Hye,
When i try to open pro tools free, i get this message: " DAE erroe -228 encountered ".
What does it mean, and what can i do?
Thanks

I guess it's just that protools is not able to mount the library or something similar, did you check on the digidesign website ? Or on the Duc digidesign discussion list ? below you will find a list od the typical DAE error messages.

What you can try right away is just throwing away the Pro Tools preference and resart the computer sometimes the preferences get corrupted I have this problem very often with my mBox and PT LE under OSX.

Hope it helps

I think I found your problem Are you on OSX ? If so remember that PT free is only working with OS 9 up to 9.2.

Further more you cannot use the OS 9 classic mode under OSX cause it's not a real OS9 Sorry
here is the message from Digidesign web support


Answer Details

DAE error -228 when launching Pro Tools FREE.

Pro Tools FREE is not compatible with Mac OS X (not even in Classic mode).

If you want to use PT free you need to have Mac OS ) installed on a separate partition of your hard disk. If you have one of the new Mac machines which doesn't boot under OS9 it's over for PT free
sorry

Hey FullMoon where are you ? No replies anymore are you fedup with us or what ?

I have a new Powerbook 15" (bought in Jan. 2003) with boot up in OSX but also includes OS 9 Classic. I just have to re-boot in OS 9 and then I'm able ot use ProTools Free. I've recorded audio and used Kontakt with it without hassle.


Perhaps there are a new set of Macs that the ProTools tech department is referring to.

Ithink they are talking about the new generation which includes only the Classic OS9 Emulation (not a real OS9) And for thoses ones PT free doesn't work.

Do you have a OS9 installed on a separate partition of your hard disk ?

Pesji

I know that my HD isn't partitioned. But I'm not really sure how it uses the disk for booting into one or the other.

I just go to System Preferences/StartUp/Os9

Then restart.

Sorry for my mute, but i've been very busy last days.
Don't worry, i'm not tired of you, at all!!!
Thank you for your answers, I will try what you told me and then I'll give you the results.

thank you very much, see you later!
