| Use PT LE 8 with DV/Music toolkits on Vista Home Premium at home and take sessions to and from PT HD 8 on Mac at work.
Both systems work fine, with an equal amount of ProTools headaches on both systems. We all know the kind. I think it's safe to say that PT headaches are cross-platform compatible.
If you go through the tips on setting up and configuring XP or Vista for PT and mind the recommended compatible computer parts, you should be fine. If you start treading into unsupported PC parts, you could be in for some headaches. And for either system, the more you change around your system config by adding hardware/software, the higher the chance you are going to run into compatibility issues.
+1 on Macdrive. Install it and forget it's there. I wish more software was this transparent and simple.
No experience with HD on a PC, but from my experience LE8 loads up nice and fast. |
