Pro Tools® 9

I‘ve finally got Pro Tools® 9.0.1 up and running on my laptop, on a separate partition booting into Windows® 7.  It can run in stand-alone mode without any external hardware, just the iLok® — or with my Digidesign Mbox 2® audio interface… very exciting!

Next: upgrade the studio machine…

This little application saved me 3 times this week, in updating my dual-boot Pro Tools® laptop to Windows® 7 (for the Pro Tools® partition), very impressive.
