James Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 Directly from the Digidesign website, "We now expect to release Vista-compatible versions of Pro Tools LE® and Pro Tools M-Powered™ in winter 2007/2008." Now stop whining. But! seriously.. this should have come with it before they released it. M-Audio are crazy with most people using vista these days. The OS is still great with the skin turned off, very useful DISCUSS!

pianoman Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 Digidesign reports that Pro Tools for Vista is “coming soon.” How soon? Um … soon. I’ve heard through the grapevine that a Pro Tools release is expected within the next few months. In the meantime, Pro Tools users should avoid Vista for the time being; it won’t work. I know we have some huge fans and haters of both Digidesign and Microsoft, so I’ll let you read this sentence however you like: “Stay tuned — all the power of Pro Tools paired with the benefits of Windows Vista is coming soon.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnF30 Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 Pro tools not being “Vista ready” was an opportunity for me to revisit Sonar 6.2. It does everything that Pro Tools does and MORE, much more! It’s loaded with plugins that come with it. Sayonara Pro Tools haha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joshy Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 Yes, you will have to buy Pro Tools Vista to take advantage of the increased performance of 64 bit processing, unless you purchased it recently, in which case digidesign will give you the software for free. Digidesign knew that they were doing when they didn’t have a vista ready version of Pro Tools, in fact, they waited until Sonar and Ableton had their 64 bit versions in circulation and released the digi003 interface (an excuse to not have a vista pro tools ready, perhaps?) before even mentioning Pro Tools Vista. They DELAYED Pro Tools Vista as LONG AS THEY POSSIBLY COULD. They did this because the biggest difference between Pro Tools HD and Pro Tools LE are the algorithms. With the advent of 64 bit platforms there is no reason for the actual audio processing to be any different of that of HD any longer. Digidesign sells these HD systems for a small fortune. They sell as many of them as they can. It looks like LE could very well replace HD. Digidesign does not witsh this to occur. If the algorithms are the same, the only thing the HD system has on the LE system is Latency, and Latency, can be compensated for. My point is, there won’t really be much of a difference between HD and LE after Pro Tools Vista hits the market…well, there shouldn’t be at any rate…I wouldn’t put it past the guys in marketing at Digidesign to find some other way of crippling the vista LE version so you still have to buy HD to get the results you need. yup...

Lloyd Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 Vista is Fine, Im running it now on my main pc, and it seems to run better than XP. It's All a matter of your choice, if you dislike it, you can, it's up to you, but taking the micky out of it is point less, personally i dont care if you dislike or like Vista. And on the point of Pro Tools for Vista, they can release their Bista compatible version of it when ever they like, maybe they were waiting for Servie Pack 1? Or possibly they realised that there wasnt a need for a Vista combatible version untill now. Or Even Better, Stick with Linux - Lloyd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
