Avid did give me the 8.0.5. I tried again several times to load the PT 8.0.5. update and again it keeps asking me for a system id and serial number. Tried to open pro tools last night while connected to my eleven rack and it keeps showing a window that says:

This software requires a new version of the Interlock(R) device drivers and reboot before running. If you have not updated the drivers please download the latest install from www.paceap-com, run the installer and reboot your system.

so if during the start up I just keep closing these multiple windows that keep popping up and force PT to start I cannot see any amps,cabs, fx, etc in my edit window for 11Rack in PT. I can see that there are a whole bunch of (UI) files that do not load during the PT start up.

The only good thing that happened was the actuall 11R does have the expansion pack installed and I was able to access additional rigs etc and dial something decent in via the 11R on board controls, but the PT interface and the ability to load rigs from computer or record are completely dead and I am so frustrated I dont even have words to describe!

My apologies guys, i should have opened a new thread about my issue and not switchwed gears on Singtall's thread here. My badd.

Depending on your computer you will need the 8.5 install .exe from Avid, you computer won't allow you to simply update it.

Their tech support is very helpful if you call them.

Well this may be a dumb question, but do you have an iLok connected to you computer? You would need it along with those Interlock drivers to get everything up and running properly.

@Mike, I have never had an Ilok? If I recall I dont think PT8 needs one? If you go to PT 9 or above you defenitly need one. That is why i dont understand all this Ilok stuff? I just want to update to 8.0.5.? Back in 2011, I actually recieved an email from Avid providing me a link to update my current version of PT 8.0.1. to .05? At that time I was already so frustrated with Avid and the 11R/PT that i was off to some other quest for tone and my 11R was tucked away collecting dust! Now 18 months later Im back, LOL! And its back to the same old BS with this F-ing thing!

If I remember correctly, the Eleven Rack or an Mbox would work with PT8 without an iLok, but the kicker is that you would definitely need the iLok for storing any plug-ins that you would be using in PT (compressor, reverbs, etc..)
So getting an iLok MAY fix your problems...especially since PT was asking for updating the Interlock drivers.

I dunno, maybe someone else has a better idea though...

Good Luck

Thanks Mike, i am waiting to hear back from Avid hopefully soon,. i really want to try Ross's rigs and all of benoni's stuff. it all looks great.Thanks for the input.

damn dude. these are so good. Worth the donation. Thanks Ross. OK if I tweet this thread to give you a little extra boost?

Twincam, sorry if this was mentioned before:. Have you tried loading rigs with Eleven Hack? It's a pretty good librarian now.

Hey Jason, I briefly tried it. I couldnt figure out how it worked? Probably my dumb computer skills at fault? I tried to drag and drop the patch into the 11hack but that didnt work. How do you do it? Also I am primarily trying to use my 11r as a live rig and it is easier for me to use the edit window in PT to do my tweaking. But I think getting away from PT all together is starting make more sense! One of the guys posted recently he wanted to go to Winter NAMM just to kick Avid in the balls!! Im still laughing about that!
