I can't yet speak for the Anthology installer but I DL'd just one of those plugins -- H3000 Factory -- and indeed it opens in PT Native. This is a good thing. I'm surprised Eventide didn't notify me via email. Companies do seem to sidestep this important part of the update.

Thanks for letting me know. I'll give the Anthology installer a try and if that doesn't work I'll just go one by one.

edit: yes the Anthology installer does work. Great news.

From what I read for people who have tried this type of thing, the increase is approximately 15%. We should not expect the gains to be as large say as 50% or as small as 1%.

Let's try it out!

M1 Pro 32GB RAM / Low Roar with no MIDI tracks:
UADx AP Vision, Hitsville EQ, Studer A800 on every track
Eventide Blackhole, UADx Galaxy Delay, Liquidsonics Reverberate, Eventide H3000, UADx Plate, Eventide H910, UADx Lexicon 224 on FX Tracks and UADx Hitsville EQ Master on Master Bus.

As you rightly reported, at 1024 Buffer size, the performance difference is more toward 20%.

An interesting difference came when moving to 32 Buffer Size. Rosetta started throwing up -9173's when clicking on plugins during playback whereas in native mode I could open up every single plugin in the session on screen and it wouldn't fall over.

What about a freeze test? Select all tracks, freeze tracks. The difference was staggering: 186 seconds in native versus 255 in Rosetta: 73% faster!

Toontrack just released updates to EZDrummer 3 and EZBass with AAX Apple Silicon support.

Inspirata Apple Silicon support including AAX is now available. This also includes the Inspirata Lite plugin for inner circle members.

Many thanks! Thanks sounds good

Let's hope all plugins are updated to native M1 code in the near future.

...and the Avid Kbase for AAX Silicon Compato continues to be the definitive reference:

best,

The Avid Kbase list is wrong. So can't be definitive.
The Avid 304 bundle is NOT Apple Silicon native.
Also says all the Tokyo Dawn plugins are Apple Silicon. They aren't. Only the paid versions. All the free versions aren't.

If you hadn’t nailed it to the perch, it would be pushing up the daisies! It’s run down the curtain and joined the choir invisible! This is an ex-parrot!

Sorry, I couldn’t resist, and now for something completely different…..

Superior Drummer 3.3.6, native Apple Silicon support.

Awesome sauce! I had a project where I was having to use Blue Cat Audio PatchWork to run SD3. Felt good deleting that and loading SD3 directly!
