February Eleven Rack Poll Results

So in February we asked the question,

"If the current Eleven Rack were to be updated again - What would be the MOST important addition(s)? What would you most like to see added?"

There were a total of 75 votes, and keep in mind that you could choose multiple items (the total  % of ALL items will be over 100% because of that) 

And as expected, the top performer was Standalone Editor. The addition of a Standalone Editor is paramount to the future success of the Eleven Rack, at least in my opinion. As most of you probably know, Standalone Editor also has a majority of votes on the official Pro Tools IdeaScale (Eleven Rack section). As of today there are 293 "I agree" votes for the addition of a standalone editor, and keep in mind, IdeaScale is somewhat fragmented - meaning that the Standalone Editor request has more than ONE entry on Ideascale; so the total is much higher than 293. Some people may vote for one entry of Standalone Editor, but not the other(s) for example, which in turn depletes the total number of votes on each distinct request, so it may appear to a casual viewer that the Standalone Editor is not in demand to a great extent. Which it is.

To vote for the Standalone Editor, other requests, or add your own request - head over to the Pro Tools IdeaScale. PLEASE, search IdeaScale before adding your request, as there is a great likely-hood that your idea is already posted, and you do not want to fragment the vote.

Some what surprising to me,

ERXP Amps, Effects, ect... Not Showing In Pro Tools (Eleven Rack Editor Window)

If you have purchased an Eleven Rack and it included Pro Tools 9/10 and the ERXP (Eleven Rack Expansion Pack) a.k.a. Firmware 2.0.1 pre-installed, and you are wondering why the Amps, Effects, ect... that were added by the ERXP are not showing up in the Eleven Rack Editor Window in Pro Tools

OR perhaps you had previously installed the ERXP, and everything was working fine in Pro Tools, but you upgraded Pro Tools to another version, or you uninstalled Pro Tools and re-installed, or you upgraded to a new OS or new computer and installed Pro Tools; and upon opening the Eleven Rack Editor Window you no longer had access to the ERXP Amps or effects and the normal picture icons were replaced by the 'coil' icons as seen above......

The problem is that, currently, Pro Tools does not install the needed User Interface (UI) files for an updated Eleven Rack to display properly in the 11R Editor Window. What is installed are the OLD UI files that have been included since Pro Tools LE 8.0.1 - but these files do not contain the information for the items added by the ERXP - they only contain the information for the standard Amps, Effects, cabs, ect... that were included when the Eleven Rack was first released in 2009.

But there is a solution!

(*as of Pro Tools 10.1 and higher, the ERXP UI files are included with your Pro Tools install)
