Question for Digidesign

Crazy 13immer · Messages: 3,436 Registration: 12.03.2003

I am a TDM user with many current TDM/RTAS/Audiosuite plugin bundles running Protools 5.1 in Mac OS9 and I want to get the Mbox to mix and edit on the go on my G4 laptop. Will all my Bombfactory, Waves and other plugins work in Protools LE 5.2 that comes with the Mbox. I won't buy the Mbox if I have to buy all my plugins all over again. Thanks for your time Digidesign.

Pro Tools LE 5.2 for Mbox will have the same RTAS and Audiosuite plug-in support that the current Pro Tools LE 5.1.1 has.

Will all the RTAS and Audiosuite versions in the TDM bundles I am running in ProTools 5.1.0 work in Protools LE 5.2 ?

Seems like your question has been answered rather clearly above, no?

<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:<HR>Originally posted by pk_hat: Seems like your question has been answered rather clearly above, no?<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Actually the question was avoided. If none of the plugs that work on TDM 5.1 work on LE 5.1.1, they won't work on LE 5.2 either. And the question was, will they work? The answer given, just means that if one has the chance of testing the plugs on LE 5.1.1, one will then know which of them will work on LE 5.2. But if one doesn't have the chance to test this ... The answer we're looking for is: Yes, all native plugs running on TDM 5.1 will work with LE 5.2!

If the plug-in version you own and use on a TDM system includes RTAS and/or AS versions, then you can use them on an LE system. I believe the only exceptions are that Focusrite d2 and d3 are AudioSuite but not RTAS on LE systems. I don't know about other manufacturer's plug-ins, but that is generally the case. For instance, Waves TDM Gold bundle includes native versions of RTAS and/or AudioSuite versions of many of the plug-ins, so you can use those on an LE system as well. By LE system, this would include Pro Tools LE with an AMIII, Digi 001 or Mbox. Pro Tools Free will also run RTAS & AudioSuite plug-ins, except those from Antares and Bomb Factory, that I know of. As always, you should check with the individual manufacturer regarding compatibility, but there should be no changes in compatibility with PT LE 5.2 if their plugs currently work with PTLE 5.1.1.
