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
