if my job only has pro tools 8...

are there any negatives of learning Pro Tools from the Version 10 videos??

will i encounter any set backs using 8 besides the obvious new features?

or should i just get the Version 8 videos?


thanks

You will still be able to learn information from some of the Pro Tools 10 videos. Just some of the newer features will be missing from Pro Tools 8. Like maybe skip 'Pro Tools 10 100 - Whats new in Pro Tools 10.'

Maybe start with the http://www.macprovideo.com/tutorial/protools8101, then move through to the other Pro Tools tutorials.

Thanks for your reply.

i understand the newer features will be missing from 8 but will all the normal features in the 10 videos still apply to 8?

maybe i should be asking is 10 a total revamp of PT or do the basic and common features stay the same? like keyboard short cuts, same common tools, plug ins, etc..

id rather learn the newest thing because my job will eventually upgrade, but again i dont want to be stuck wondering how to do something i learned from the 10 videos in 8 (again minus the new features)

thanks again

Hi djcymph,

I am still working on PT 9 so I cannot say for certain.

But it looks like most of the main features are still the same. There has not been a big revamp. The interface still looks the same as 9, which looks similar to 8 as well.

Maybe some of the other users using PT 10 can pitch in and give some other pointers?
