Did any of you guys download the free Pro Tools First

[DrNomis_44]

Well, Avid finally emailed me the download link for downloading my free copy of ProTools First, I'm downloading it now, the file size is 823.02 Mb.


Update:



Just finished installing Protools First and have experienced my first major issue with it, basically, when I try to launch the Protools First software I get a "Sign-in to ProTools was not successful" error message and it asks me to enable cloud support, then when I click on the ok button the software closes.


Update 2:


Okay, I finally fixed the problem, not sure how but ProTools Free is launching now, but, I still get some error messages about some plugins, on the upside it recognises my Scarlett 2i2 USB Audio Interface and is happy using it.

What errors are you getting DrNomis

Basically certain plugins not found on my system, and there was one error message about one plugin not being a valid 64 bit plugin so it wasn't available, it gave me the option to rent or buy the missing plugins.

The best thing You can do is download all the latest plugin versions, this will remove some of the errors.The other errors are showing you that you have expired plugins for those you'll need to rent or buy as you stated above. Also make sure the shortcut for pro Tools on your desktop is run as administrator.

Run as Administrator

This can help with various launch issues as well as a variety of MIDI issues (i.e., no MIDI output or control surface communication) and using the Avid/Digidesign hardware driver in third-party DAWs.

Right-click on the Pro Tools icon on your desktop.
If using a third-party DAW, right-click on that application's icon instead.
Choose Properties.
Click on the Compatibility tab.
Check the box that says "Run this program as an administrator."
Click Apply and then OK.

Cheers, I'll give that a go tomorrow and see how it goes..

Update:

I've just tried launching ProTools First, selecting "Run As Administrator" and I get this error message:


c:\Program Files\Avid\Pro Tools First\System Plug-Ins\Elastic Audio.aaxplugin\Contents\x64\Elastic Audio.aaxplugin could not be loaded. Please contact the software publisher for support using this software.

Error details:


import DLL iZotope_Radius_XForm_x64.dll cannot be loaded.



I click on the ok button and then a window appears with the following message:


The following plugins failed to load because they are not valid 64 bit AAX plug-ins:

Elastic Audio.aaxplugin



It then asks me if I want to move the plugin to the "Plug-ins (unused)" folder, I click on "Yes" and then I get another window with the message:


Error occurred while trying to load the controller personality "EUCON".

Ok reinstall the elastic audio plugin if you can.But before that restart your Windows try restart.The error ref isotope I hope this helps.
http://duc.avid.com/showthread.php?t=338436.i don't think eucon is win 10 compatible yet DrNomis. Sometimes just uninstalling and reinstalling the isotope plugin may sort it.
