While we do not anticipate problems, we have not completed our in-depth testing of SP2 with Pro Tools, so it is not officially qualified or listed as such on our compatibility documents at this time.

Note: Subsequent to this release, Digidesign has qualified SP2 with all Pro Tools LE and TDM systems with Pro Tools 6.4 and higher, including Pro Tools LE and TDM version 6.7. If using Digi 002 or Digi 002 Rack, Pro Tools LE 6.4cs9 or higher (including Pro Tools LE 6.7) is required.
