Pro Tools SE User Guide2
System Requirements and
Compatibility
To use Pro Tools SE, you need:
• A qualified M Audio interface, running on a
qualified Windows or Mac computer.
• A qualified version of Adobe Flash Player
(not included).
• A DVD drive for Installation disc.
Avid can only assure compatibility and provide
support for hardware and software it has tested
and approved.
Pro Tools Co-installation Information
• Pro Tools SE cannot be co-installed with
Pro Tools HD, LE, M-Powered, and
M-Powered Essential.
• If you already have Pro Tool M-Powered Es-
sential installed and you want to use Pro
Tools SE instead, you must uninstall Pro Tools
M-Powered Essential first.
MIDI Requirements
USB MIDI keyboards and interfaces work effec-
tively with Pro Tools systems on Mac or Win-
dows.
Hard Drive Requirements
Pro Tools SE can be used on your system drive. A
5400 RPM drive is the minimum system require-
ment. If your computer has a slower drive (but
otherwise meets all the specifications) you can
add a drive or use the application with some re-
duced track count.
If you are using an ATA/IDE or FireWire hard
drive, initialize your drive with the Disk Utility
application included with Apple System soft-
ware (Mac) or the Windows Disk Management
(Windows).
Session Compatibility
• Pro Tools SE session files can be opened by
Pro Tools HD, LE, and M-Powered.
• Pro Tools HD, LE, M-Powered, and
M-Powered Essential session files cannot be
opened by Pro Tools SE.
• Pro Tools SE session files cannot be opened by
M-Powered Essential.
Refer to the compatibility information on
the Avid website:
(www.m-audio.com/ptsefaq).
Always back up any important data on your
drive before formatting it, as it will erase all
data on the drive.
For more information, see Appendix A, “Hard
Drive Configuration and Maintenance.”
