| I'm about to upgrade from the PT 6.9 I've been quite happy with to version 8, and would love to hear from anyone using 8 about pluses, minuses, glitches. Thanks. |

| It's a big improvement from 6.9. You'll spend a week just messing around with Elastic Audio. The interface is cooler, too, and they added some useful features that improve workflow. |

Good to hear...we are at 7.4 here...our ProTools tech wants us to wait one more update before we put it on the HD rig--going to bump the 2 LE systems to 8 on Friday...

| Considering you get 48 tracks and slew of free plugins, the upgrade is worth the money for that alone. A lot of great new features though, "playlist view" in particular very useful. |

I've updated one of my LE systems to 8, and it has been moderately stable.
I will NOT update my HD rig until 8.1 ! |

Mark, I had pt 6.9 which I really liked, but I had to upgrade to protools 8 a couple months ago because my old computer died. I think pt 8 is a big improvement. To me it just has a nicer feel to it. There are a few things which may take some getting used to (for me the panning), but overall I think it's better. I really like it.
Best of luck. |

Everyone I know was going to wait for 8.1. Don't remember who tried it first but the domino effect was quick.
I am loving 8... very minor issues. No more buggy than any other version. |

I'm currently running PTLE7.4x on a PC with XP Pro, but will be upgrading to 8 as soon as I can find the time to do a full backup of my hard drives. The upgrade and new drives are already purchased.
From everything I've read it was very buggy at first with a lot of installation issues, but subsequently has stabilized in more recent versions. I can't wait - the improved midi editing will be a big help for me, plus the added guitar plugs with Music Production Toolkit 2 will also be very welcome!  |
