Pro Tools 8 also cannot import current format sessions from more recent version of Pro Tools (but those users can save sessions in the old format). If you have Avid or third party plugins you need to make sure they are available in RTAS format (and ideally check they are claimed to run on your OS version and Pro Tools 8). Pro Tools started switching to AAX format plugins in Pro Tools 10. much less memory than Pro Tools 11 and later, and that constrains it for running lots of virtual instruments.
Pro Tools 8 is a 32-bit program, and so only supports up to 3.5 GB or so application memory. Why do you want to run such and old DAW? For compatibility with other systems? If you have been running it and are happy then, sure. Is this the best path to go down or should you get on a current version of Pro Tools?ĭo you actually have a PC that is capable of Running Pro Tools 8? (I'm hoping you do with the current computer you have). Do you remember the seller doing a transfer of ownership paperwork before? I'll get out of this and leave to Jeffro.īut before worrying about that. assuming you purchased that all together from a previous owner. There is a a transfer of ownership process that may still be available for Pro Tools 8 and old Digidesign hardware. You need to be really careful about buying used software.
Oh dear, you may not have purchased any software license.
