothing... :( First of all, not sure how you managed to buy Pro Tools 8 LE without any hardware - didn't think it was available to be sold that way? Secondly, yes you need either Digidesign or M-Audio ProTools M-Powered hardware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jinglemaster Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 I highly doubt you will get a refund on any software that is downloaded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NOW I understand - for $149.95 you bought the UPGRADE which is no use to you anyway as you need an authorised copy of the original software to use it.

Which is true. Pro Tools is Audio Editing software James Yes, you will need to buy the extra bit of hardware. I'm hoping to get myself Pro Tools 8 over the Summer. It looks more user friendly on Mac, unlike Pro Tools 7 which looks industrial! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brutish Sailor Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 I stopped using Pro tools A LONG time ago. I was making my own Jingles/sweepers using Fruity loops. But it just sounds AWKWARD when you are on the air following your own voice in jingles. If you haven't looked into it, FL is from Germany, and I don't care what ANYONE says, they are the head of the game in synth/music software interface. My world got crushed when my buddy left, he owned the producer addition, and the goodness in me wouldn't allow me to continue to use a demo copy (very big advocate against piracy, economy's too tight right now for people not to get paid for their time in coding). One day when I am making a little extra cash, I will have my treasured program back. But yeah, easy to operate, and very easy to come up with decent jingles quickly.

James Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 try the demo of fruity loops, you might be surprised.

producerpinnell Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 I'll be purchasing Pro Tools 8 LE very soon indeed, so I'll post a few screenshots, and photographs up for everyone. If you're interested I'm actually really excited, it will be my best purchase of the year, well, that, and a house for September! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
