Pro Tools 2018

Hi, so PT 2018 was just announced at NAMM and is available right now.

I'm waiting to upgrade because of possible early bugs but I'm wondering if my latest DTouch software will support Pro Tools 2018.
In the Mix window there are some new things such as the EQ curve visual aspect, etc. which probably make the DTouch faders disappear when activated?

Hope to hear from you soon!

Please someone let me know :D I'm trying the trial version of this app now with 2018.1 on my microsoft surface.
It runs PT perfectly, decent temps and low cpu usage. Though cannot use any of the faders when running DTouch, also when I touch the faders it highlights the pan knob green, then trying the move the fader adjusts the pan knob. Some faders mute and solo tracks.

This Plus the MS Surface is a game changer. Espcially if they updated Dtouch to the new Ilok Cloud system.

I bet that you are using a scaling function of Windows OS; this is not supported!
MS Surface is totally out of specs: too high resolution, too small screen ...

I was able with the information from your comment just now to make it work within seconds perfectly.
Seems to work perfectly fine with Protools 2018.1

For the Microsoft Surface Pro 3 I followed these steps:
1: On both Dtouch and Protools right click the icon, go the properties, then compatability and select "Override High DPI Scaling"
2: Select a resolution of 1920X1200 and set scale to 100%

:D

Maybe!
But now you have the problem that MS Surface has a small touchscreen. Usually we suggest a minimum of 27". It's a matter of comfort.

Okay, so PT 2018 should work with the current DTouch version then?

We don't know. At the moment it isn't tested. We will test in next days and will keep you informed.

So I freshly installed:

macOS High Sierra
Uninstalled Pro Tools 12.7
Installed Pro Tools 2018.1
Uninstalled DTouch
Re-Installed DTouch

Everything works in the session I'm working in now.

I just opened a different session and now the faders don't work (they move other faders instead), same with Solo and Mute.

The Mac version will follow soon... stay tuned!
