Published on 07/13/14 at 10:05The installation is easy, the hardest is managing the iLock account.
Being used to Cubase, I was a bit lost at first. The hardest for me was setting up the D/A inputs and outputs of my racks, as well as the buses and sends.
I haven't found any incompatibilities for now.
I haven't studied the manual enough for now.
SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE
Motherboard: Asus P8Z77-V Premium
Processor: intel core i7 3770
RAM: G-SKILL Extreme3 PC12800 Trident X CAS7
Hard Drive: SSD 840 PRO Samsung
Soundcard: Motu 828 MK2 FireWire
Its performance is excellent, the 64-bit buffer allows a very reliable latency and the direct monitoring is indispensable to record audio with big VST sessions.
Pro Tools 11 works correctly and is stable, for the time being....
OVERALL OPINION
I've been using it for 1 and a half months.
I have only tried Steinberg's Cubase before.
What I like best: Its performance handling software like east west or vienna.
What I like the least: That it doesn't have direct monitoring on the non-HD version and, especially, that it doesn't have an equivalent to MAP EXPRESSION and other details cubase has.
But most of all, the incredible complexity to switch to pro Tools HD which means forking out over 5,000 bucks...
I feel sorry for those who have a PCIe or thunderbolt card, who are forced to buy and AVID card even if they already have the best of the best. It must be hard...
