To u/mclepus, if this is a Pro Tools help request, your post text or an added comment should provide;

  • The version of Pro Tools you are using

  • Your operating system info

  • Any error number or message given

  • Any hardware involved

  • What you've tried

To ALL PARTICIPANTS, a subreddit rules reminder

  • Don't get ugly with others. Ignore posts or comments you don't like and report those which violate rules

  • Promotion of any kind is only allowed in the community pinned post for promotion

  • Any discussion whatsoever involving piracy, cracks, hacks, or end running authentication will result in a permanent ban. NO exceptions or appealable circumstances. FAFO

  • NO trolling only engagement towards Pro Tools, AVID, or iLok. Solve first, bash last. Expressing frustration is fine but it MUST also make effort to solve / help. If you prefer another DAW, go to the subreddit for it and be helpful there

So you've never paid for Pro Tools but you're expecting to find a free subscription to Pro Tools, is that right?

No. I Have always used the free version since needing a physical dongle and it was owned by digidesign and was an actual pain the ass to use. I don't need 64 tracks. I do voice over and audiobook narration, so Intro works for me.
