SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

M 1.7 GHz Laptop Medion
No problem
It runs very well, even with Reason in rewire the ball
very stable for me

OVERALL OPINION

I used the last 1 month.
I like the sound of this software, best audio world for me, far cubase and others, simplicity plugs, sound, rewire, and many more.
a bit expensive and only works with m-audio or digidesign, too bad.
I redeemed without problem.

No problems during installation, sound card (audiophile 2496) immediately recognized and configured by default!
User of Reason Adapted, rewire mode is more intuitive than Cubase, for example.
Who handles used with the DAW, the overall configuration of the app is very fast and intuitive.
Regarding the manual, I find it very evasive regarding the installation and use of virtual instruments. When creating a home studio version of its flagship software, you should consider more importantly the virtual ...

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

I have a small PC purring not too bad: Amd Athlon 3000XP barton with 1GB of RAM, two hard drives of 80GB each 7200trs Western Digital, Sound Card M-Audio Delta Audiophile 2496

The software was created to work with the hardware MAUDIO, the matter is that stable!

As for performance, 32 simultaneous audio tracks, 256 MIDI tracks, and a possible three dozen plugins available, it is enough to work well.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for the past 6 months.

What I like most about this app is to work intuitively, and simply two windows! nothing to do with Cubase!
What I like least that's MIDI: grid Sampler slot not very practical for a former Cubase, quantification difficult short, even when it s'appercoi qu'l is more focused post production composition itself ...

Rated value, a simple and effective setup cost is less than 500euros card and soft understood then, what else?? ben nothing!

My conclusion: for the composition of cubase MIDI tracks (a simple version is sufficient in my case Cubasis vst5) sound card friendly and relatively powerful (MAUDIO mandatory in this case, but honestly, who gennera this?) And protools mpowered give you a good little workstation for more than préproduire models.
The possibilities for compatibility with larger versions of the software make it a great time saver in the development of albums that usually results in a non-negligible financial gain on the bill's pro studio for further operations.

For 360 euros, the case is more than interesting what they say if you look beyond the tip of his nose!

I'd love to tell you that everything runs but I wonder if this product is really compatible with a PC
No manual in French ....
Unable to work more than 5 minutes without bug.
SAV zero since I sent a SOS Digidesign France without success.
As against OS X does it work more than well ...

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

3.0 GHz PC with 1 GB of RAM Sound Card M-Audio FW 410.
The software does not work properly under my config pouyrtant which is much higher than required.
Pro Tools seems to be a great product but ....
Config unstable possible, no assistance

I mac G5 + m-audio 410 FW, excellent operation for non informatichiens.
Very good stability for this config ....
Average rating of 4 because I do not forget my experience PCs

OVERALL OPINION

I for one month
I love it 5 minutes or forward the bug, I would like more stability.
I have not tried before, but I'm very disappointed with everything in English and by the audience (what ????) assistance
After 5 minutes everything freezes and I am still waiting a response from Digidesign.
I wonder if this product is really suitable for Windows XP and the PC
My notte at the moment is a zero poit until eventually change their minds
I did not change his mind at the moment (16/08/2005)
I just wonder if Elfe2Mars not working Digidesign .... because I think the sound of my m-audio card lack of neutrality of ... + he has a counter that criticism, that of m-PT powered.
Until next purchase of a mini-mac I'm not satisfied with this prduit ... And considers non-PC compatible, unless being a pro pc.

I regret a little the color of his, but I think it's related to my m-audio card, which seems to lack neutrality.

So I corrected, I would do this choice now that I have a Mac, but with a PC, not of life.

- Install without pbs long as you also the latest drivers M Audio cards
- Simple

Pb: if you use the latest drivers m audio with Sonar 3 soft as it was a standard latency ... Surprises. So last drivers M + audio sonar 5 or Mpowered but not Sonar 3 ...

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

- PIV 2.8 1 GB ram 2 DD
- PERFOS it looks good
- Stable

OVERALL OPINION

- PT is compatible mainframes, making it his principal Intrets. That said with OMF or EDL CONVERT is vital that good?
- Excellent quality plugins

- Bcp qd even less:

- Long to boot
- You can not use eg 2 M audio cards eg a 24/96 or 1010 + February 1010
- Formats rather limited: to import a video file such a small c limit while in Sonar 3 I had no pb
- No VST wrapper
- Qd same price lev ...
- RTAS compatibility. But what is the amateur who may consider purchasing plugs srieusement 1000 piece?
- Part noon: one of those apps prfrera like sonar or cubase ...
Requires-XP SP2! Does not work on 2000 pro ...
- Book I think people who need a clear simple squenceur (pt is clear we do not deny) but did not want a gas plant genus Cubase MIDI or Audio genre Samplitude .

Its principal for me = default price. If dropped from Digi Manir very sensitive its price + possibility to chain at least two Delta + VST / RTAS Wrapper, my view would be VERY DIFFERENT, PT Powered M could become a product to monitor very closely, even habitus for Sonar I think so ... Maybe a soft too young ... Expect

Possible problems after the equipment used ...

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

Version less stable and much less complete than the original!

OVERALL OPINION

Let's say I'm a little pro and I work on protools past ten years.
This version does nothing if not a commercial alliance between M-Audio and Digidesign.
I think many will respond as MuseIque, users of Nuendo and sx3 will be very disappointed and this is normal. You need to have ProTools HD and DSP cards and extensions etc. to enjoy protools.
While many engineers prefer protools because he uses Cubase on a shitty soundblaster with a sm58 and protools in the studio with bands and Neumann m150 API, so distorted comparison!
And it is true that many engineers use protools as Magneto ... and maybe a plugin or two .... so this is not the most gifted sequencer!

- Simple installation but you need a map M Audio

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

- Dual core 2 gb ram etc.
- More than adequate performance

OVERALL OPINION

- Dcevant: a single card once (you can not use a simultanment 24-96 and 1010), some really basic MIDI, difficult to import the video (bcp formats are not recognized)
- To manage on two flat screen is the handyman must take great shots of mouse PT and then the environment as can rpart tracks on one screen, the table on the other
- I find the interface no extra
- No VST compatibility, you need to buy a soft supplmentaire

I would rather prefer to Sonar, Samplitude, Logic Pro and even the very cheap Music Studio Deluxe 2007 Magix!

I tried to BMD 7.3, I uninstalled after 2 hours, absolutely not convinced.

I had to install 3 times before you open the app ...

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

How can we talk about a soft performancespour that does not accept more than 16 inputs and outputs?

OVERALL OPINION

I use ProTools for some time but on configurations TDM or HD, I wanted to pay me for my studio I have sold the same day.

Protools is a good sequencer but that this version is a joke.

I put 5 becaufe the software is stable even when it is just useless for those who are mixing it with the plug.

M-Audio shame because they understood them, maps of high quality that can chain at will to blend in hardware without breaking the bank and here the result, an app that supports 16 I / O, a protools for children .. .
