Meanwhile, at the high end, there was the transition from Pro Tools Mix to Pro Tools HD, and the introduction of the hugely powerful Icon control surfaces.
#PRO TOOLS 9 UPDATE MAC OS#
Then came the Digi 001, the Mbox and a succession of other affordable native versions, successful ports of the Pro Tools software to Windows and Mac OS X, and the acquisition of M‑Audio. First came Pro Tools Free, a free 'taster' version of the software that would work with a Mac's built‑in hardware. You could point to several milestones along that path. Over the last decade or so, Digidesign and now Avid have done a remarkable job of reversing that situation, to the point where other DAWs such as Nuendo and Logic now incorporate numerous features that originated in Pro Tools. TDM systems represented an affordable and very popular way to get multitrack audio in and out of a computer, and to run DSP‑assisted plug‑ins, but most studios ran Logic or other third‑party software as a 'front end', and the Pro Tools installers gathered dust in a drawer somewhere. Then, the very idea that anyone might actually buy a Pro Tools system for the software would have seemed laughable to many.
Things have come a long way since I joined Sound On Sound back in 1998. At a stroke, Pro Tools 9 removes nearly all of these - and with the addition of the new Complete Production Toolkit 2, a native system can acquire all the features of an HD rig apart from those that are hardware‑dependent, making such gems as VCA groups and advanced automation available to native users for the first time. Users of the more affordable native Pro Tools packages, LE and M‑Powered, had long griped about the artificial limitations that kept those packages feature‑poor in comparison with Pro Tools HD.
#PRO TOOLS 9 UPDATE DRIVER#
No longer would their market‑leading Pro Tools DAW be tied to Avid's own hardware from now on it would work with any interface that supported the ASIO or Core Audio driver protocols, from the Apogees and Prisms of this world to the built‑in inputs and outputs of a cheap laptop.Īnd that wasn't all. This year's AES show in San Francisco saw the announcement most of us thought we'd never hear: Avid, for so long the most insular manufacturer in the business, were embracing openness. Haven't done much serious testing yet, but thought I'd chime in since I'd been sitting out upgrades during the whole 10/11 parallel versions thing and finally was prompted to jump with the December 31st deadline and 10/11/12 bundled license upgrade.For the first time ever, Avid have made the full Pro Tools feature set available on native systems - and you don't even need one of their interfaces to run it!
#PRO TOOLS 9 UPDATE INSTALL#
I thought I was going to have to install 10 on that one and move the iLok back and forth, but now I can just leave it on 9 and run 10, 11 or 12 on the new machine. I plugged the old iLok1 into my old Snow Leopard MacBook and was pleasantly surprised to find my old PT9 license was still intact and my old system worked like it always did. I installed them on the iLok2 and proceeded to install PT12 on a new MBP.

On purchase, it asked if I wanted to upgrade 7.3 or 9 so I chose the former and it deposited licenses for 10, 11 and 12 in place of the 7.3 asset. Had to order an iLok2 first, then bought the "upgrade and support" plan from the Avid store. I purchased 7.3 originally and then updated to 9 when it came out for the freedom of interface choice.
