need PT practice prgram

PaRaNoId · 7th July 2004

I am SONAR 3.0 user, but now that I'm getting a second computer, I figured I would install some version of Pro Tools so I can hone my chops in it and also work on stuff that may have been brough to me as PT files. However, the free version on digidesign's site is like version 5.xx and only runs on Windows 98. Any ideas on how I could get my hands on an updated, XP-compatible version of PT (without buying a digi interface)?

Look for a used MBox?

Somebody had an Mbox for $250 on the sale board.

Don't count on it.

Just find someone's old disc for WIN 98, load it onto your new computer, and you are all set. Probably your cheapest solution.
