that sounds about right.

could it be that its just the project-studio types that have beef with protools ?

so why aren't you on protools forums making hundreds of posts a month rather than here--maybe because protools is an archaic bloated dinosaur of an app, and Live is way more intuitive, straight-forward and inspiring? Even the "project-studio" hardware that PT themselves have released and marketed sucks donkey (M-box anyone?)...

sheesh. two different apps, two different uses.

most people won't argue that digi is a dinosaur and their hardware sux, but then again, lots of people will admit that the pt software is ace for editing / postprod.

then again, some hate it.

i have a project mix i/o and i have never been able to get it to work with protools. after talking to digidesign's tech support and maudio's tech support, their only solution was to send the project mix back and get a new one. great advice, thanks guys! thank god it works in live. pro tools eats it anyway, i'm not all that upset, but yeah, the stuff they market as pro-tools compatible isn't really compatible at all. go to m-audio's site and look in the trouble shooting section for all of the hoops you have to jump through to get a project mix to 'work' with pro-tools. they ask you to create a device profile in audio / midi preferences (os x) that doesn't exist anymore, apple removed it in 10.4.2.

As for the turning down color bit depth, that might actually do something useful on the ordinary Macbooks, since they share system and gfx memory. The Pros have their own graphics memory so they shouldn't care.

1. were you using m-powered protools (the only version that works with m-audio gear)
2. do you have your ilok dongle
3. the audio/midi preferences are still there, they are in your /Applications/Utilities folder and are called "Audio MIDI Setup.app" and has been since as long as i can remember.. did you delete it for some reason?

/end tech support rant

1. yes
2. yes
3. i meant the profile they want you to use (mackie > hui interfance) is not a valid selection anymore in audio/midi preferences. i looked and looked and finally m-audio said, yeah, 'apple removed that profile selection from 10.4.2.' so that means the tech support 'help' on their website is no longer valid, and they know it.

Now there's a backward thinking and utterly crap statement.

even the LE system is a joy to use once you get used to it. And the convertors are great on the DIGI 001.

I used to hate it, but i love it now, its a great piece of recording software thats been as stable as you like on the g4 mac in the studio.

Good piece of software.

Moron.

actually digidesign removed that, it is on the installer cd in a package called
Unsupported Controllers.
