Logic Pro 8 and PT 7.4 not compatible ...

Question

PT 7.4 is out.
Having Logic 8 on a MAC PRO as a front end for PTHD was supposed to happen with PT 7.4 release.
I downloaded it ($79) trying last night to set Logic 8 in the preference. First I set up the Core audio to my 96i I/o, then selected "DAE". then I Had an error -1133 return by the DAE driver.
I never used Logic with PTHD. Because I have an Intel Mac. SO I guess it is either I dont know what i am doing (Which it wont be the first time) or PT 7.4 is not yet compatible with Logic Pro 8 on intel Mac.
which is what probably the case. I read everything I could on the Digi site, there is nothing at all about Logic Pro 8. One deception down, I dont have to worry about this.

Hi,
I am the original one who posted this but, After hours of nothing but frustration
I have the DAE/DTDM working within Logic 8 And PTHD 7.4. (I have a 96i I/O)
If you are intrested in what I did to make it wok this is it:
In Preference>Audio
1. Disable Core Audio
2. Enable DAE Click on TDM Setup Indicator, I choose 24 Bit, and 48 Tracks (3DSPs). You can click on "Digidesign Hardware Set up" if you want to change something But I did'nt
3. Enable Direct TDM and Universal Track Mode.
Limitation and advantages of running Logic 8 as a front end to PTHD: There are two types of tracks - DAE tracks which uses TDM plugins and Direct TDM tracks with are Audio OR Software Instruments they run All Logic 8 Plugins including Sof Instr. You Can also Use a Node on them (I Works). The problem is you Only have * TDM Device channels. Routed as ESB Mono 1 thru 8 or stereo ESB 1-2 thru 7-8. You have to route the Output of the TDM Device track (ESB 1...8) to an Aux track Input 9ESB 1...8), the Logic effectS are in the TDM Device tracks and Prottols TDM plug ins are in the corresponding Aux tracks
Unortunately All Channel Stereo channel are Double Mono which takes more real estate. When Playing a double Mono the even number could be changed to stereo and it work well as such but you cannot get rid of the other Mono track it has to be next to the stereo track.
When creating tracks in DAE you cannot choose stereo, but one selected you can change it in the arrange to stereo.
I hope this help.
Good luck
