PROTOOLS PLUG-INS TO UGRADE OR NOT TO....? pt. 2

So when I started blogging pt.1 during down time, it was 11pm sharpe, I came to a cross roads because I had recorded my N.C. sessions (???read New Journey's with old Friends if u haven't yet) on PT version 7.4  which conveniently isn't compatible with any Os lower than tiger, that means I can't just open up the session on PT 6.4 and start the creative process immediately....it just added an hour or so to each mix

What I'm doing now is bouncing every single track REAL TIME to disk as a .wav file...It is now 12:23 and I just had to copy the .wav files to an external drive eject. Load the external to desk top with the older version of Protools and my BUNDLE OF JOY:) 

I just tried to import files from my external drive with the DIGIDESIGN(company of protools) database folder on it from my newer version 7.4...So dig this, every time I tried to import my wav files straight from my external and everytime protools (right away) would shut down do to an error. 

So I copied my .wav's from the external directly on my desktops desktop, it took another 5 min. for only 16 tracks(slow to me). Importing directly from my DT's HD gave me zero problems....SCORE! It's a tedious process but for the best sound quality possible it's well worth it...

IT'S NOW 1:16 AM and I'm bouncing my first mix of the night and depending on how this sounds in the car tonight it might be the last song till fresh ears 2MOROW
