Really strange behavior with Pro Tools 12.5

[Thenewexhibit]

Hello, everyone!

Pro Tools is doing some strange stuff. I was forced to do an update to my macbook pro to Sierra 10.12.6. I assumed at that point based on what the Avid site said about compatibility with PT 12.5 and Sierra, that I would have to reinstate my plan with Avid for the $299 and go to PT 2018. I came across another thing on the Avid site that said 12.5 DOES work with Sierra, but not 10.12.6. Either way, I decided to just give it a go and Pro Tools seems to be working fine!

BUT, When I opened a session that was using the TSE BOD v2 plugin that simulates the sansamp bass driver pedal, I got an error that said "The plug-in could not be made active because a AAE error was encountered. AAE error -7054 was encountered." I've never seen that AAE before. I thought maybe it didn't work with Sierra (even though it says it does on the website), so I downloaded the newer version 3 of it, and THAT works, but version 2 still won't work which means I can't get the settings. No biggie.

NOW, I've encountered an even STRANGER problem. I went to use my waves L1 plugin while the session was stopped, and a dialog box with an AAE error (haven't seen it again, so I can't find the number and don't remember it). This is where it gets strange. Waves had a 25th anniversary update with a new GUI for the L1, the Q series EQ, BUT it was a paid upgrade! I SOMEHOW have the 25th anniversary editions, but never upgraded or paid for them!!! How is that even feasible?? hahah

I haven't trashed preferences of PT or anything since upgrading to Sierra (can you with version 12.5?). Is this something I should do?

Sorry for the long post, and thanks for reading!

Mike.

Yeah, if you're having that kind of weirdness, it couldn't hurt IMHO.

TSE BOD has been updated to version 3.

Cool! I will try that! Thank you! I noticed my fans kick on much sooner now too. Not sure if Sierra is more GPU intensive or not?

I noticed that! Thanks! I updated and it works fine. It's just that my old settings can't be taken from v2. It's strange that v2 still doesn't work though, as I believe it said it's compatible with everything I have.
