Music Production Toolkit 2 (MPTK 2) Authorization Problem!! December 18, 2008
Posted by ConnorSmith in : Digidesign, Pro Tools , 1 comment so farDO NOT try to download and authorize the MPTK 2 yet for Pro Tools 8….
Apparently when you try to install it, it surrenders your old MPTK license, but the MPTK 2 version doesn’t properly authorize, so all you are left with is a non-MPTK Pro Tools…
I know big software releases are a huge deal for companies like Digidesign, and they have a lot of things to worry about, but considering how happy people were about the MPTK 2 upgrade, you’d think someone would have actually tried to download and authorize the MPTK 2 before releasing it the public.
As far as I’ve heard, no one has gotten it authorized…
EDIT: More bad news… digidesign.com seems it couldn’t handle the downloads and traffic, so its down… A seemingly buggy PT8, an MPTK 2 that doesn’t work, and a downed website…. uh oh Digi! I hope they can turn this one around….

Pro Tools 8 now in stock and shipping from Sweetwater.com??? December 16, 2008
Posted by ConnorSmith in : Digidesign, Pro Tools , add a commentSo I stumbled upon this page:
http://www.sweetwater.com/feature/digidesign2008/protools8.php
and it seems that Sweetwater has PT 8 in stock?? I can’t say for sure if this is correct, but it is on their site. I had pre-ordered mine awhile back, so if I get a shipping notification tomorrow, I will be sure to let everyone know.
I don’t know if its related, but I got a non-auto email from someone at Sweetwater about something else, but it was fairly late at night for them. Perhaps everyone is staying late to pack up the version?? (well, I doubt it, but I really hope it ships soon)
PT 8!!!!!!……. didn’t ship yet…. gah December 12, 2008

A super quick note about Pro Tools 8 upgrades – November 24, 2008
Posted by ConnorSmith in : Digidesign, Pro Tools , add a commentJust thought I’d add that I called Sweetwater today to pre-order Pro Tools 8, but found out that the upgrade fro the Music Production Toolkit to the MPTK 2 ($50) isn’t available through the normal retailers. That will be obtainable once you register Pro Tools 8 through your Digidesign account (on Digidesign.com).
A new DAW comparison… November 23, 2008
Posted by ConnorSmith in : Digidesign, Digital Audio Workstations, Pro Tools , add a commentWith Pro Tools 8 on the verge of release, I think its worth updating the Pro Tools LE features description. Although there are still some features that we are still waiting for in Pro Tools LE (ADC…), version 8 brings a lot to the table. (more…)
