Crash Proofing Pro Tools (video)

by Chris Bryant

Pro Tools Setup Tutorial Video

Ever had Pro Tools crash on you in the middle of working on a your music? Then you should watch this video.

I made this video to show you the key areas of the Digidesign Compatibility web site and show you some of the things you need to know to make your system as “crash-free” as possible.

Setting up your Pro Tools system to be stable is surprisingly easy to do. So watch this now and prevent your future sessions from being rudely interrupted by a cold error message saying “The Application Pro Tools has Quit Unexpectedly“.

Crash Proof Pro Tools: 18min, 34 secs.

Im just tracking down lots of problems on my set up.
Though i have been going through these stages a few times now
