Gordon, I don’t mean to pry into your personal shebang, but if you don’t mind me asking, why are you so much in objection to a physical boxed copy of ProTools? HOnestly, that would probably be the way you’d wanna go anyway, as then you’d get your ILok included in the price of the software, plus, you even could get a really nice interface bundled with the product. I’ve even seen some bundles of ProTools 9 or ProTools 10, for that mind, going as low as $3 or 400 for everythging. I have a friend now, get a load a this! He went up on Amazon, and found a bundle suite which had an M-Audio Fast Tracks C400 USB interface, a full studioware microphone with pop filter included, a full upright floor mike stand, a microphone case, a microphone polish buff cloth, several adapters, studioware headphones, a long snake xlr cable, a studioware carrying duffle bag, an ILok may I add with the ProTools ascet license already on it, the software drivers for the interface, and a copy of ProTools M-Power9.03 all included. Including shipping straight out the door, you know what he paid? I think it was like, $400 if I remember correctly. Obviously that’s USD, not British Pounds/Pents, but it still proves my point. It was dirt dirt dirt! filthy butt cheap! Basically, being this stuff wasn’t refurbbed, that was a blessid steel! OK, he couldn’t do it digitally obviously, but for that cost? Are you freaking kidding me? Is it just that you don’t want to wait on it to arrive? Is the postal system there in the UK not very good? I guess I just don’t get your logic, no punn intended. LOL! For those who don’t get that joke, Logic is another sound editting application. LOL!
Anyway… Chris.
