Pro Tools FREE and Digidesign Hardware

Pro Tools FREE is not intended for use with Digidesign hardware

How Audio Services Work

  • Pro Tools FREE for Mac OS utilizes the Sound Manager

  • Pro Tools FREE for Windows utilizes your standard Windows sound driver

Warning

Installing Pro Tools FREE on computers configured with Digidesign systems will render the existing Digidesign system inoperable. A complete reinstallation of the original Digidesign software will be necessary.

The only configuration that works with Pro Tools FREE is an Audiomedia III card running on Windows 98 Second Edition. Users of Pro Tools 4.x should note that the Audiomedia III card is not compatible with Pro Tools FREE on the Macintosh. Pro Tools LE and TDM versions are fully compatible with Digidesign hardware; these are the versions which should be used with Digidesign hardware.
