Pro Tools CS Updates



Important Information About Pro Tools CS Updates:
Digidesign Technical Support recommends that in general, only the Pro Tools users experiencing the specific problems listed in the documentation on these pages should use the following CS updates. In some cases, a CS update may be recommended for all users to avoid potential problems.

These CS (for customer support) releases are provided as interim Pro Tools releases to address the specific issues described. While our testing has not shown these changes introduce other problems, fixes in CS versions have not been fully qualified by Digidesign unless otherwise noted. New features or changes to existing features are sometimes included with CS updates, and those additions (unlike other fixes) are generally qualified.

All Pro Tools CS Updates are cumulative, meaning the most current CS version available for any Pro Tools release will also include all fixes from all previous CS versions for that Pro Tools release.

  • Changes to the "Auto Write To" Switches
  • Changes to the Soft Keys Section
  • Dual Transport Mode
  • LED Test Mode Color Changes (D-Control ES Only)
  • D-Control Multi-Mode (Mac only)*
*Pro Tools HD 7.4cs1 and higher for Mac OS X added the ability to enter D-Control Multi-mode, which lets you use a single D-Control console to access up to four Pro Tools|HD systems on a network. Multi-mode lets you quickly switch worksurface control from one Pro Tools system to another by pressing a single switch on the D-Control console. Please note that older consoles may require upgraded components to support Multi-mode.

For complete information on these features, see the D-Control Addendum v7.4 document, available from the Pro Tools HD 7.4 CS download pages.
