Did I have to have a pro tools 8 or 9 prior to using pro tools 10 ?

No. You can install whatever version you purchase. Just make sure it's compatible with whatever OS youre running. But buying Avid MBox with PT 9, will get you an automatic upgrade to 9.6, then 10, plus free plug ins

No you actually don't If you had Pro tools you have to delete the old to replace with the new

Actually, this is an error on Amazon. It does not come with Pro Tools Express, it comes with Ableton Live Lite, and Ignition software. If you wanted to use EZdrummer, you should not have any problems.

Mine came with 9.0. I think that was why it was marked down to 1/2 price when I bought it. If you want to get 10 you have to pay full price. Also each install disc comes with the .0 version of the software and each consecutive version is free. So if you get a box with 10.0 you can immediately upgrade to 10.3 at no charge.

Yes, I would like actually like verification on this as well. I actually need to order this now, and can't wait to fully verify whether it comes with ProTools 8 or not. The only mention of a ProTools version in the product description is of ProTools LE 7, but it mentions the free upgrade to ProTools 8 when it is released, so I think the product description is just outdated. I believe all new Mbox 2's should come with ProTools 8. If it ends up coming with 7, I'll be trying to get a free upgrade to 8 from Digidesign, since the product description does say you are entitled to one. This was an old post, but I'll report back when I receive it and confirm whether or not it comes with ProTools 8 or not. I just don't want to have to pay the $150 upgrade for ProTools 8. If someone who ordered this off Amazon recently could confirm whether or not it comes with ProTools 8 before tomorrow when I have to order it, it would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Here is information I found regarding Pro Tools 9 and iMac. Though you are using Pro Tools 11, I'm thinking it should also work with the ZED-10FX Setting Up the Allen & Heath Zed-10FX with Pro Tools 9 on a Mac http://www.guitarplayer.com/miscellaneous/1139/setting-up-the-allen--heath-zed-10fx-with-pro-tools-9-on-a-mac/21545 Because Pro Tools cannot assign separate Input and Output paths, you need to select the Pro Tools Aggregate I/O in order to use the Zed-10FX with version 9 on a Mac. Here's how to set that up: 1. Launch Audio MIDI Setup (Applications folder -&gt; Utilities folder). 2. On the left side, select Pro Tools Aggregate I/O. 3. On the right side, you'll see the name USB Audio Codec twice. One represents Input, the other output. Click in the box next to both so you see a check mark. 4. Remove the check mark in the Resample box next to the input. 5. Close Audio MIDI Setup. 6. Launch Pro Tools 9. 7. Under the Setup menu, open the Playback Engine dialog box. 8. At the top where it says Current Engine, select Pro Tools Aggregate I/O, then hit OK. 9. Under the Setup menu, select I/O. 10. Select Input, then press the Default button to create a Stereo input path. 11. Next, create two mono paths to record your guitar by hitting the New Path button. Type in the number of mono channels you want (I chose 2), then hit Create. You should see that Input 2 and 3 have been added to the matrix. 12. On the Input 2 line, click in the empty box below the "L" so that you add an "M" below it. For the Input 3 line, click in the empty box below the "R" to add an "M". Now you've assigned your mono inputs. 13. Click on the Output button at the to of the screen and hit the Default button. You should see Built-in Output 1-2. 14. Hit OK.

The one I have has Windows 7. I had the option of 8; however, the software I was running was not stable on 8. This was the summer of '13 and from my understanding 8 had a patch released fall of '13 that was to take care of the issues. Software was AutoCadd.

Not sure whether it was a PRO version or not, but definitely windows 8, NOT 8.1!

No you have to put on the windows 8 home version before you put on windows 8 pro

It's probably the same hardware and software as the other site that you looked at. Check and see if the version of pro tools is the same though. It may be the full version of pro tools rather than pro tools express.

I haven't tried it personally, but there is no reason why it shouldn't. I do use a non-Avid affiliated interface with Pro Tools, and it works fine.

The particular item you are referring to does not come with Pro Tools software, but I am willing to throw in Pro Tools express for free. The listing that includes Pro Tools 10 software can be viewed at the following link: http://www.amazon.com/Avid-Eleven-Rack-Pro-Tools/dp/B00EW9ZD70/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1383162612&sr=8-2&keywords=Avid+Eleven+11+Guitar+Interface+Rack+with+Pro+Tools+11

No, Win 8.1 pro, both 32 and 64 bit, comes in a full upgrade version and will upgrade a previous version of Windows. If you just upgrading to pro, then you need 8.1 installed before you can upgrade the license to pro. See the other answers to upgrade a win 8 to 8.1 (non Pro) for free, but you will still need to get a new pro upgrade license to make it a full 8.1 Pro.

I do not know. In fact if have discarded the Acid Pro 7 as a waste of time and money. I just upgraded to Reason 8 on a Black Friday special from Propellerhead (the developer).

When I installed the Logic Studio 9 Upgrade on my MacBook Pro, I had version 8 installed. The install instructions said I needed to enter the serial number from my previous version or insert the XSKey. The upgrade did find the previously installed version and installed without the serial number or the key. I would say that if you don't have a version installed already, you will have to have a serial number or an XSkey.

Yes it will work with pro tools9.Ilok holds the code for your pro tools.it will not work with reason7.

It is up to your computer. If it is newish and running one of the Lions you could do that upgrade. 9 has good guitar sounds and a flex feature. However, better yet IMO, if you can get the $200 Logic Pro 10. It has all the old sounds, some new, an interesting drummer feature, and flex pitch. Pretty much everything you might need.
