backbacon Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 Anyone have an idea what the chances are of running well Pro Tools on a PC or have experience doing so? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaggyBalls Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 You need the m.audio/digidesign hardware to run it on PC properly, but it can definitely be done.Get the toys to use it...otherwise, I'd say you're just as far ahead using anything else.

backbacon Posted September 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 Yeah, I understand I need to get some proprietary hardware. Just worried about my current setup not being able to handle it/ not being able to properly go back and forth between my PC and Mac with the files. Thanks DRKN.

jonyak Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 if you posted your current system we could tell you whether you will have trouble alot better.the main thing is if you have an older system, once you get alot of tracks running, it will slow down.alos if you have an older system and plan on running a firewire/usb2.0 multichannel system you may not have the correct ports for the hardware.

Tungsten Gruvsten Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 track count won't be the problem - it will be plugins and DSP based stuff - i've used protools on older computers and it ran fine with 20+ tracks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouche Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 I didn't think that you actually needed special audio interfaces. I just thought that there were optimized versions like M-Powered for m-audio, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaggyBalls Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 m-audio makes some of the special audio interfaces for digidesign.That's how most people afford using Pro Tools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
