OVERALL OPINION

I use it for now for a week and I discover all
day new things without even opening the manual.
The only sequencers I've used so far are
consumer software that allows an approach to the computer music.
What I like most is that Pro Tools 10 is compared in French
to version 9.Il Plugins are galore.
I was also amazed by the instrument Xpand2 which has superb sound that will
well my keyboard CVP303 completed.
I think I'll invest in structure probably also because the videos on the net
are bluffing.
The value for money is excellent as purchased bundled with a mini map mbox
for cheaper than the software alone.

Although I am a ball computer, the installation posed no worries.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

I made the leap from hardware to software with Pro Tools 9. Now in version 10. Associated with a mac mini, and a Fireface UFX card UAD2 satellite. Everything works great and I'm very happy.

OVERALL OPINION

The French language, it feels good even though at first we realize that we are really used to the English terms.

I use PT so very basic, and I certainly never use many functions. I love the interface that is clear and easy to understand. PT is my first app if I exclude those dedicated to the hardware.
I did not need a manual, I have not yet been a major concern.

I do not really know the difference with previous versions, except the language. Anyway, from 9 to 10, I work the same way and the software reacted the same way. My experience with Pro Tools and my being feels intense use can, I can not clarify further.

Avid finally went to downloads only for Pro Tools 10. Which is much preferable for me than waiting for a boxed package to arrive. Buy download, install, work! I like it.
Install and dongle update went without any issue.
For an Avid product the manual is actually comprehensive and easily enough digested.
The new features on Pro Tools 10 is what made me jump on an early version and it runs fairly stable to my surprise.
The stand outs for me are that Audio Suite plug-ins know can be frozen. I rather would've had track freeze but I will settle for this for now.
Also object based volume automation ala Samplitude/Sequoia. Which for some one like me that has spent many years in Smaplitude/Sequoia is a must. Unfortunately you need the Complete Production Tool Kit or HD system to convert object based automation into volume curves. Oh well...I don't think I want to spent another 2000 for that.
The other thing I'm missing that's part of the tool pack is that you can customize your system cache and various other settings for performance improvements.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

It works as advertised. Still has some of the Avid/Digi Design oddball concepts I will never understand.
Like that short cuts aren't user definable. And worse what about commands that don't have short cuts. I will never understand that.
Finally Avid stopped claiming that none needs or wants the ability to record at 32 bit float. Guess after years of Steinberg doing it finally it was acceptable.
WHich raises a bit of an issue with backwards compatibility. But Avid actually took care of it. The file extensions are no longer .ptf they are now .ptx. And if you have a project that has 32 bit files you want to open in a prior version of Protools you need to save it as "earlier version Protools 7-9" where it converts those to 24 bit files.

OVERALL OPINION

I work in it, there is room for improvement. The 299 upgrade is IMO too high it should be 199.- but it is a necessary evil.

Installation is no problem. you just pay attention to the instrument air package that changes relative to version 8.
if not no problem.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

I work on a PC assembled with a quad core processor intel q8600
with 4 gigabytes of RAM under Windows 7 with a sound card RME HAMMERFALL 9652 (I know she is older, but it's very good stuff), the configuration is stable and the performance are waiting for you.
if not I use the wrapper for fxpension vst plug that works very well with the native ssl duende.

OVERALL OPINION

I Utis since December 2011 and I am very satisfied.
the last project featured 86 tracks and did not flinch!
In conclusion I would say value for money this a great tool (even if it is not HD) and in addition it goes everywhere. Take your BACKUP format protools session and go into a studio session and open your protools HD on such thunder of its progress.

Well, version 9 dj opened the way with open interfaces to third. Exit Digidesign, Avid is now.
I download and install the update has no possible problem. My license PT 9 t remove my iLok key and replaces it with a double license PT 9 & 10.
The manual has undergone a development REFERENCE - days.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

I use PT 10 on a MacBook Pro 13 "2011 (Core i5 2.3 GHz, 4 GB RAM, 128 GB SSD Intel 510, OS X 10.7.3). The app has not a single plant time and trs appeared stable (more than 8 in any case).
The feeling of performance is gross! Ms. display VU meters is ractif ...

OVERALL OPINION

So I use it for 1 month and the only thing a little Drout is the location of the software ... And yes dsormais Pro Tools menus in French! Well-sr can "cheat" and run it in English ...
The real plus for me are:
- The gain of the clips
- The bland time rel-
- Playback Engine amliorbr /> - new format for Avid plug (AAX)
- 32bit sessions
- App-in purchase
- Ractivitbr />
Well if the app is still not described in 64bit and look forward to!

Trs good installation, only worry was that I had a crack before Pro Tools and have put two / three concerns.

No problem, I am in Snow Leopard and everything works.

Easy setup if you know the software well.

No manual requires the download. But Pro Tools is in French so it's easier now.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

Mac Book 13 "core 2 duo 2.13 ghz, 2GB of RAM (insufficient), 150GB, 2 m box mini

The software works but it should be a better processor and more RAM

OVERALL OPINION

Since October, it is very practical, intuitive, etc. ..
I Logic Pro Pro Tools but I find simple and effective.
