What kind of updates? lol

So, the early adapters of 11 rack with pro-tools 8 (like myself) are left out in the cold

NO. If you are on 8 with the 11R, you are on LE. So YES you can take advantage of the $199 upgrade price. You WILL need an Ilok version 2 though if you don't already have one, which is about $49.

If you don't record is there really a need for pro tools if you have the stand alone editor. What different uses do you guys employ pro tools besides home recording? Thanks.

If you don't record, then you're right, there isn't a need of ProTools, or any other DAW for you.

Personally, I own and operate a small project studio. I collaboratively record on projects all over the country, and also do mobile recording.

Other folks here record as a hobby. Still others may record so that they can become better pickers and chronicle their progress.

If a person happens to be on an older version of Pro Tools, now is the time to upgrade to 11. After this version, all future upgrades will only be possible through a maintenance or subscription method. http://www.avid.com/us/products/pro-tools-software/licensing?intcmp=AV-HP-S1a

Thanks for this info! I haven't upgraded protools since 7.4 because it was too much to pay for that PLUS the waves plugins and whatever else that wouldn't work with the newer version. Now it is more worthwhile and would give me access to some older projects so it might be good to do. Thanks for mentioning this about PTLE.

Thank you for clarification!!

The upgrade bundle gives PT10 as well, but I already had 10 so anyone else that has up graded from an earlier PT let us know if you get it to.

i have my protools from the 11 rack purchase on a pc. i have switched everything over to mac. can i get an upgrade of my protools to go on my mac.

According to the website, all you need is the serial number of your 11 rack.. This is from their website:

Q. I have Pro Tools LE. Can I move up to Pro Tools?
A. Yes. For a limited time, you can crossgrade to Pro Tools 11 for only $199 through 2014—that’s over 50% off the previous crossgrade pricing, and includes an upgrade/support plan for one year. To take advantage of this limited time offer, simply provide a hardware serial number (not your Pro Tools LE authorization code) for one of the following Avid audio interfaces at the time of purchase and activate your Pro Tools 11 software by December 31, 2014:

Mbox family (3rd generation)—Mbox Pro, Mbox, Mbox Mini
Eleven Rack
003 family—003 Rack, 003 Rack+, 003 (control surface)
Mbox 2 family (2nd generation)—Mbox 2 Pro, Mbox 2, Mbox 2 Mini, Mbox 2 Micro
Digi 002 family—Digi 002 Rack, Digi 002 (control surface)
VENUE family—VENUE | SC48, VENUE FWx Option Card

YES

When you buy Pro Tools it is a multiple platform program. Meaning you get BOTH the Mac and the PC installers. Just download the one you want to install.

Good info! I just got my upgrade package from Musicians Friend!!

I currently run PT on both Mac and PC... You just move the the iLock from one to the other.

there is a pretty comprehensive tutorial for protools hd on creativelive.com. is there a significant difference between hd and protools 11 that would make this tutorial irrelevant to learn from.

Not having seen the tutorial in question, I would say that any tutorial covering Pro Tools 11 HD would be able to apply to Pro Tools native (non-HD) as well.

The major differences between HD and Non-HD would be in the areas of track count, available voices, video, surround mixing, VCAs etc.

The basic functionality is the same. Take a look at this link for more details. Pro Tools Comparion between HD and NON HD

yes, as long as you have the old license to surrender on the ilok..if you're upgrading to 10/11 (you get both if you buy 11) you'll need an ilok 2. when you upgrade and go to your download page you get the choice of which version, mac, pc, win 7 or 8 etc. you can install pro tools on as many pc's and macs as you like at the same time, it'll only work on any one of them at a time as it needs the ilok
