Re: Check your bloody (third party) SSD Firmware Version is up to Date

Thanks for your potentially (digital) life-saving post and update.

However, I'm not sure the current Magician Mac version allows Firmware updates. The support page on the Samsung website...

Re: Sometimes sessions open, sometimes they dont..

I’ve tried all methods for starting PT and opening sessions, and there doesn’t seem to be any difference.

On starting PT, when it locks up I get a beach ball when the mouse pointer...

Re: Sometimes sessions open, sometimes they dont..

Hi all,

I've been having a similar issue since using recent Monterey updates and PT 2023.3 onwards, and now PT 2023.9 on a new install on Ventura 13.5.2. There seems to be some background process...

Re: PT2023.9 on best on Monterey or Ventura?

Anyone tried a comparison on an Intel Mac, please? I suspect Ventura is only 'snappier' on Apple Silicon, but I'd like to be proved wrong.
I'm on Monterey, Mac Pro 2019 and want to be sure Ventura...

Has anyone tried Monterey 12.6.8 update on Intel?

Hi all.

After some strange experiences updating from 12.6.6 to 12.6.7 (some kernel panics, put down to an older SATA PCIe card) I'm hesitating to update to 12.6.8, however I notice some kernel...

Any positive experiences with 2023.3 on Intel Mac?

Hi all.

I'm trying to decide if it's worth updating to 2023.3 from 2022.12 on an Intel Mac Pro (2019) running Monterey 12.6.2, and so far there seem to have been a lot of issues reported. However...

Re: Playlist related crash

I'm getting very odd behaviour when moving a clip in a track playlist - tracks or elements of the mix window will go black, and adjacent plugins (e.g. Waves Tune) start affecting the blacked-out...

Re: Artist Control and Mac Pro 2019 (7.1)

Thanks Eddie.

Re: Artist Control and Mac Pro 2019 (7.1)

Thanks for the suggestions, but no concrete solution sadly.

Re: Novaltech Character lost settings after permissions change

Forgot to mention - both TDM and Native versions of Character are affected, but, even more strangely, all other plugins seem to be OK. This makes no sense to me.
