Hi there thanks for the reply!
Well its not a standalone but i just discovered something neat:
If you launch PT 9 with the ER on and plugged in, then when the
little 'create / open a session' opens, select Cancel as i just did.
Lo and behold only the Eleven Edit window loaded !!
- it was fully functional and the closest thing to a standalone app!
Pro Toolz was still 'on' but the only window visible is the ER window
NeilMac, I think this works the same way in PT 8 as well. Cancel the session popup window and PT opens without a session open. You can then open only the 11R editor. It is still running in the PT environment, but just doesn't have all of the PT windows open.
