I am new to the Pro Tools realm and seemingly cannot find the information I need. I am looking to load Spectrasonics Omnisphere within Pro Tools M-Powered 8. Help?

I have pro tools 8 m powered and just bought the auto tune EVO plug in. i installed it already but for some reason i cant find it in pro tools. All i see is EQ, dynamics, etc.. If i’m not mistaken auto tune should be in the pitch section which i do not see. how do i get auto tune to show on pro tools?? i already youtubed it and nothing helpful showed up please help.

Hi I have pro tools m powered 8 and a M Audio Interface.
But I don’t Have iLok, which i heard is necessary for some plugins. Is it that I can’t start pro tools without iLok or the pro tools will start the plugins wont work (iLok Authorized ones)??

Pro tools said it is out of memory during elastic audio processing. It says to reduce elastic compression or switch tracks to render mode. How do I do this? Thanks!

Can I upgrade from pro tools essentials to pro tools m-powered 8? i just bought the keystudio and would like to know if i can upgrade or do i have to buy it?

Regardless of the hardware. Is there any difference between the LE software and the M-Powered software?

Hey, this might sound dumb, but I don’t know how to turn on phantom power for my microphone on pro tools m-powered. Can someone please explain to me how I do this? I have an ST51 condenser microphone that needs phantom power to stream through pro tools. Can someone list the steps I have to do in order to get this to work?
Thanks
My microphone doesn’t have an on/off switch so I need to do something different.

I need a list of equipment for pro tools.
