Managing my processor workload/server upgrades... PRO TOOLS RELATED

Hello all,
I'm a Pro Tools user and I bassically wanted to know if there is any hardware (like some sort of card) that I can buy to manage my processor's workload. I would buy a Pro Tools TDM system, but they cost so much.
I just want my Pro Tools to run smoothly (working with video) and right now, with my single processor - i can't. ANY SUGGESTIONS?

No card available with ProTools.
Unless you buy a ProTools mix or HD system (btw mix systema are way down in price and still work fine...) you have to rely on your processor strenght. It also depends on which software version of ProTools you are running. If you still have 6.x, no matter if you have 2 or 4 processor you can only use one at a maximum percentage of 85%, if you have ProTools 7.x you can take advantage of a multiprocessor machine and squeeze processor usage at 99%. Anyway video managing of ProTools LE is not very powerful, you will surely find limitations...

Final Cut, Quicktime, and Pro Tools conflicts

Hi there,
I'm working on a "situation" I recently encountered, and wonder if anybody else has had this problem.
I'm trying to upgrade Pro Tools LE to version 6.9.2 with the install discs that were sent to me from Digidesign, and it's wreaking havoc with Final Cut Pro and Quicktime.
Initially when I installed the upgrade, I was running OSX 10.4.2, FCP 5.0.3 and QT 7.0.2. The Pro Tools upgrade worked fine, as did FCP when I launched it, but Quicktime wouldn't launch- spinning beachball forevermore.
So after doing all the basics- trashing pref's and render files, repairing permissions, etc.- and finding QT still wouldn't work, I tried upgrading to QT 7.0.3.
Once I did that, QT still wouldn't work, and Final Cut Pro would no longer launch. It just hung on the application startup screen, at no particular point each time.
I then upgraded to FCP 5.0.4, and as well OS 10.4.3. No luck. I installed the Pro Application Support updates 2005-02 1.0, and 3.1, and still no luck.
Since there is not yet a downgrade from QT 7.0.3 to 7.0.2, I ran the 7.0.2 to 7.0.1 installer, and downgraded to QT 7.0.1. QT still wouldn't launch, and FCP still hung on launch but this time it hung at the point where it was loading audio filters.
I tried removing the audio filters from their folders to see if it would launch then, but that didn't work. At this point, the only thing I could think to do was to uninstall Pro Tools altogether (safe uninstall, not clean uninstall) and this is what finally brought Quicktime and Final Cut back to life. Great, because I use FCP and QT everday, but I no longer have the use of Pro Tools.
Throughout this process I made sure to diligenty repair permissions, trash prefs, and restart whenever I made a change.
So I'm not sure at this point how to get Pro Tools LE 6.9.2, Final Cut Pro 5.0.4, and Quicktime (any version above 7.0) to work harmoniously, and I'm unable to spare any more troubleshooting time for a week or so because there are of course, projects due.
Has anybody else encountered these oddities?
Thanks a lot,
Joni

Hi, Joni C
I'm Bump,
I'm having the same trouble, I have FCP I'm running it on a G5 power Mac dual 2.5 ghz with 2.5 gb of memory, my os is 10.4.4. I also have Quicktime pro 7.0.3 and I have Pro Tools LE 7.0, every time I try to use FCP it starts and about five sec. later it shuts back down. I also have a Universal Audio UAD pci card that runs audio plugins and I also have fxpansion program it converts my vst & Au plugins to rtas for pro tools le. IBefore I installed FCP I wiped my hard drive and re installed a fresh version of tiger 10.4 and then I installed FCP studio, then Pro Tools, then all plugin and kept checking to make sure every thing was working correctly and then the U audio stuff with the Vst to rtas wrapper and it all was working fine. I even did the full final cut tutorial still worked fine. Yesterday out of no where final cut just stop working and still all the other programs work fine like dvd studios, soundtrack, motion, pro tools. If you can shead any light on this I would be very greatful

Issues with compatibility, Lion, Leopard, Pro Tools reinstall

Geetings,
I upgraded to Lion but now my Pro-Tools 8.03 LE m-powered, isnt compatible. I have a Macbook 2009 4 gig ram, duo intel which is now Lion. and Mbox 2 mini
So I partitioned an external drive with Snow Leopard, but now my Pro-Tools DVD installer isnt reading, nothing happens, so I cant do a clean install.
I cannot move the pro-tools files over to the new drive either. Does anyone know how I can get my Protools working on the external drive/Snow Leopard?
I cant afford to upgrade Pro-Tools. Digidesign/Avid is angering alot of people lately with all of this confusion. Its my fault for not looking into it before I upgraded.
Thanks much

I understand that to be a hardware/software combination that is probably written in PowerPC so it needs Rosetta to work on an Intel Mac.
Installing Snow Leopard (with the OPTIONAL installation of Rosetta TURNED ON - redo this if you did not optionally install Rosetta) should work to allow you the "dual-boot" of running Snow Leopard when you need access to ProTools 8 LE and Mbox 2 mini.
Be sure to attempt to install this software into your external drive while Snow Leopard is the operating version of OS X.

PLEASE READ!!!! Pro Tools user - processor speed upgrades?

Hello all,
I know this is a Logic forum but I thought music people would be able to help me.
I'm a Pro Tools user and I bassically wanted to know if there is any hardware (like some sort of card) that I can buy to manage my processor's workload. I would buy a Pro Tools TDM system, but they cost so much.
I just want my Pro Tools to run smoothly (working with video) and right now, with my single processor - i can't. ANY SUGGESTIONS?
- Josh

There are some suggestions.
it depends on which plugs you need and want to use. For example you can buy TC POWERCORE. Or maybe from Waves a APA. You can choose a UAD Card or, a little bit cheaper a Liquid Mix from Focusrite. All this hardware is used to for managing the plugs, so that your processor is free for other works.
Hope this helps

PLEASE READ!!! Pro Tools user - need tips on processor upgrades for movies

Hello all,
I know this is a FCP forum but thought that you may be able to help.

Truth is, you really need multiple CPU's nowadays, especially for your ProTools filters to stay realtime. And your G4 is getting a little long in the tooth. It's going to be hard to keep it being a viable, up to date machine, as you stuff more and more tasks onto it and expect it to keep up in realtime. There are CPU accelerators for your CPU available (check www.macsales.com, xlr8yourmac.com or others), but you cannot make the jump from one to two procs on your system, and it's a game of declining returns...
If money's an issue, why not sell your G4 and buy a used Dual Proc G5? You may find yourself short only about $1k in the transaction, possibly even less if you get lucky. You will definitely see a major performance difference, and you won't have to reinvest in plugins, cards, etc for the new Intel architecture.

Jeremiah,
We ran into this as well. One of two options:
1.) Just run a repair on the SQL Server installation
2.) Repair the WMI settings on the SQL Server as descibed here:

HELP!! Since upgrading to Mac OS x 10.3.2 my Pro Tools sessions won't open!

Can anyone please help me. I was running Mac OS 9 and Pro Tools 5.1 on my Mac G4. I needed to upgrade to add a new piece of equipment. So I was told to update to Mac OSx 10.3.2 and Pro Tools 6.0. Since doing so, when I try to open my Pro Tools, it opens, but when I try to open a new session, I keep getting a small screen that says I must restart my computer. AFter restarting and repeating the above, I get the same message over and over. I tried updating to Mac OSx 10.3.8 and the problem is still occuring. Can anyone out there give me some advice on what to do next??? Thank you!!!

Hi Susan,
I dont know what the specific issue is but will try to be helpful anyway.
If this were my problem the first thing I would assess (preferably from Digidesign) is - is PT 6.x known to be compatible with Mac OSX 10.3.x ?
Once this hurdle has been cleared, and assuming that the compatibility is there,
then I would want to know if your install/upgrade to 10.3.8 is 'clear'. Meaning, you've run Disk Utility *from the Panther Retail install disk* and DU is showing no errors, either with Permissions or with "Repair Disk". The logic being an app cant be expected to work right on top of an OS that isnt even healthy.
Next, you say PT launches. You seem to imply that either:
a. File/Open/sessionX
or
b. 2x clicking a session
causes some kind of window to appear. Is that a PT related window or OSX type window ?
Does the window occur with either a. or b. above or with only one method or what ?
Can you do a "File / New ..." and not see the window appear ?
Best,
Chris

Need to upgrade - an iMac that works with PP CC 2014 *and* Pro Tools 11.2?

i'm looking back and forth between the two programs' system requirements and i'm stalled out.
Pro Tools 11.1.2 - 11.2 has these two options for iMac:
2013 27" iMac (*)
Model Identifier: 14,2
Qualified Models:
Core i7 3.5 GHz
2013 21.5" iMac (*)
Model Identifier: 14,1
Qualified Models:
Core i5 2.7 GHz
so i'm thinking of this:
2013 21.5" iMac,
16GB RAM
Quad core i5 2.9GHz Turbo Boost up to 3.6GHz
NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M with 1GB video memory
1TB ATA (with external 7200RPM FW 800 drives for media)
fusion drives aren't supported by Pro Tools so i'm sticking with the ATA.
will this work with PP CC 2014? i need the upgrade because of a project i'm doing in PP but my normal 9-5 job is in PT so i'll need both to run immediately. thanks!

The better graphics option ie 780M for that Imac with the I7. I would also suggest a TB drive instead of Firewire which is higher latency and lower bandwidth for drives.

Pro Tool Studio LE 7 upgrade... anyone knows where I can buy the upgrade version for this? and how much does it cost?

I have a Mac Pro 2006 running on leopard and I need to upgrade my Pro Tool Studio LE 7 to 8 so it can work on Leopard.. anyone knows where I can buy the upgrade version for this? and how much does it cost?

Upgrade to Pro Tools Studio LE 8: - http://shop.avid.com/store/product.do?product=288865113879120
But it would be worth searching through the Updates to see if there is an update for Leopard, which it looks like there is: - http://avid.custkb.com/avid/app/selfservice/search.jsp?DocId=355241

I am running Yosemite and have just bought Pro Tools Express with the intent to Upgrade to Pro Tools 11. Pro Tools Express is not compatible with Yosemite and will not install. How can I get this done?

I am running Yosemite and have just bought Pro Tools Express with the intent to Upgrade to Pro Tools 11. Pro Tools Express is not compatible with Yosemite and will not install. How can I get this done?

I have had this problem for close to a year. I have an Extreme base station, two Airport Express's and multiple G4 Mac's with up to date software. I have spent a huge amount of time trouble shooting, resetting, reapplying software and finally calling Applecare without any help. It would be great to get this problem solved.

I bought Logic Studio from a pawn shop with Pro Tools and an iLok. It didn't include the serial numbers, which I thought were on the iLok. Is their any way to us this as an upgrade from like eBay?

Can I buy a used version of Pro Tools with the serial numbers from eBay, then istall Pro Tools and Logic I bought from a pawn shop using them as an upgrade?

If it sounds fishy, it probably is. Serial numbers from eBay typically don't work, because they are stolen, reused, etc. Logic Pro has nothing to do with iLok. And Apples doesn't offer cross-grades or upgrades anymore. If you want their software you go to the Mac App Store application and buy it. That's the only way.

Logic with Pro Tools HD upgrade

Hi -
We're using Logic 7.1.1 with a Pro Tools HD system. I'm not at the system right now, but it must be Pro Tools 6.9.x because the machine is running 10.4.5.
When we load large templates with lots of TDM tracks and inputs, Logic quits without any kind of message about 1/3 of the time. The whole machine crashes about every 10th relaunch of Logic. The problem is definitely related to large TDM setups.
My question is: can I expect more stable performance if I upgrade to Logic 7.2 and Pro Tools HD 7 ?
Thanks for any input.

oh yes, on a new Mac Pro...surely, but what are your experiences with these combination?
I´m using 48 Channels I/O with many outboard equipment on a HD 3 Pro Tools DAE ,,, Logic 7 is running and the DAE maschine is working...:))) cool what?
now we must talk about "all native" to use Pro Tools Hardware and Logic 9 because the 2 "Legends" are not able to create a stabile contact since 2004 in DAE mode...
now I`m interested what user, who worked with logic in DAE Mode ....- whats the way?
regards
Chris

HT4718 after upgrading to Mavericks, i can't use Pro Tools ***

after upgrading to Mavericks, i can't use my pro tools, and none of my iTunes files are there. what the ****? I want to revert back to snow leopard.
PLEASE ADVISE!!!! I'm in a panic!!
I was very happy with Snow Leopard, and then I tried to get an app to design my Christmas cards. The computer told me, i had to upgrade to Mavericks to use it.
Now everything is a complete disaster!

I was not prompted to make a clone, so i dont have one. I downloaded an upgrade of pro tools that is alleged to work with mavericks, but it does not.
I can't find any of my music files, iTunes downloads, documents, etc... But, all the software i purchased to work within pro tools is there. Im so confused.
Im PC, i have never downloaded an upgrade that made all my files disappear. This is totally unacceptable.

What upgrades for video and processor on a mac pro 1.1?

Quick question.....
Was looking on the forum and i have not yet clear what could be done to upgrade the graphic card and the processor of my mac pro 1.1; so hope that someone has good solutions
1) i have a x1900xt, works decently for software and games on windows, but would like to get something that support DX10 on windows, and that works good also for pro apps...is the geforce 8800 or ati 3870 the only options? and are teh apple store selling them for $279 even today? i would love to go to a best buy or frys and get one and save money and time, instead of ordering it online at that price....any suggestions?
2) i have 2 dual core 2.66 (no idea what is the codename of the xeon processor); do i have any option to upgrade to a 4 core or to something faster?
Thanks a lot! when i got my macpro i was not thinking that i would need upgrades like for my pc, but i realized that it still needs some work on it, even after spending 2500 dollars ia lil bit more than a year ago

I tried to look for clovertown processors, and they are still around 250 each plus there are different models....could you give some models of processors that will work for sure on my 1st gen mac?
Regarding the video card:
I tried to use the diamond 1Gb, and on the 8X slot it works basically at half the speed of the x1900 (3dmark 06 gave me 4200 for the x1900 and 2250 for the 4650); so the gain is close to 0
Under macOs does not work at all; and when i tried to swap the 2 cards to boot the pc and use the 16x rail on the 4650, basically Vista decided to not recognize either card, leaving me with 1 monitor off and one on, without being able to recognize the video card.
I wonder why the PCI utility on mac does not allow to set which slot will get the 16X....the only place where the x1900 fits is slot 4, so even if the card would work fine , i would have to swap cards and connectors everytime that i wanna play in bootcamp, and this is not the best choice
Last attempt: tried with a 4870 and looks like the flashing does not always work (read trough 26 pages of a post on another site); so since i don't want to pay 350 for the apple version, i've got a 3rd party 3870 for less than 200 dollars (shame that the 4870 for pc cost the same price), that form the links that you guys gave me, seems the best choice for pro apps and games, compared to the 8800 (and the plus that under bootcamp i can get a second card and use crossfire is a huge plus, especially when the price of this card will go further down!).
Thanks everyone for giving your suggestions, and hope that this post will help other people that, like me, were trying to update their machine to a better video card

Will I be able to upgrade to Pro Tools 11 if I install Pro Tools 9 on Mavericks

I currently own a copy of Pro Tools 9 running on a 2010 MBP. I want to transition to Pro Tools 11 and was thinking of purchasing the upgrade rather than getting a new copy. However, i found out that PT9 doesn't run on Mavericks.. This being the case, would it still be possible to upgrade to PT11 if I simply install PT9 onto OSX Mavericks and run the update for PT11?

is as simple as that of an iphone or ipad.
No one here can answer that because it's not out yet. Speculation is against Apple Discussions Terms of Use which you agreed to when you signed on this site.
