Anybody here upgraded to Pro Tools 7 LE and having any luck with it? I cant seem to get the thing to work on my machine? Driving me mental, so unstable - often crashes on startup, often skimps out for no apparent reason. HAve tried so many things.

I hate the DIGI forum too - the members on there can never admitt that pro tools has any bad points and if you ask "Can Pro Tools do this?" and it can't E.G auditioning a looped file without having to listen to the whole thing (so starting from near the end) or without having to duplicate the part, or creating your own shortcuts for PC, then you either get no reply at all or someone tells u how to do it in a way that you've already stated that you know and do not wish to use. Irritating. And the other thing is that you have to pay to receive "priviledges" which you get for nothing on most other systems. Dont get me wrong I like it a lot but Digisdesign thrive on exclusitivity however their customer service is crap - GGRRR Excuse me Im just grumbling.

6.9 still works well for me. I don't have any real reason to move to 7.x yet but I've always found digi's stuff fairly stable if you stick to using supported hardware and OS versions.

what plugins do you have besides the stock digirack stuff? There are many plugs out there that need to be upgraded in order to work with 7. Symptoms include crashing the mofo instantly when loaded.

Mic modeler still hasn't been upgraded, so don't bother if that's one of em. Just remove offending plugins from your plugin folder and PT7 should load up fine for you.

We use PT7 HD at work and it's a charmer. No real problems to speak of. When weirdness happens, it's almost always the fault of a firewire drive that needs to be Disk Warrior'd or simply deleting Digi's database files on all drives solves the problem. I do this at first sign of any issues.

And really Lloyd, I've heard your complaints about the looping limitation before, but how often do you really need to do that? And why? And I'm not at work atm, but isn't there an option to unlink timeline and playback pointers? I never use it, but it seems with that selected (or unselected, whatever it is), you could make your selection without moving your playback pointer. the loop would follow the selection and playback would start wherever you want. Try it and let me know.

Still doubt I personally would ever use that... again I ask, why?

And finally, I think the DUC is one of the most professional, courteous, company-owned product forums on the planet. Try to find such help and civility on, say, the steinberg forums

Ok I know I moan a lot about it but the truth is I really do like Pro Tools, I'm just stressed out with verison 7. After doing some research and constantly surfing the DUC I have tried everything abpart from the Waves 7 update - which looks like it could quite easily be the thing causing the probs. Gutted because I never took the update plan with Waves so I guess I just have to save up until I can afford to take it out to get the update. Until then I am probably gonna have to go back to 6.x and turn off the hyperthreading

I dunno whether the link.timeline/selection will work - but will try now as I am about to start a new session

And yes the forum is generally quite helpful compared with some forums - Steinberg haha

I am just grouchy.

Will keep you posted. Anyway we need people like me to have constant problems so we can find more cures.

No the unlinking timeline and edit selection does not work - it does allow you to playback from anywhere in the loop but will not loop the selection regardless of whether look play back in enabled.

How often would I need to use this? Always man. What if I wanna find out whether a selection will will loop without separating or capturing regions first and then having to undo the whole process? Mainly this would save me time. Anyway I dont think that it bothers nearly enough people to make Digidesign think about including this as a feature - Damn.
