You need a firewire connection, most likely at least 2 gig ram and a decent processor.
The requirements aren't nearly as high as gaming for example, but if you want to record a large number of tracks simultaneously you need a decent processor.
If you already run pro tools with something like an mbox, you have no issues, just need a firewire connection.
See the manual
Pro Tools LE 7 will run on Windows Vista, when installed properly.
Upgrade to Pro Tools 9 or newer.
Some people can run pro tools on the Dell Inspiron 1520 and some have issues. It is best to contact dell support.
No it can not. Pro tools 10 requires Mac or Windows operating system not present in the PS3
Pro Tools 9 can be expanded to 256 tracks of playback (assuming you have a computer fast enough to run that many) using the Complete Production Toolkit.
All Pro Tools programs require an interface to run. At start up it will shut down or stop loading as it searches for the interface. I'm not using Pro Tools 9 myself but that has always been a go to so the program can not be pirated.
Pro Tools 8 needs Windows 7 in order to operate and cannot run on earlier versions of Windows such as XP.
No, you need to get it most likely at an online retailer or something like Guitar Center/Sam Ash etc. You won't be able to find it in most stores. Remember you need an interface to run Pro Tools as well.
The MPK49 uses class compliant drivers and does not need to be 'set up' or changed to work in Pro Tools. The MPC1000 can transmit and receive pad data and MIDI Time Code and Clock with the computer by using a USB-MIDI Interface.
Pro Tools LE (up to version 8.0) will only work with Avid (Digidesign) hardware, ie. MBox, Digi 002, 003 etc. Pro Tools M-Powered works with approved M-Audio USB and Firewire audio interfaces, not the USB microphones. It is not possible to use multiple USB or Firewire audio devices in Pro Tools LE or M-Powered.
Run and Run and Run.
