last week's conference call
Hello folks, I tried replying to a message earlier regarding this, but wasn't sure if it went through. If anyone has the mp3 of the conference call from last wee, would someone mind please emailing it to me? Thank you! Brian
Re: Installation and Activation: This? is! Driving? me, to drinking!
I'm 100% sure yes. It says flat out, that it's there and tells me thedate and time it was downloaded. so, yeah, I'm totally baffled. BTW, I was under the impression someone told me Avid was open 24/7. What do you do if you have to work a late night 3rd shift session, and are having issues? Where did I hear it was 24/7 I wonder?

Chris, I have to say, it sounds to me like you don't have an authorization on your iLok. I know Steve said that some versions of Pro Tools come with an authorization already on an iLok and I won't argue with that although I've never heard of such a thing. That aside, are you 100% certain that your iLok contains a license for Pro Tools? I mean, if you go to iLok.com, insert your key and synchronize it you can see the Pro Tools 9 authorization on the key? I've had no issues with getting a human on the phone at Avid when registering a product. I think you shouldn't give up on calling them to get help with the registration process.

Re: Installation and Activation: This? is! Driving? me, to drinking!
It will only show you downloads for full versions of products .. since the updates are available freely outside of the members area. It usually only shows you the download for the full version of products. For example if you were to by a download version of an upgrade to PT10 then the Full install for PT10 would be in the download area of your account. Once you have your access code its quite easy to get an avid rep on th ephone. Atleast i was in my experiences.

The 003 does not determine sample rate. sample rate is set when you create a session and, therefore, cannot be changed on the fly.

Also, log into www.avid.com and go to your downloads section and download the full version of PT 9, not the updater. It will run about 4 gigs. Hope this helps.

Re: Installation and Activation: This? is! Driving? me, to drinking!
Chris, I'm afraid I can't suggest anything other than to speak with your Sweetwater rep and Avid. I've never herd of an iLok with an authorization pre-installed either. I'm also not familiar with your specific flavor of Pro Tools, unfortunately. From what you're saying, it appears that you might have a damaged DVD as well. Hang in there and be patient. See what the folks say tomorrow.

Re: Installation and Activation: This? is! Driving? me, to drinking!
Slao, I managed to go to my ilok account and sure enough, now I'm seeing I have one ilok tied to my account, and it does show Protools pt9's license is indeed on it. The strange bizarre thing though is the 9.05 updater keeps failing in Lion when I run it. I also am noticing that the dvd which is 9.0 is being very problimatic. It's not installing hardly at all. It keeps failing. Once I get it to install, I'm going around and around in circles as I then try before even openning PT V 9.0, to install the 9.5 updater. This wasn't download from my avid.com account. I'm honestly not totally szure where the guy at Sweetwater got it. It was on the Avid web site but I don't know where as he had control of my system with Team Meeting and just basically did it for me. The bizarre thing is, we did use the yellow registration card included in the box, with the ID, serial, and release code. That card doesn't have an activation number. I think that's cause the ILok already had the license asset on it. I guess once I actually added the Ilok to my ilok.com account, it syncronized and added the license into my ilok.com web account. It just totally is baffling me now that the license is there on the ilok dongle, why on earth is it that when I try running the 9.05 updater does it either 1, fail, or 2, if I re-run it after it fails, even after rebooting my mac, it keeps saying no valid Protools installation found. If I then look under /applications in my Finder, then go to /digidesign/ProTools, I see protools Utilities.app, but I don't see the Protools mp.app that used to be there before I ran the updater. The weird thing too is, if I go to: http://www.avid.com Then I click on My Account, log in with my credentials, then go to download and activate my products, it wants an activation code. Well, I can't do that because the MAudio version doesn't have! an activation code. You don't need one! It's already there on the dongle that you get inside the box that they bundle with it. I didn't have to go buy the thing from ilok.com. I already got this one with the asset included. Anyway, no downloads show up. If I then click home, I'm returned to the Manage account page. From here, if I click on Your Products, it tells me no downloads found. So, it's not like I can get the full 9.5 installer, not just the updater. I'm just totally beside myself in perplexion.

It's not that I find SW a bad company, but I'm starting to wonder if MP9 can't be installed directly clean on Lion correctly. If you install it on SL, then update to 9.05, then update to Lion, I'm wonderring if that's how you gotta do it.

Re: Installation and Activation: This? is! Driving? me, to drinking!
Chris, I've never heard of an iLok authorization already being on an iLok. The way it works is that you register on the Avid site, provide them with your activation code, provide your iLok user name (which you need to create an iLok account first) and then they deposit the authorization into your account, you download the authorization to your iLok key and then you're done. Just because you have a physical iLok doesn't mean there's an authorization on there already. Now, things may be a little different with the M-Audio stuff but I highly doubt it. Let us know how it works out. Best, Slau On Mar 28, 2012, at 7:34 PM, Christopher-Mark Gilland wrote: > I spoke to Sweetwater about this, and they're not sure what is going on.

Interesting Observation
My DVD installer seems to keep consistently hanging at 97.3% with about a minute remaining. I'm not sure if it's gonna finish. It's actually been now sitting here at that point for almost 15 minutes! Chris.
Installation and Activation: This? is! Driving? me, to drinking!
I spoke to Sweetwater about this, and they're not sure what is going on. I tried calling Avid directly, and, well... you know how hard it is to get a live human there. If you don't, trust me, you're lucky you've not had to find out the hard way as I have! So, here's hoping Kevin Reeves, or Slao, or someone on this list can tell me what in the world I'm doing wrong, as I'm totally at a loss. I bought the bundled Protools MP9 from Sweetwater. It came with the USB Ilok, which by the way, ignore my last message on how to open the ILok, I feel totally stupid! It helps if you pull the right end of the stick. I was pulling on the end with the little hole in it! God I feel like an idiot! No wonder! Anyway, so, it came with the M-Audio Fast Track C400 interface. OK, someone explain this to me. I got it in a box, not the downloadable electronic registrration version. Remember this is PT MP9 version 9.0. Not 9.05, and definitely not V10. I was told though I could install this under Lion, it wouldn't run until I installed V9.05, which was a free update. So, a guy used Team Meeting from Sweetwater, and he helped me download the 9.05 update. Well, it's important to note. I first tried installing from my included DVD that was in the box with 9.0. The first attempt failed and said there were errors though it wouldn't tell me what they were. I installed this after installing the M Audio drivers that came in the box on DVD. Once I re-ran the installer for PT MP9, the next time, it went through fine. I then plugged in my ILok, as I was told the license should have been already on it, since my bundle came with an ILok already included. It did no good. I figured the update failed as maybe I needed to run PT at least once That wasn't the case the upgrade either keeps failing saying it incountered errors, or saying no valid ProTools installation found. I don't even know if my license is correctly on my ILok. I think it is, and the guy from Sweetwater logged into my account and said it looked to him like it was indeed on my ILok. I dono how he saw that being he wasn't remoted into my system at that time, and obviously, didn't have my ILok plugged into his system. Don't tell me I can't install 9.0 to Lion then upgrade it to 9.05. Don't tell me I am gonna have to downgrade to Snow Leo just to get the thing to install, then upgrade it, then upgrade back to Lion! I'm gonna be irately livid! if I have to do that! I'm already about to blow a gaskit over here. I've been working at this just getting the stupid thing installed literally non stop except for lunch since 10 this morning! That's no joke! Chris.

Nick, Your 003 has 8 analog and 8 digital inputs and outputs. You have a choice of mic or line input for the first four I/Os but can't use both for a single I/O channel. On board, you can use either mic or line inputs for the first 4 channels and line inputs for the second 4 channels. The digital channels are accessed through ADAT LightPipe so you'd need an external A/D converter for that. I'm not sure why you're getting a clock error. If you just bought your 003, you're entitled to technical support from Avid so you may want to take advantage of that. It could be any one of several things. I also urge you to read the manuals closely, especially the "getting Started" guides for setup instructions and follow them carefully. Keep us posted on your progress, Slau On Mar 27, 2012, at 11:37 PM, Nick Gawronski wrote: >> >> On Mar 27, 2012, at 10:06 PM, Nick Gawronski wrote: >> >>> Hi, Is it possible to use both microphone and line in inputs one and two at >>> the same time and have them going to different tracks?

The 003 does not determine sample rate. sample rate is set when you create a session and, therefore, cannot be changed on the fly. You'd have to use the "Save Copy In?" command to save the session in a different sample rate. > Is analog outputs 1 and 2 the headphone plugs or does it automatically > go to them if I did not change any other settings and what inputs are the > microphone and normal line in ones so I know?

Re: reading PT's documentation
I have the PT 10 manual converted to RTF if anyone wants it drop me an email off list requesting it as its too large of an attachment to send to the list. I should be able to convert the PT 9 manual as well if there is enough demand. That being said I used Kurzweil to do the conversion of the manual since i have it installed on my work laptop. Does anyone know of a utility for doing the same on the mac, that is free or inexpensive, and accessible? Yeah i am aware there is DocuScanPlus and i do plan on picking it up at some point, but there is gotta be away to get that functionality without spending $300 upfront.
