You must use one of the supported M-Audio interfaces. No way around it. You can use the midi interface with Pro Tools. Not sure about Steven Slate Drums - check their website.

Right, you must use an m-audio device and the ilok. It seems illogical to go from a full version of one to a crippled version of another - why do it? StudioMxpx said:. Click to expand TyphoidHippo said:.

I have never used Cubase, so dont think Im attacking I havnt used the software, but Im very curious as to what cripples my M-powered and what I might be missing out on Last edited: Apr 11, I can do the same thing in either of them Eff it, if we're gonna do this, then let's do it all the way - The next place this conversation goes is to the workarounds for these limitations: 1.

You can have multiple sessions, or bounce tracks down more often - some people think that's a pain in the ass, some don't: I do. Whether these problems were down to Pro Tools itself or poor implementation of the RTAS standard on behalf of the plug-in developers, I don't know.

I've been an unapologetic Pro Tools fan for a long time now. Where other software fills the screen with flashy graphics and cryptic icons, Pro Tools presents only the information you need to know, in a way that I find perfectly intuitive.

Its two-window design is supremely elegant, its editing tools are powerful and quick to use, its mixer is one of the most flexible around, and you have to kick it pretty damned hard to get it to fall over. I'll take those basic qualities over fancy bundled synths or loop-mangling tools any day of the week, and now that Pro Tools M-Powered has made them available on a much broader range of hardware, what's not to like?

I doubt that too many people will be bothered by PTMP 's inability to record at kHz, but its lack of support for Direct Monitoring is unfortunate, given that Pro Tools is perfectly capable of making use of the same feature within Digi's and Rack hardware.

It might be that the port to M-Audio hardware has been a little rushed — some of the windows within Pro Tools M-Powered still say 'Pro Tools LE' at the top — but at least the features that are included work, and work well. Whilst Pro Tools M-Powered does open up welcome new hardware options for Pro Tools devotees, though, I can think of one group of users who will remain frustrated.

M-Audio interfaces such as the Firewire and Audiophile PCI cards fill some of the gaps in Digidesign's hardware range, but I can't be the only Pro Tools user who dreams of editing and mixing on my laptop using a slimline PCMCIA audio interface, rather than having to cart around an M Box or a Firewire interface and all its associated cables and power supplies. Existing Pro Tools users who want to move to M-Audio hardware might also feel justifiably aggrieved at having to pay full price for the M-Powered version of a program they already own.

After all, if you're a Cubase user and you decide to upgrade your audio hardware, you don't need to hand over any extra cash to Steinberg. Personally, I would hope that existing users' loyalty to Pro Tools would earn them at least a substantial discount, but Digidesign evidently don't agree. Ten years ago, the idea that one might actually want to pay money for a copy of Digidesign's editing and recording software would have seemed crazy to a lot of people.

Sales of TDM systems were driven by the hardware, with its unique low-latency, DSP-assisted mixing capabilities, and most of those using Digidesign hardware in a music-recording context left the software in the box and ran Logic or Digital Performer as a front end. It's not the most visually exciting piece of software, and it still lacks some of the advanced MIDI features available in rival products, but in terms of simplicity, intuitiveness and flexibility — not to mention stability — it's hard to beat.

Pro Tools M-Powered is simply the latest iteration of a mature, stable and comfortable recording program, and the fact that it exists is a powerful reason to consider M-Audio hardware over the alternatives. Whether you're already a Digidesign diehard or someone who's in the market for recording software for the first time, you simply can't afford to ignore Pro Tools M-Powered. If you own a compatible M-Audio interface, you can now add the industry's standard DAW to the equation when choosing your recording software; and if you're an existing Pro Tools user, you can now choose from a much wider range of recording hardware — if you're prepared to pay for another copy of Pro Tools to go with it.

Pros Increases the range of hardware options available to Pro Tools users. Provides users of M-Audio hardware with the option to use one of the best recording packages around.

Fully Session-compatible with other Pro Tools systems. Doesn't support Direct Monitoring on M-Audio hardware. Summary If you own a compatible M-Audio interface, you can now add the industry's standard DAW to the equation when choosing your recording software; and if you're an existing Pro Tools user, you can now choose from a much wider range of recording hardware — if you're prepared to pay for another copy of Pro Tools to go with it.
