Yeah that's the kinds of thing that could send me to bed for a week weeping uncontrollably. The new MIDI features in Tools 8 are just so promising though, what a predicament....

Oh, and happy new years eve everyone, I wish you all a peaceful and happy 2009!! With lots of nookie!

Personally, I'm going to wait a little while to upgrade to PT8, as I don't think the dust has fully settled yet.

I've learned the hard way by upgrading as soon as a major version is released (not just in Protools either) and then chaos ensued, so I had to roll back to my prior version.

Your mileage may vary.

I would say it depends on your needs... I love my Virus Ti and i think it is one of the best all around Synths and I am a synth whore. But, Protools 8 is very nice and so far has been very stable for me. If you could use the features of Protools 8 then I would say go for it.

It works fine on my Macbook Pro... It's my Mac pro with my video card that does not seem to work. Maybe it's limited to my video card. It a nvidia Gforce 8400gs. It works the first time i open the plugin, but then it does not work after i close the plugin window and then re-open and try to select a different patch in the browser. The pointer is on the top of the browse window and when i select something it selects a patch maybe 5 patches down from the mouse pointer.

what's the specs of your MP and video card. i have one here from january 2008 (2.8, std. configuration). let's see if i can replicate it.

cheers, marc

I have the standard latest 2.8 quad core 4gigs memory with the nvidia 256 MB 8400gs video card. I am running OSX 10.5.6.

i'm on the same OS and a radeon HD2600. i doubt that it makes a difference. in fact, if it would, it would be beyond the scope of VC. did you contact access support?

best, marc

Marc,
Thanks for all of your help. I initially wasn't really asking for help on this forum. Just making an observation that i know may only be true on my machine. I will definitely call tech support if i cannot troubleshoot it. I would like to try and swap out my video card first and see what happens. Again, I really appreciate your trying to help me out. Access is a great company with great products.

Regards,

Mike
