Issues using a 003 control surface with Pro Tools 10 & 11 co-install
As of 7.22.2013 –
If you’re running the Pro Tools Co-Install with PT 11 and PT 10.3.x, you may find that your 003 control surface isn’t working correctly any more or it won’t show up. This problem exists because the 003 control surface drivers for each version of Pro Tools don’t play nicely together. Unfortunately, the only fix for this at the moment is to uninstall one of the drivers for your 003 control surface. It is important that you do NOT have both drivers installed, or your 003 control surface will not function properly. You’ll need to choose which instance of Pro Tools you want to run and install the 003 Control Surface driver for that version.
You can download the drivers for your 003 here.
To ensure that everything runs smoothly, we commend the following procedure:
- Uninstall Pro Tools and the 003 drivers and restart your computer.
- Repair the disk permissions. This can be done in the Disk Utility found in Applications>Utilities. Select your hard drive and click Repair Disk Permissions (near the bottom of the window). When that’s done, restart your computer.
- Install the 003 driver. Again, do NOT install both drivers. Choose the driver according to which instance of Pro Tools you will be running.
- Install Pro Tools and restart your computer. Note that if you choose to do the co-install, you will still be able to run both instances of Pro Tools, but the 003 will only work with the version of Pro Tools for which you’ve installed the driver.
- Repair the disk permissions again according to the same procedure detailed in step 2, then restart your computer.
- You should be good to go.

Otherwise, an invoice that meets the minimum purchase amount and contains at least one qualifying manufacturer product is eligible for promotional financing. No interest will be charged on promo purchase balance, and equal monthly payments are required on promo purchase until it is paid in full. The payments equal the amount financed divided by the number of months in the promo period, rounded up to the next whole dollar. These payments may be higher than the payments that would be required if this purchase was a non-promo purchase. During the last month(s) of the promo period the required monthly payment may be reduced due to the prior months’ rounding. Regular account terms apply to non-promo purchases.

The estimated required monthly payment shown which excludes taxes and delivery equals the amount financed divided by the number of months in the promo period, rounded up to the next cent. During the last month(s) of the promo period the required monthly payment may be reduced due to this rounding. These payments apply only with the financing offer shown. If you make these payments by the due date each month, you should pay off this amount financed within the promo period, if it is the only balance you are paying off. If you have other balances on your account, this payment will be added to any other minimum monthly payments.
