ProTools v3.4 Digital Audio Workstation software was released on CD-ROM free of charge by Digidesign as a promotional effort in 1997. It is an older but fully-functional 16-track version of the program. Pro Tools v3.4 was only approved for use with some PCI-based Power Macs, but it is possible to run the program on many older Macs, both NuBus and PCI models, by performing a simple manual installation.

interesting. i did not think this would be possible to use on my g4-450mhz. Im assuming this powermix mode is/was the technology cheifly responsible for empowering + enabling pro tools free in the first place... i had no idea it could be used on previous versions of pro tools, other then 5.01
although given a choice i would like to upgrade to 5.1+ from 5.01 and not downgrade to 3.4 free;) but its nice to know its a possiblity! thanks for sharing oakbog!
