Updating Pro Tools 5.3.1 Software to Version
5.3.1cs7
In order to use Pro Tools 5.3.1cs7, you
must first run the Pro Tools 5.3.1 installer, either from
the Pro Tools 5.3.1 CD or the Pro Tools 5.3.1 download:
Pro Tools 5.3.1 for Pro
Tools|HD Macintosh Systems
(if you have previously installed 5.3.1, you do not need to install
it again)
You will need to manually install the individual
files using the following instructions:
Installing the Pro Tools 5.3.1
version 5.3.1cs7 application:
- Drag the new Pro Tools 5.3.1 application into the Pro Tools
folder within your Digidesign folder
- Click OK to replace the older version
Note
that if you have changed the memory allocation assigned to Pro Tools
5.3.1 from the default setting, you will need to repeat the process
and change the memory allocation for Pro Tools 5.3.1cs7.
Note:
If you have previously installed Pro Tools 5.3.1r2, 5.3.1cs2, 5.3.1cs3,
5.3.1cs4, 5.3.1cs5 or 5.3.1cs6, you will only
need to replace the Pro Tools application.
If you have not
previously installed Pro Tools 5.3.1r2, 5.3.1cs2, 5.3.1cs3, 5.3.1cs4,
5.3.1cs5 or 5.3.1cs6, you will need to install the additional
components included in the download:
Installing the Digidesign StreamManager
extension:
- Double-click your startup drive to open it.
- Drag the new Digidesign StreamManager extension onto your closed
System Folder, which will automatically ask to put it in the Extensions
folder.
- Click OK to replace the older version.
Installing the ProControl and
Control|24 personality files:
- Open your System Folder/DAE Folder/Controllers folder.
- Drag the new ProControl and Control|24 personality files into
the Controllers folder.
- Click OK to replace the older versions.
Should
you need to revert to the "older" versions of this software, run
the Pro Tools 5.3.1 installer, or drag the files from the 5.3.1
installer CD.
Digidesign StreamManager_128:
There is also a StreamManager_128 version with the 192 Digital
I/O fix that is included with this download. If you are using the
192 Digital I/O, and you wish to also use the 128 sample buffer
version of StreamManager with the fix for the 192 Digital I/O rather
than the standard 512 sample buffer version in this download, you
will need to install this version. See the included StreamManager_128
ReadMe.pdf for installation instructions.
