Junksoap « Little new features, but boy are they good! »
Published on 10/27/13 at 03:09Mark: 10
No issues whatsoever, I downloaded it from Avid's website and authorized it with the iLok key. Everything worked fine right from the start.
Avid has the good idea of including a pro tools version 10 so that you can use your RTAS plug-ins. Versions 10 and 11 can coexist perfectly side by side on the same drive. It's a delight!
No incompatibilities.
SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE
I run both versions on a last generation iMac i7 with 8Gb RAM... Version 10 is very good, but the same session with version 11 is less resources-intensive (I'd say 8 times less... )
Everything is very stable, it simply flows. The AAX format is amazingly flexible (Dynamic processing).
I gave it a 9 because the control panel of Eleven Rack is not implemented into version 11, which is regrettable....
Mark: 9
OVERALL OPINION
I have been using it for a bit over six months now. I have always used pro tools, there was a huge leap from version 9 to version 10... Regarding version 11, I'd say there are little new features, but the overhaul of the software makes it run 10 times better. You can load really huge sessions without it crashing, which is very nice.
When it comes to the offline bounce I'd say it took a long time!!!!!! But it's true that it's good to finally have it..
I'm truly amazed by the AAX format. I thought about changing my mac for a huge (and also very expensive) system, but in the end, upgrading to pro tools 11 is more than enough to deal with the resource-intensive sessions.
I don't think it's cheap, BUT unless you are very, very stupid and fork out $650 for a DVD, you can spend another $50 and get an ELEVEN rack, which includes pro tools...
Based on my experience, I wouldn't hesitate to buy it again.
Overall mark: 9 (for the implementation of the eleven rack interface in pro tools 11).
