Anyone successfully use a Digi001 with version 6.7 of PTs? I really want the tick function, but don't wanna dump the 001... yet...

6.4.something was the last version which'll work with the 001

I currently have a 001 on os 10.3.9 and am running PTLE v6.9...6.7 should work fine w/ your 001...The limit for us 001 users is PT7..001 and PT7 is the end of the line for us...Shit I'll keep my 001 till it's f'ing dead..I use my apogee anyhow and rarely even use the digi pre's / converters...

Peace

PTLE 6.4 is indeeed the last version that will run on a Digi001. DigiDesign wrote code into version 6.7 to make it NOT work wth a Digi001.

By the way what do you mean by the "tick" function...

The tick function sounds really cool... fer instance, you can have a track of drum regions -- kick, for example -- and if the track is in tick mode, if you alter the tempo map of the song, the kick hits will follow automatically, instead of having to manually re-grid them...

This is how Sound On Sound describes it:

"Tick-based Audio tracks: Tick, or musical tempo-based audio allows you to change the tempo of a piece and have all the region boundaries remain at the same musical position. This means you can change the tempo of a song after recording and, providing there are region boundaries in the right places, all the audio files will move in time so they remain at the same points in the song. What it won't do, though, is time-compress or expand audio to fit ? it only moves region boundaries. You will need time to get your head round this one, but the impact of it for integrated MIDI and audio work in one application is enormous."

As far as I know, there's no other way to do this in PTs...

Shit that actually sounds really nice..I reformat and compose ringtones at this studio and that could actually save me alot of time...Well at least a bit per session but it does all add up in the end...I'll have to look into it...Peace

Yes it's fantastic for midi. Change the tempo and it all snaps into place. For audio to work you'd have to be using only sample snippets on a grid, which would all line up just like midi.

For the project that I'm working on, I've recorded real drums, sliced them up, then aligned them to a tempo map that was created from a previously recorded acoustic guitar track, and even though the groove of the acoustic guitar breathes -- to use a euphenism -- the drums lock into step with it and breathe as well, and it sounds flipping great, like the whole bit was recorded live... I'm really blown away how well this technique works... Having the Tick capability would only make it that much more powerful... I may have to buy an Mbox2...
