Pro tools le 7.4cs8

ProTools will launch, playback, process files, etc in Win7 But, eventually, you'll probably have playback error messages especially if you run any plug-ins. This is because no version of ProTools is compatible with any 64 bit version of Windows. If you're running Windows 7 bit odds are you should be fine, even though no ProTools software is officially supported yet on Windows 7 by Digidesign.

BTW, don't blame yourself for being a noob. Digidesign is holding issues like this over users heads to make us pay hundreds of dollars to upgrade and frankly its BS. I am a total noob to computers. I don't remember what happened, but it the Pro Tools application didn't even come up. What did was 'Pro Tools Application has stopped working.

Windows is checking for a solution to the problem. I now get error code 0xc and it says the thing closed. I've reinstalled numerous times, run it in many different compatibility modes, run it as administrator I have the system requirements Pro Tools LE 7. I can't find the problem! Could it be a virus? If you move a Warp Marker so far that the amount of time compression and expansion is deemed to be excessive, Pro Tools warns you by turning that section red.

The screenshot below shows a realworld example where I used Elastic Audio to bring vocals into time. The sync mark with the green arrow shows where the singer placed a syllable change, while the yellow line in the track above is the locator point, which shows where the instruments changed their chord.

The two should be in the same place, but aren't. So I switched the vocal track to Elastic Audio, went into Warp view, placed Warp Markers at the start and end of the word to act as anchors, and then placed another at the syllable change point. Then I simply dragged that point to the right to line up with to the locator point, and the singer was in time with the instruments — simple. All of this was in a Session with no click and no tempo grid to work to, and all tracks were samplebased rather than tickbased.

The Elastic Audio plugin window enables you to finetune the timestretching. If you need to change the tempo significantly — especially if a significant slowing down is involved — you may find the sound has been compromised, but Elastic Audio has another feature to help counteract this. Clicking on the Elastic Audio Mode button opens up the Elastic Audio plugin window for that track, and you can adjust the Decay control to bring the sound quality back into line.

Sometimes you can also improve the results by switching to a different algorithm: for instance, if you are stretching kick-drum sounds to get a longer, richer thud, it is worth trying Polyphonic mode rather than the usual Rhythmic, and increasing the Decay value.

Here, Warp Markers are being used to move a syllable change within a word so that it coincides with a musical event. Prior to Elastic Audio, producing believable varispeed effects has been difficult. It could be done by adjusting the clock speed of Pro Tools and somehow recording the result; then came along a couple of Audiosuite plugins, including Wave Mechanics Speed, Waves Soundshifter and Serato's Pitch n' Time, which could render good varispeed effects, but none was especially cheap.

Now, however, Pro Tools can do it out of the box: simply make sure your tracks are set to use the Varispeed algorithm and draw your slowdowns and speedups on the Tempo track. You can use Elastic Audio on samplebased tracks, but if you want to automatically conform a Region to the Session tempo, you'll need to switch your track to the tickbased timebase. You can then rightclick the Region and select Conform to Tempo, and Pro Tools instantly moves all the events so they line up with the tempo of the track.

It seems so much more 'intelligent' than Beat Detective, which may well be down to the improved transient detection. You can also quantise audio to a groove, rather than the strict tempo of the Session. This is accessed from the Event Operations option in the Events menu; if you choose the Quantise option in the submenu, you can select a groove from the dropdown menu. Make sure you have Elastic Audio Events selected at the top — if you have Audio Regions selected, Pro Tools will move the complete Region rather than the elements within it.

At last it's possible to create realistic tapestyle varispeed in Pro Tools, by switching tracks to Varispeed mode and editing the tempo map. Does Elastic Audio replace Beat Detective, then? In many ways I think it probably does, although Digidesign have added an improved analysis option to Beat Detective, which suggests they think there is life in it yet.

The key difference is that Beat Detective 'cuts up' files and moves small regions around to conform events, whereas Elastic Audio uses time compression and expansion. I had expected that Beat Detective would be the only way to be sure you could guarantee absolute phase coherence when moving around groups of events across multiple tracks. However, I understand that one of the reasons why version 7. Certainly, judging from the content I have played with personally and heard in demonstration, Elastic Audio is more than good enough at reconforming multitrack events without creating undesirable sideeffects.

It took me ages to sort out and with Elastic Audio it would have been done in no time at all! Various other aspects of Pro Tools have been improved to make integration of Elastic Audio as smooth as possible. Many of these enhancements are found in the Digibase Browser. The difference in software compatability between Home and Premium would be non-existent anyways since they both run on the same kernel.

Like how XP home and professional ceased to exist after SP2 because everybody realised it was a bunch of nonsense anyways. I'm glad we can add Pro Tools to the list of software that doesn't throw a hissyfit on Vista. Altough I guess it helps the Digidesign board communicates directly with Pro Tools rather than through Windows.

Home Premium is in the testing stages. However we do have some customers who have gotten it to work with that OS. I would check the forums to see what other customers are saying about that OS. Received that order today, followed the install by the book and immediately got an error message saying that it could only be installed on Mac OS or Windows XP with SP2.

Not sure where to go from here. I tried calling their tech support today but they're closed on Fridays. So I emailed them the question and hope to hear from them sometime after the weekend. I guessing that you've gotten past this hurdle by now since your post was in January?

I'm not just replying to my own post to feel popular. Posted 17 April - PM It probably worked for you since you could have the service pack installed, I do believe that Microsoft recently released the first of what will no doubt be many service packs.

Posted 24 May - AM For XP there was the so-called WaveDriver that lets the Digidesign devices function as the soundcard within other Windows applications, the last time I checked there was no Vista driver available Most computers ship with an onboard chip for sound anyways, if it is deactivated in your BIOS, reactivate it and Vista should find it. You can then of course connect that card to the src in of your Digi.

I cant install pro tools onto my computer because i have vista Money G.
